What a nightmare those days were!! (Actually, even taking Ben to his pediatrician or anyone else...even when they are running ON TIME...is a nightmare. At almost 12, he is still worse than a toddler in waiting rooms!) However, I do have to say that I am jealous that you know the Lickona's IRL. How cool. Tell Matt that you have a blog buddy who adores his book 'Swimming With Scapulars' and actually got a few people to buy it and read it. His blog is a kick in the pants too. Hope your weekend is alot more fun! ~Peace, Rachel Man oh man, this reminds me of all the visits and tests we had done when we were trying to figure out his developmental and learning issues.

Oh my can I. Thanks - somehow it made me feel better. Not just that misery loves company ;-) but that others understand the frustration.

Though my children were more partial to thrashing temper tantrums than petty theft. Oh, and I am living proof that the 'injury in the waiting room' strategy is not 100 percent effective... If only those that live in medical specialist time could better understand and empathize with the challenges of living in mommy time. Aren't we all on the same team? Notwithstanding all of the above, I loved this post. It made me wish that I could meet you in person and sit at a kitchen table and talk with you :) I have lived this day…FUN!

I once sat in an OB's office for two hours before they figured out that they lost my chart and that's why they didn't call me back at my time. I asked if they wanted to pay the extra two hours for my babysitter, but they didn't think it was funny... OK, I'll let it go now... ;-) It so hard to believe that they can keep you waiting for hours to see them, but if you’re unavoidably detained and are 15 minutes late, they give away your appointment to someone else.
