The Weekend That Was!

This was a great weekend for CJ and Daddy. We will define a great weekend as one that CJ and Daddy spend the majority of it together. For the past few months we have not enjoyed this type of weekend at all. It was Daddy's fault. He always had something to do or someplace to go. Then, on every Sunday in July, it was back to Ewing for work. This all ended on this past Thursday with the end of his program. So this weekend began with a relaxation day on Friday. Then on Saturday, Daddy and CJ dawned the same colors and went to a BBQ. Mommy did not hang...instead she attended a church function. She had a nice time and we both missed her.

So CJ and Daddy together is always an interesting situation. Yesterday, Daddy picked out her outfit to make sure they went along nicely. When we get to the barbecue all was well until another kid came in with CJ's sneakers on. Daddy was instantly pissed. He almost went to change his Princess but realized that all the outfits in the bag were meant to match the sneakers of the day. So he just had to deal with it. Luckily the other kid, for some reason, needed to change. Of course I went over to her guardian for the day and said, " I am glad you changed your kid because I was going to change mine but could not." Call me shallow but I never like to see someone with something that I have on in the same place. CJ ate herself into a nice long nap. She was pooped because she ate everything her Daddy ate. All except the hot dogs as she is not ready for those yet.

Today we went to a Jazz Brunch. I saw all my hard work in action today. When the musician was playing my Princess stood at attention. She even clapped at all the right moments. She really made herself known today because she was the loudest person in the room. She met a lot of Daddy's mentors, colleagues, students, and friends today. She was on her best behavior and friendly, too. This was different from yesterday when she did not want to be bothered by anyone. It was a great afternoon with CJ and Mommy. I really look forward to our time together in Las Vegas.

So CJ is down for the night and Daddy is going to chill with Mommy for a bit. He is the only one that has a destination in the morning, and that place is work. He is still due in and even has to present admissions info. Mommy and CJ get to sleep in as they have been doing for the duration of the summer. Yes, I am a hater but I will get over it. So for the night, do not forget to pray. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
