Yes we had more snow but that was nothing compared to what CJ and Daddy went through this week. First, we must give God all the praise for bringing us through alright. We took some bumps and bruises and we may have some lasting knots on our heads but we are here and we thank God. We I have to start with the ride home Tuesday to refresh your memory. As we approached the Victory Bridge which connects Perth Amboy and Sayreville, New Jersey Daddy heard a sound that he has heard before which he does not like. When he turned he saw a sight he never likes to see. That sound and sight were of CJ vomiting all over herself. Not one huge projectile but two. All Daddy could say was, "I do not believe this." Then he asked Mommy to deal with it because he can not take the smell of vomit at all. All this happens when we have nowhere to pull over and a 6:00pm follow up to the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. So instead of going directly to the doctor we now had to go home, clean CJ up and then stuff her into her old car seat. (Which is much smaller and come on, who has a spare?) Please remember there was an ice storm looming. We get to the doctor's office to be met by his assistant who tells us that he was called into the hospital. Daddy is just like, just my luck. Mommy is fuming and wanted to know why he would schedule visits when he knew he was on call. Daddy now knows to call before we walk out the door next time.
Now to Tuesday night, Mommy begins to feel ill. Daddy had already planned to stay home with CJ because Mommy had done so before. The only problem was that the girl was not acting sick. She was eating and yapping her mouth two things she does all the time. Daddy even told her, "You better act sick if I have to stay home." Then we begin to look out the window and the precipitation began to fall. We all go to sleep and Mommy gets a call that school is closed and Daddy received a call telling him to bring his behind to work. They did give Daddy an extra two hours.
It is now Thursday morning and we run late because Mommy wanted to reenact what CJ did in the car. Daddy say's, "OMG!" He really thinks MOmmy should stay at home but she decided otherwise. She is stubborn. Sadly, she spent most of the day in the bathroom and sounded horrible when Daddy spoke to her. So now Daddy has to play decoy so Mommy can get rest and CJ does not get sick again. Touch task when CJ is just like her Mommy, stubborn. We do manage to have Daddy/Daughter bath time and CJ went right to sleep.
This morning Mommy reluctantly and painfully stayed home. It was best for her. Cj and Daddy prayed with her and departed. On the ride home CJ really missed her Mommy, she kept calling for her. In the Shop Rite, yes CJ's favorite store she spoke to the other customers. She is such a social and polite child. One lady behind us in line could not believe she was one and a half and talking so much. Daddy said, "Too much!" We left the store and made our way home. Daddy was able to manage his stuff along with CJ and all the bags. He does not see how Mommy does it. He was pooped when he reached the top of the stairs but Mommy and CJ both have all they need.
Daddy has prepared CJ's bag for tomorrow and she is asleep a this moment. Daddy/Daughter Hangout Day tomorrow. Breakfast at IHOP and then who knows what else. Just please pray for Mommy to get healthy, CJ to remain healthy, and Daddy not to get sick. Also pray for God to continue making a way for the Johnson's of Old Bridge. In our home we believe that prayer changes things, people, and situations. We fit every category!
