Just Another Mindless Monday

Good Monday morning!

As you can tell from the SPARSE Gallery below, the weekend did not go as planned... at all.

Just the facts, please!

Friday, May 13 (Noon) - Roxie and I get the good news. After 14 weeks, her broken finger is as good as new. She can play ball!

Friday, May 13 (5:00 p.m.) - Roxie calls me to pick her up at the gym. She doesn't feel well.

Friday, May 13 (5:03 p.m.) - I pick Roxie up at the gym. She has a fever. She has a sore throat. She is sick!

Saturday, May 14 (8:00 a.m.) - Roxie and I head to the doctor's office for a shot. A shot of anything. A shot of magic medicine which will make her feel better IMMEDIATELY.

Saturday, May 14 (8:30 a.m.) - The doctor says they are not giving "magic medicine" shots this Saturday. The doctor says Roxie has a fever virus and will just have to let it run it's course.

Saturday, May 14 (8:31 a.m.) - Roxie and I decide to get Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappes to make our throat feel better (hers... not mine). We also talk about finding a new doctor.

Saturday, May 14 (3:30 p.m.) - Roxie has had no fever since the morning hours. She is incredibly weak, and has a headache and a sore throat. We decide to definitely find a new doctor.

Sunday, May 15 (8:00 a.m.) - The fever has been gone for almost 24 hours. Roxie is still weak, but fever-free. I decide a shower would make her feel (and smell) much, much better.

Sunday, May 15 (9:00 p.m.) - Roxie goes to bed early and rests well during the night. Volleyball tryouts begin tomorrow. She has to be at the school by noon or she cannot try out.

Monday, May 16 (8:00 a.m.) - Roxie is still fever-free, but very weak. She still has black rings under her eyes.

Monday, May 16 (5:00 p.m.) - This will be the end of the first day of volleyball tryouts. We are praying she will make the first cut.

Feel free to pray with us today. I know it is a little thing in the middle of all that is going on in the world, but to a 14 year-old chick, it is huge. (I'm thankful God doesn't mind us coming to him with the "little" things.)

RANDOMNESS #1 - Roxie and I spent Saturday watching the NCIS marathon. I have never watched NCIS. Austin introduced it to Roxie, and she loves it. I fell in love with Mark Harmon all over again. I am now officially hooked.

RANDOMNESS #2 - Roxie and I spent much of Sunday morning watching the Say Yes to the Dress marathon. I told Roxie if she EVER got me in front of a group of people and picked out a $10,000 wedding dress when I told her beforehand the budget was $3,000... and then had the NERVE to roll her 20-something eyes at me, she could get married in a Rue 21 dress!

She told me it was just a show, and I needed to calm down. (She was right.)

RANDOMNESS #3 - Josh is loving his new job, and I love that!

Since it is Just Another Mindless Monday, it is supposed to be short on words and long on pics. (Pretend there are 25 or more zoo pictures below. That's what I'm going to do today! Pretend!)

Have a great Monday. I have a wonderful recipe to share with you tomorrow morning, as well as volleyball news and probably some pictures of the dogs. (When I'm picture-poor in the Gallery, I tend to let you catch up with anything and everything going on with Sparkle and Copper. I think it's going to be that kind of week!)

Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda
