I wish I would have awakened rested after a full night's sleep, instead of tired after spending half the night trying to soothe Ada's inconsolable screaming.
I wish our Doctor was just around the corner and had appointments available at times that were convenient to me.
I wish that after all the preparation to leave the house and the 30 minute drive and the many (failed efforts) to be on time to our appointment that the doctor would have been there, instead of delivering a baby.
I wish that we could have seen the other doctor a little sooner than 1.5 hours after we arrived at the office.
I wish that I would have remembered, when I decided to dress Ada at the doctor's office so that we wouldn't be late(r), to bring socks (although she did make the "I meant to wear polka-dot pajamas and a striped sweater"-look work).
I wish that Ada's double ear infection would have been developed when we were at our last doctor's appointment--last week.
I wish that I would have realized the lid to the cheerio container was loose before Ada dumped them all over the floor of the waiting room.
I wish Ada would not have eaten any of those spilled cheerios before I could pick them up.
I wish that Cambel could have played just a little bit longer with the germ-infested toys in the waiting room (kidding on that one).
I wish Ada would have lasted one more day on her self-imposed fast from all meals so that I would not have felt so bad for failing to bring her anything to eat (besides the cheerios of course).
I wish we would not have walked into Meijer's to fill Ada's prescription at the same time as the creepy man who kept talking in a Donald Duck voice and using the word "precious" in a tone that made it seem like a creepy message instead of kind compliment.
I wish I would have noticed that Cambel was stepping off the side of the grocery cart to fix something before he tripped and fell and I almost ran over him.
Oh I wish, I wish.

This is funny Maria - probably because it didn't happen to me. Hope tomorrow is better and free of animated character impersonaters.
Too funny!! I hope tomorrow brings better times:) Hang in there.
Maria, you are such a great mom! I sympathize COMPLETELY! Why does it seem like taking 2 kids to the dr office is harder than ANY challenge they can think of on Survivor!!!
Hey, thanks for the shout-out, even though your day was terrible. :) Maybe you'd like to start grocery shopping at a Ft. Wayne Meijer and we could run over our boys together!
I loved your list :)
Thanks too for posting the Team Brooklyn widget :)
