I hate those moments...and thankfully they're rare. Everything is humming along nicely, and then some little insignificant thing happens and throws off your whole mojo.
For example...we are going to WDW day after tomorrow. To say I am excited is an understatement. I've been meticulously planning this trip for two years. Vacations in our household are a rare and precious commodity...like unobtanium...or sighting Bigfoot. So when we do take our every-other-year-or-two trips, we can get pretty intense about them.
We also own a business, which is why the trips are so rare. It takes an act of Congress for DH and I to get time away together, and then for us to make all the necessary arrangements to ensure our business and home will still be standing when we return. This is probably the real reason I'm so on edge.
Anyhoo...today was just supposed to be packing and picking up any last minute things...AND I had a doctor's appointment. It was with my orthopedic surgeon who did my back surgery 6 months ago. This should've been my final recheck, and I was to get (presumably) the greenlight to be a normal human again. I THOUGHT the appointment was at 1:30pm...even had it written that way in my day planner and in my phone calendar. Imagine my horror when I saw the appointment card on the counter this morning and it said 9:30am...and it was now 11am.
I was just crushed. Everything had been going so smooth and orderly, I guess i just saw the missed appointment as the beginning of a string of potential glitches that may mess up our trip. Yes, I called the doctor and rescheduled (for next week after we come back from WDW), but I was so looking forward to having the surgeon's "blessing" NOW before the trip...for the record, I KNOW he would've said I am 100%. My physical therapist said I was good to go, and the doctor thought i was doing great 2 months ago.
Add to that, I am almost out of a prescription for one of my horses (he gets eye ointment twice a day). I have enough for ME to medicate him for two weeks, but the people caring for my horses (while AMAZING people and I have every confidence in them) aren't as careful with the stuff as I am and tend to waste a lot of it trying to get it in his eye. So I am worried they will run out of medicine while I'm gone. So I call the vet to refill but the pharmacy is OUT OF THE MEDICATION and won't have it until THURSDAY (we will be away). I arranged to pay for it and will have someone pick it up for me, but still..
Stress!! Talk me out of the rafters people!! I need this trip BAaaaaaaaaAAADDD!
DH says come Wednesday we won't have to worry about anything but what time the parade starts!

We ordered pizza and I just knew the guy was going to get the order wrong. The pizza came and it had ONIONS on it
(Especially hotels at Disney!)
Okay, fine. I understand. 
I'll probably always remember the crying jag I went on while pregnant when hubby got home one day with Mexican food...the cheese in the enchilada had started to congeal (a phobia I developed while pregnant and continues to this day, though I don't cry about it now) AND he'd forgotten the guacamole... He handled it like a champion, but I just couldn't stop crying!
