I have nobody to share this with because I am beyond mortified and embarrassed so I’m posting on here.

Today I had a very busy day ahead of me, I’ve been running around cleaning and doing laundry and grocery shopping, you know typical mom things.

When I got back from the store I figured I should take a Ritalin to kinda give myself a little extra boost ( they’re prescribed, relax) I usually only take half of one and save the other half for another day, when I’m out and about I keep the half I save in a zip lock so I don’t have to bring the whole bottle with me.

That was my first mistake, coincidentally my daughter also lost a tooth this morning so I also put her tooth in a little baggy to keep it safe until we got home.

I didn’t even think about the tooth until I took the bag out and swallowed what I thought was my half pill and I only realized when it felt sharp going down. I AM HORRIFIED. Before I get bashed for not realizing it was a tooth, 7 year olds teeth are so small and roughly the same size as my Ritalin. I also have to make up a story for my daughter because she’s going to want to put her tooth under her pillow tonight 😭

TLDR: I mixed up my medication with my daughter’s tooth she lost this morning because they were both in the same kind of zip lock bag
