a little stressed

Some how I got into my head that we had a dentist appointment on Oct. 10. I took the kids out of school and we went in for this appointment. We got to the dentists office about 15 minutes early. As we are sitting there waiting for the office to reopen after lunch I got a feeling that I had gotten the appointment wrong. I called the office and got the message that they were out of the office last week. I checked the texts they had sent the day before and read 16 not 10. Next time I think I will take an extra second to actually read the texts before replying yes to them. I didn't read them because I was in the middle of trying to get things ready for mutual that night and had a couple other texts I needed to reply to. All excuses I know, but it makes me feel better.
It actually doesn't make me feel better. We made a day of it with the kids, but when it comes down to it, I still had to take the kids out of school for our actual appointment.
Our appointment went well for everyone but me. I hate that I have such terrible teeth. All of my molars have huge fillings, partial crowns or crowns. one of the huge fillings have a part that was smoothed down below my gum line. It has finally come to the point where it is causing problems. I am almost to the point of gum disease. Fun, right? Aggressive treatment is just crowning the tooth. Less aggressive is a prescription mouth wash.
So most of the time I don't mind this small town that we live in. Every time I have to fill a prescription I complain. The closest pharmacy is 50 miles away. When you are paying cash for every prescription until your deductible is met you go where it is cheapest. I have NEVER had so many problems with filling prescriptions. I am not saying it is pharmacy's fault. A lot of it is that the prescriptions were written in one state and I am filling them in another. It becomes a huge problem when I wait around all day to get the prescription only to find out that they weren't able to fill. I love to drive, but having to make 2 trips to pick up 1 prescription?
So this is not the direction I had planned on going with this post. I was going to talk about how stressed I have been filling lately, and reading the appointment date wrong was just a manifestation of the stress. In a way though the prescription also play a role in this.
I do love my life. It just a little stressful right now.
