Medicine Cabinet

I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet the other day.  What an annoying and tedious job!  Unfortunately, it had been far too long since i last accomplished this task.  Like, years...  I found, after pulling them all out, that each of them brought back a memory from a time in my life that was important to me.  Even if it was just important enough to know i never want to feel that way again!  Wierd how something so annoying can become a cool trip down memory lane!  There was the medicine that the doctor gave me when i felt horrible and had some kind of virus that i kicked before all the medicine was gone (thats what it says on the bottle, right??  Stop taking when you feel better.).  There was the medicine (this stuff could make me a rich woman on the streets now) that was for my son when we thought he had ADD....There is all the children's medicine (the good tasting kind and, ironically, almost full bottles of the bad tasting kind) that my kids are too old to take now.  There was that one bottle of medicine that had a myriad of different pills in it that I swore I would remember what was in it and when i put it there, but now, i have no clue.  There were the empty bottles of hormones and shots that i took before I got pregnant with Ann.  Then there was the medicines that I took when I was pregnant with her (or didn't take in some cases because I knew better than the doctor and those things should not be given to a pregnant woman!).  However, had I taken them, I may not have thought I would die of dehydration in the first trimester....Most of these medicines got flushed down the toilet, but the memories are still sharp in my mind....
