So, Christian took her to the doctor at 4:00 and the doctor diagnosed a double ear infection and put her on a new prescription. Great, a double ear-infection? A single ear infection I can handle but a double, it sounded downright unfair. This is what Friday night looked like at the Vaicius house...
Saturday was an excellent day for me. I finally cashed in my mother's day 2005 spa sampler gift certificate at H20 with Kelli while Christian and La Luz lounged around reading, playing, and watching dvds. Oh yea, and going stir crazy. Being locked up in a house with a sick toddler for hours on end can be tricky. I guess it was a good day to be stuck inside since it poured all day long.
The trip to H2O was incredible. I had a massage (for the second time in my life). This time was great. I even got on the table and faced in the proper direction (as opposed to my first massage when the masseuse came in and cracked up because my head was where my feet were supposed to be - how was I supposed to know? I thought the rolly thing where your legs go was a pillow). The massage was followed by a facial (my first one). It was incredible. All along I was sort of luke-warm about the facial thinking I might skip it and trade it in for some other service. As it turns out, it was my favorite part of the day. I have the lowest-maintenance skin regiment of any girl that I know so I just didn't think a facial was for me. I stand corrected. I don't really know how to describe why I liked it so much other than to say that the whole procedure felt incredible and my skin looked very different afterwards. The day ended with a combination manicure pedicure in the same room with Kelli so we actually had an hour to visit without chasing the kids around. It was a perfect gift.
Christian and I watched movies both nights this weekend since the weather was lousy and we didn't want to leave La Luz. We watched All The King's Men on Friday night. I like the way the movie looked and I enjoyed the story but I think Sean Penn's acting was a bit over-the-top. The main point of watching the movie was to see Richmond's scene. I couldn't find him and I even knew which scene he was in...f. On Saturday night we watched Brokeback Mountain. Once again, I like the way the movie looked. I was actually sort of disappointed because I love Ang Lee and I figured there had to be something pretty incredible about it since it won best picture last year. I guess my problem was that I didn't really like, identify with, or care about any of the characters and I didn't 'buy' the realtionship. I understand the theme but I didn't believe it was sincere. Maybe I would have felt different about it if I saw it in the theater.
Today Christian went to Baton Rouge for some volleyball related event so after a quick cup of coffee at PJs together La Luz and I walked up the street to mass. She was very well behaved but only because she had milk and then snacks to keep her occupied. After mass we went over to mom-mom and pop's to hang out with them and Richmond and Molly. When La Luz woke up from her nap she seemed to be feeling okay so we spent the remainder of the afternoon swinging and sliding at the park. Here she is enjoying a bit of the great outdoors...
