I'm Back!

Wow! Two whole weeks since my last blog post, that has to be a record! Sorry, there just hasn't been a whole lot going on here besides Lily and I being sick. Lily had that HIGH fever the night before her birthday party and seemed fine afterwards, but that Wednesday started complaining that her ear hurt, so we went back to the doctor for the 3rd time in a week (we had been there Monday too, for a follow up after the ER trip and the Thursday before for her 4 year well visit). There was indeed some fluid in her ear that had not been there on Monday, so she got some antibiotics and since we were there they ran ALL the tests again. She even got to pee in a cup . . . guess who got to hold the cup? Thankfully she was negative for strep, flu, rsv, mono and her urine and throat culture results were negative. So, it was just the start of an ear infection, which the antibiotics should have taken care of by now. Meanwhile, while I was with her at the doctor I was NOT feeling well. I actually called my Dr from the parking lot of the pediatrician's office and got an appointment for the next morning. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and then spent the next 5 days napping whenever humanely possible. So it was a pretty low key week.

The most exciting thing that happened that week was that I got to corrupt Lily by introducing her to one of my favorite childhood movies! Those of you who know me well, must realize by now that I let Lily watch "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"! I loved musicals as a child, and my parents thought I would enjoy this one -- they were right! All the singing and dancing and pretty girls in fancy dresses (and lingerie). So when I saw it on cable, I recorded it to watch myself (even though I do have it on DVD). Usually, Lily doesn't pay much attention to what I am watching, she rather play with her dolls, but all the singing, dancing and pretty girls in fancy dresses caught her attention too and she was hooked. She LOVED it. She is such a little mini Vicki. It is really not that bad of a movie and most the "bad" parts went right over her head. She, like me as a kid, just liked the songs. Plus, she was very into the fact that it was in her state of Texas! She calls it "The Texas movie" and asks to watch it again and again. She even told Chip to call her "Miss Mona" and of course Chip was NOT to happy with me! :)
