Crazy shopping

So I met a friend for lunch on thursday, then we walked over to the fabric store. It was a delightful early afternoon, I got some material to make my swim suit and some odds and ends I need for Mitch's cloth book. Mitch was content this whole time, just looking around. Well said bye to my friend and off to run a couple errands, the last of which was grocery shopping. It was coupon thursday (10 off every 50 spent). I had waited all week to get what we need and we literally had no food in the house. I may have absentmindedly put the last of our butter in the pantry when I made toast earlier in the week. Our milk was expired and we had no butter, so that means not even Mac n Cheese for dinner. Anywho, we are shopping at the local grocery store and Mitch is being a good baby, playing with his blanket cow in the front of the cart (by the way he can sit in the front of the cart! Go Mitch!!) I'm almost done grocery shopping and he starts screaming his head off for no identifiable reason. He's not wet or dirty, nothing. So I do my best to calm him down while rushing to grab the butter (which is what we need because I lurve my toast.) Then rush to the checkout. I can't calm the kid down. This grocery store is one where you take your items and go to a separate area after you pay and bag your own stuff. So I scramble around for my debit card to pay, while holding a 20 pound screaming child (yea I know my son is huge) I go to the bagging area...I don't know if you have ever tried pushing a cart while holding your child, but its not easy...and set him in the front of the cart, which of course means he screams louder. The cashier actually came over to me and bagged my groceries...thats how bad this was. So I rush out of the store (rather embarrassed at this point)and strap him in his car seat and literally toss the majority of the groceries in the trunk. We get home and I set him in his highchair so I can put away the perishables and he is sitting there perfectly content... seriously not a peep just smiling at me watching me put away groceries. My almost 7 month old son made a scene at the store for no reason whatsoever...I am in for an adventure.
