My Trip to the Pharmacy

I've seen the segments on 20/20, people are given the wrong medication from the pharmacy. What are the odds of that happening to me? Well, I found out that my odds are extremely high.
I made my monthly trip to Rite Aid to pick up my Synthroid. The cashier smiles and greets me. She knows me by first name. Walks back to get my bag with my meds, rings me up & I am on my way. Go home with lunch for the kids (they were off today).

After lunch I take out the pamphlet from them the medication bag & look through it. I note the name of the medication on the pamphlet. Is there a new Brand name for Synthroid that I don't know about? I pull out the bottle & notice the dose. The dose can be confusing at times due to the microgram/milligram conversions. Hum? I look at the bottle & notice the name of the medication, Xanax. HUM????? I then look at the name. NOPE not me. WOW! Xanax! Maybe I should keep it? Nah! I need the energy, not to be numbed out. So back to the Rite Aid I went.

You could blame it on the full moon or the date of Fri 13th. But I would just blame it on the work ethic of today's generation. Glad you caught it before it could have been dangerous.

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.

I Don't Think So

Living on a dead end street SUCKS! We are always the last for everything. Since we are currently snowed in, I had to tell the hospital that we will not be having mom's surgery tomorrow. Not only are we snowed in, but they wanted us to be there at 5 am. Yeah right! Not with these cold teperatures & the risk of the roads being a complete sheet of ice. I don't think so.

Over Run By Divas

The Birthday Girl The Divas The cake. The one I worked long & hard on. It was made from scratch. I'm talking everything except the edible picture. We sang, the candles were blown out, the cake was cut & distributed. Then the food critic voice her opinion loud & clear. "I don't like this cake." She set the trend for the rest of the group. They slowly brought their plates back to the table one after the other. It was like the march of the penguins. Who do they think they are Gordon Ramsey? I can only imagine what they are going to be like when they are older. Bridezillas look out! January, 31, 2009
