So much in so little time

We're leaving on a jet plane.....um, the song doesn't fit b/c I do know when we're returning. ANYWAYS, we're off to Chicago, cold cold cold Chicago. Why, oh why did we choose to go there in winter? Stupid us!! June, June is the time to go. It's still colder here and nice warm and sunny in Chicago.

I have lots to do, but at least all the laundry is done.
I have to complete the following tasks:
Pack - me
Pack - D
M is packed, I don't pack for him.
Drop dogs at kennel after 3pm
Pick up take-out dinner
After D in bed, run to WalMart and pick up Airplane toys, snacks.
Pack carry-on bags
Review what has been packed.
Make sure kitty has plenty of food/water
Take trash out - including kitty litter
Mentally prepare for the bitter cold waiting for us.

I know that the time we spend with family and friends will go by too fast. We'll have LOTS of fun and eat tons of food!! Chicago hot dogs, pizza, White Castle...etc!! Can't wait for that! That doesn't even include eating T-Day dinner!!

Could have been bad, real bad!

I have/had a dentist appointment scheduled this morning. When the dentist called to remind me of the appointment, I told them that I need a new prescription for my pre-meds. Because of my heart surgeries, I must take an antibiotic premedication prior to the dentist appt.

"we'll call it in" said the receptionist.

After dinner last night, I drove over to pick it up. I went through the drive thru and didn't even look at the bag. Just stuck it in my purse and went home. Right before bed, for some reason, I decided to look at the bottle. Good thing I did. It was Amoxicillin!! I'm totally allergic!

I haven't taken any type of Penicillin since I was 2-3yo, but I don't want to know what would happen if I did. When I was a baby, I'd get hives. Those are not fun, but the pre-meds I take are 2000mg!! OMG! I shutter to think what may have happened.

Thank goodness I decided to look at the label. Always look, people. You just never ever know what may happen!
