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!

Happy Halloween!
This was the year that D "got it" and he was EXCITED!! Except when it was time to actually go out trick or treating, he wanted to watch his movie. Once he got out, there was no stopping him. However, we almost ran out of candy. Good thing D is young b/c the candy that he wouldn't eat, we "recycled".
The last 24 hours have been fun and full. Pumpkin carving, school Halloween party and then Trick or Treating. PHEW!! Time for some rest and relaxation.

Random items
Potty mouth Mommy:
D's preschool has a from-the-car drop off area. Mom's don't have to get out of the car to drop their kids off at school, the teachers come to the car to get them. So we're waiting in the line on Tuesday and there is a car ahead of us who pulled up to the door area. D obviously thought that we were going to be next b/c the next thing he does is throw his hands into the air and proclaim "aw crap!" NICE!! I put my head in my hands and realized that I've got to clean up my potty mouth.
The Mommy look:
I took D to the park on Saturday and we started at park the backside of the elementary school, but then moved to the park which is a city park. There were older kids at the park who had their bikes and skateboards on the equipment. I generally tell these kids (cuz I run into a lot) that for the time that little kids are around I'd appreciate if they'd not have their "toys" on the playground equipment. I have yet to have a kid ignore my request. So, these kids stopped their "playing" and moved onto racing each other in foot races. GREAT!! It's fantastic to see 12-13yo's actually playing.
As we were playing, an older (mid-upper 20's) man starts walking to the playground and the kids seem to know him and go over to him. The man enters the playground area talking on a cell phone and proceeds to drop a few F-bombs. WELL, I shot this man a "Mom" look b/c in the very next instant he looked right at me and said "sorry, really Sorry." "It won't happen again". WHEW!! I got it! I've got a MOM look that will even bring adults to apologize for their behavior.
Pumpkin guts:
A few months back a friend of mine posted something on a web board about using a canning lid to scrape the guts from a pumpkin. Well, today I decided to test it out. FANTASTIC!! Holy moly! Why didn't I know about this years ago? The canning lid doesn't have a handle, so no getting that caught on the opposite side of the pumpkin or your own arm. The lid fits perfectly in your hand, has a sharp enough edge to get to the pumpkin core in just a few swipes and it doesn't bend!! If you haven't carved your pumpkin yet, try this and if you have, put it in your mind for next year.

Sniffle snuffle cough cough
I've figured out that I get sick around Halloween every year.....well, at least this year and last year. I was thinking back to Halloween last year and I missed the Halloween bunco b/c I was hacking and wheezing. Same this year. UGH!! I've been disinfecting this house like a mad woman, but it's not helping. My cold is just going from bad to worse. I still sound like Kathleen Turner - the deep breathy voice. GREAT!!
D is coughing and has a runny nose, but nothing like what I have going on. Pretty much the entire month of October has been either D sick, me sick or the both of us sick.
I'm ready for change and I'm not talking about the election either.

Pumpkins here, pumpkins there, pumpkins flying everywhere!
Yesterday we got up and ready to go to the local pumpkin patch. FUN FUN FUN!! Even for the $8 each price of admission (you get a pumpkin of any size with that admission), it was well worth the fun.
First, we had to get ready for the day. D put on his orange shirt and then we spiked his hair. Well, with the spikes, must come color. ORANGE!! It was awesome!
The pumpkin patch had all sorts of fun things to see and play on. A huge hay bale pyramid, a corn sandbox (a big giant pit of corn kernels), pony rides, hay ride, pumpkin patch, face painting, petting zoo, pumpkin launch. The camera battery died before we were done for the day. We got 2 HUGE pumpkins and walked away very happy people.

YAHOOOOO!!
The cake is DONE!! And it's cute! I'm also adding pictures of the disaster cake that I made 2 weeks ago.
Ok, the monkey has no hands. I just couldn't figure out how to make them and have them look right.

I'm baking....again
Yes, I'm baking another cake. This one shouldn't be too difficult. It's a monkey cake. It should turn out to look like this, but I think/hope mine will be cuter.
Hopefully the cake disaster I had 2 weeks ago will not plague me this time. I've already baked the cakes, I'll make frosting tomorrow and start assembling. If my blogging suddenly ends...well, I've made a frosting rope and hung myself with it!! HA HA HA!
