Back On Track

The past few days I have been out of sync. Not being in front of my home computer made completing my blog a little more difficult. I have already made this an item of concern for anytime I travel from this point on. So today I am back home, and since Mommy proclaimed this as a day of vacation, I was with the Princess for the majority of the day.

When we finally got out of the bed, C.J. and I watched Saturday morning cartoons for the first time together. Now I will admit that the cartoons today are not like they were when I was a child. We ended up watching Arnold with the focus today being on different holidays. I did appreciate that we were able to learn something during our time together this morning.

After the morning faded away, the objective was to put up C.J.'s Christmas tree. As a directive from her grandma, we went with an artificial tree because we do not want the fresh pine to make C.J. sick or break her out. She has very sensitive skin. So I went and bought a tree during the beginning of a snowstorm. While I was out I did not buy any trimmings because I knew we had some. To my dismay when I returned home I could not find them. Somehow they are missing. (I will not go on record to say that I believe Mommy threw them out.) So I went back out in the middle of the snowstorm to get ornaments and lights. Well, as you can imagine, not one has lights in the short radius where I traveled, and the ornaments were scarce. I did manage to get ornaments though, blue and silver just like we always do. I will have some lights by the end of the day tomorrow if I have to make some myself.

So the day went well with C.J. and I hanging out. We ended the day watching the Rutgers vs. Central Florida St. Petersburg Bowl, the Penn State vs. Texas Women's Volleyball Championship, and the North Carolina vs. Texas Men's Basketball game. Not too mention Duke beating up on Gonzaga earlier today. I know you all probably say he is going to create a monster, but she really enjoys sports, so I will always watch them with her.

So it is good to be back home with my baby. I missed her a bunch these past few days, and today was a great time to catch up. Usually I am away on Saturdays in meetings or at some functions but that will all be changing. Gradually I am ironing out my weekend schedule to hang around with C.J. a lot more. This weekend is ending with a really bad storm that has hit the east coast, but at least we are close to a "White Christmas"! As I go, please always remember to pray because as you will learn, prayer changes things.
