Today I just realized that I didnt take my pills Monday and Tuesday. My usually time to take them would be at 4:30 and I wont get off work til 5 and today would be the 3rd day. Can I go home for lunch and take the 2 that I missed and then take the 3rd one today at its regular time or am I no longer safe?
I've been on the pills for about 3 years now and I've been consistent with them. Can someone tell me if its ok to take the 2 pills that I missed during lunch then continue with the 3rd one at its regular time?

I think it might behoove you to read your information pamphlet.
But to answer your immediate question, you can get home at 5 today, take TWO pills today, then tomorrow take TWO more. Be aware you may cramp or spot. Then continue your pills as you normally would.
You MUST use BACKUP contraception for SEVEN full days before having unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.

You probably only want to double up on the pill, and not take three in one day. Take the pill you missed Monday today at lunch, and take your regular pill for the day at your usual time. Tomorrow, take the pill you missed yesterday either at lunch or at your regular time. Use a condom for the next week.

You will need to take two tonight and two tomorrow to cathc up and you will be fine. If your timing is a little off for ex. usually 4:30 and you take them at 5 or 6 it shouldnt really matter b/c you have been on them for so long.

You need to read the pamphlet that came with your pill pack. Or talk to your doctor or pharmacist. What brand are you on? If you don't have the pamphlet, google "*pill brand missed pills".

Yes it is safe you usually don't get pregnant unless you miss 4-5 days in a row. I want you to look at the instruction booklet that comes with them and it will tell you everything you need to know.
