A Sad Day

Good evening everyone. I am sitting here in quite a solemn state. I have not worked since the 15th of December and now the free time is over. I am on the fence of whether or not to go into work tomorrow or not. A lot of obstacles have been thrown in my way and I am dealing with them internally. With a family that has to drive far everywhere we go it means we need a reliable vehicle. Well just today the family vehicle became unreliable when we need it most. The weather is frightful and we are back to work to start the new year. I mean in a span of three days it has been one barrier then another and another. The problems have me even contemplating not going to work to tend to them. We will see where that goes.

To add to that, C.J. and I, who have been together all but two days during this break, have to part ways tomorrow. I think we both have the blues. C.J. has been quite different today. It was not until a few moments ago that I came to the realization that she might be acting up because she does not want to leave her Daddy! I mean can you blame her? When else does she get to sleep until she feels like waking up? Who else lets her make a mess while eating? Who else watches Sports Center with her everyday? Who else takes her to the mall and hangs out? Who else will play with her until she is ready to stop? Who else will let her take long naps and never interrupt her sleeping? The answer to all those questions is Daddy. We have had a blast together folks and it is hurting us both to see the time come to an end.

So today is a sad day in the life of C.J. and her Daddy. I think next year I might have to let her go to the sitter even though I am home. That will help us both not get too attached. We will get through this together though. So as always, please remember to pray because prayer changes things. It can even change C.J. and her Daddy's sad day into a good one.
