Sorry, you failed the IQ test: part 2

My conversation with the person on the appointment line this morning:

Me: Hi. I need to see if I can move my daughter's appointment with Dr. Miller. She's scheduled on November 1, but I just found out that she will be out of school on November 2, so I'd like to change the appointment. Appointment person: I am pretty sure Dr. Miller doesn't have any openings for the rest of the year, but I'll check. When is the appointment scheduled? Me: November 1. If I can get November 2, I'd like that instead. Appt. person: Let's see, nothing on the 2nd...she's at the other office on the 4th... Me: No, if there isn't an appointment on the 2nd I'll just keep the one we have. Appt. person: I can look at the following week- no, it doesn't look like she has an opening then either. Can we look further in the month? Me: No, I'll just keep the appointment on the 1st. Next time, I think I'll just skip the phone calling step and just talk directly to my cubicle wall.

Who's Who

    Hubby- aka DH My husband since 1995. He is the head of the band department at a college prep school, and dabbles as a wanna-be pop star.

    The Princess- aka DD. Third grader at the local parochial school. Loves butterlies, sparkly things, the color purple and has recently developed a crush on one of the twins from "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody". Is ready for her teenage years, having already perfected her exasperated sigh and dramatic eye-roll.

    Hoss- aka DS1. Kindergartener and resident spirited child. His aunt likes to call him "the evil genius" because of his penchant for letting a lack of intellectual stimulation lead him into mischief. Likes trucks, sports, building things and burping. His current favorite word is "underwear."

    Lil Joe- aka DS2. Born in 2003. Doesn't say much we can understand, but has mastered the important stuff ("eat!", "Wash hands!", "Want chocolate ones!", "Hockey game!") Likes to push buttons, much to the consternation of whoever is trying to watch a DVD. Firmly refuses to use the potty, despite evidence that he is physically ready to be out of diapers, indicating a level of stubborn that eclipses even that of his parents and siblings.

    Me? I'm the Mama. That's all you need to know.
