Urgent Care Blues

Will somebody get this kid a haircut?

This week has been kind of different for Rooney. Monday Roonster went with his mom (me) to an Urgent Care. Sunday while playing soccer my left hand and right foot were injured. My hand got hit very hard by a soccer ball. The ball kept going after it hit me, and since it was kicked by one of my team mates, I was saddened when my body didn't at least deflect it into the goal. I have no clue what happened to my toe but I'll attribute any injury to getting older or from being pregnant with Rooney. I haven't found a link with being pregnant and my feet yet so it must be attributed to age. (Yikes! I can't believe I can start saying that) Good news is nothing appears to be broken. Bad news is we still lost the game.

So Roonster and I have been hanging around the house the last couple of days. Mike was home 1-1/2 days to take care of us. The week before I bought Rooney castanets (to build his band) and they became very useful while Mike was home. Since he didn't want me up on my foot, he had me use the castanets to call him when I needed something. I felt really silly using them but they worked and Mike didn't get mad at me for getting up.

I think the Urgent Care may have made Rooney sick though. While we were waiting forever in the waiting room, I let Rooney run around and play with the toys they have out. God knows the last time, if ever, those toys were washed and how many little snotty hands have played with them. Plus I'm sure any clinic is just cess pool of germs. Rooney has since become a snot factory. There is more than one type of flooding going on in Western WA!

Does Mike not want him to get his hair cut?

Did Rooney like Uncle Andy's hair and now refuses???

Ooh, he doesn't need a haircut for a long time. At least wait until someone mistakes him for a girl!
