Children that are supposed to be medicated and are not, are not fun....as a matter of fact they are quite the opposite. So, it should be NO surprise that when Banana's medication ran out I wanted to quickly get a refill. Therein starts the adventure...
I went into panic mode as I couldn't find the prescription. Her dad and I looked everywhere we could possibly think of...it was nowhere to be found. So sitting at work yesterday, it occurred to me since the prescription had been written ahead of time, I PROBABLY had dropped it off at the pharmacy and asked them to hold it on file...so I wouldn't lose it. After work I went to the pharmacy....nope, no prescription on file (but they did give me the wrong meds for Bubba). Back home I went where Dad and I tore the house APART looking for it. There in a pile of paperwork (that I had kept on the counter for a reason and dad had put with other paperwork UNDER the china cabinet) was a prescription. I got very excited, until Dad nicely pointed out that the prescription I found said, "Do not fill until 7/30/14".
So, of course, being the good mother I am, I went BACK into panic mode.
Me: "How could it be missing?? It would HAVE to be with this prescription because I kept them together!! Did you check..."
Dad: "Yes"
Me: "Well, did you look in..."
Dad:" Of course I did!"
A few minutes of this goes past with me never finishing a sentence and him always replying that yes, of course he looked where ever he thought I was about to say....UNTIL...
Dad: "Oh, wait a minute. Didn't I drop that off a while back?"
Me: "The pharmacy said they didn't have it on file"
Dad: "I am going to call them"
Me: "I was JUST there, they don't have it!"
Dad: (on the phone) "You do have it? You filled it on July first? GREAT! I will be right down to get it!"
Me: "WOOHOO!!! Wait...then WHY did they say they didn't have it??"
Dad: "Because they didn't have it in the file, they had already filled it."
Me: "It would have saved ALOT of time if they had checked that when I was there 45 minutes ago....or, ya know..if you have REMEMBERED that you had already dropped it off....just sayin"
Dad: "Don't"
Me: "Don't what?"
Dad: "Don't be just sayin"
Me: "ok...LET'S GO!!"
That was only the most recent adventure of course.....
On Monday, Banana asked for paper, a pencil and some tape. I gave her all three. An hour later she comes to me and says, "Mommy, come look". I followed her, and there on her door is a sign she has written (mostly correctly) stating, "No Dogs Aalfkjad In My Room".
Me: "Great Job Banana! The only problem is that it is too high up on your door, the dogs can't read it all the way up there"
Banana: "Oh yeah"
So she moved it down......hehee
On Tuesday....As I'm getting ready for work...Banana says something to me about peanut butter and ceiling fans...I quite honestly wasn't totally paying attention but DO recall saying that it probably was not a good idea. I also recall her giving me a funny look, which I did not put much thought into.
I left for work, Banana left for Grammy's house. I arrive home from work to Dad saying, "You are NEVER going to believe what YOUR daughter did" (Notice she is MY daughter when she is in trouble). He brings me into Banana's room where he shows me globs and spirals of peanut butter all around her room on her walls.
SURE ENOUGH....My intelligent artful child had figured out that if you spread peanut butter onto the blades of the ceiling fan and turn the fan ON, it flings peanut butter around the room making beautiful art work on the walls!!! Then to COVER IT UP, she put very colorful socks OVER the blades of the ceiling fan so we wouldn't see what she had done. I thought it was quite intelligent and was highly amused. Dad was not amused at all as he cleaned off the peanut butter and nearly blinded himself with cleaning fluid (NOTE: When spraying cleaning fluid onto a ceiling fan, DO NOT stand under it and look up!!).
I then had to go to work and share what my wonderfully intelligent artful child had done, EVERYONE EXCEPT DAD is highly amused.
Banana comes home from Grammy's today....I can't WAIT to see what the rest of this week brings!!!
I'm glad I'm not a rabbit, think of all the fun I'd be missing right now!
