Is it Me? Part 2 Cont.

My prescription still has not been filled. Seriously. My doctor's nurse called me around 2:30pm to say that she was faxing back the approval and that I could go and pick up my prescription today. Thank god. I had an appointment to see my chiropractor at 5pm, so I thought I would swing by my pharmacy on the way to the appointment.

I load the kids in the car and drive to Walgreens. I have to go inside (although they do have a drive through) because - adding insult to injury - that time of the month started today and I am out of tampons. Lovely. I am walking - at a 45 degree angle at this point - to the back of the pharmacy, wrangling two kids that just want to run and grab everything. I squat on the floor (because it hurts to stand) waiting for our turn at the counter. Kelan and Lauren have decided to rearrange the over the counter medicine display - I let them. Soon Kelan notices that I am holding a box of tampons. The conversation goes like this: Are those tampons? Yes. We need more tampons? Yes. We have no tampons at home? Yes. We need more tampons at home? Yes. I am now hysterically laughing and crying because not only is this funny in itself, there are about 5 people behind me in line (women and men) who can hear - and are laughing. In fact, the woman behind me said that her day was now not so bad.

I get to the front of the line only to hear that they are still waiting for approval from my doctor. You have GOT to be kidding me. I leave the store - sans tampons - and struggle to put both kids back into the car. A wasted trip on my poor back. I call Dan, tears streaming down my face, just to hear that he will be home soon and will take care of me.

The chiropractor helps, but I still am in pain. I come home and start dinner (I would have gone to McDonald's for Happy Meals, but I did that yesterday...). Dan comes home and is ready to go to Walgreens - I call to make sure that my beloved vicodin is ready. It is not. It is 6:30pm. I have had it. It has been two full days. I call the on call doctor. She realizes that the approval was faxed to the wrong pharmacy. She apologizes and says she will fix the problem. Unbelievable. Is it me?
