Daddy Daycare

Well when you take vacation from work if you truly want to have a vacation, do not open a daycare center in which you do not get paid. I really love my Princess but daycare is not in my future plans. CJ, as all 15 months olds, do not listen. They hear you and then choose whether or not they will follow what you say or continue doing the wrong they are in the midst of. Now do not get me wrong she does not do anything life threatening but CJ likes to live on the edge. On the edge of the wall, on the edge of the couch, on the edge of the horse, or anything else that will provide her with a thrill.

So you, as does Daddy, spend most of your day trying to keep yourself sane, therefore you do not try to accomplish much. Instead you get down and dirty with her. I guess I will soon be sitting at the table having tea and krimpets. I pray she selects butterscotch as her flavor to serve.

With the morning past us CJ and her Daddy enjoyed a great afternoon. CJ, as usual, spoke to everyone she saw. The good thing is that most of the people responded to her. Previously we ran into some real jerks. They would look her in the face, hear her speak to them, and say nothing. In my Stephanie Tanner voice, "How rude!" CJ grabbed a cute little dress for her so I guess that meant I had to purchase it and Daddy did. After we picked up Mommy we ran a few more errands and came home to eat pizza together as a family.

It is about 9:33pm and you all know what is happening now. CJ is yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs because she does not want to go to sleep. I know the feeling and wish the day had more hours but it does not. So folks let's get this bedtime scene on the prayer list. We know prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Oh, CJ!

Well this morning when Daddy woke up he knew he had a marathon in front of him. Three worship experiences, 8am, 11am, and 4pm. He stared the day and the face and welcomed it though because he knew it would be three opportunities to celebrate God! The bad thing about all of this was that Daddy had to run this marathon alone. He would have no CJ to keep him going and no Mommy to go to sleep on him along the way. Mommy made the decision to pull out of the race earlier in the weekend because she felt CJ would break away from the course and make the race more grueling than it had to be.

So Daddy set out on his race and he must say all stages of the race were filled with great air. At all of the worship experiences God showed out! The word from the preachers was just what the doctor ordered. So while at the house for dinner, (the house refers to Daddy's childhood home, where is family still resides) Cj's great-grandmother wanted to make sure she sent CJ a treat. She prepared CJ an entire bag of grapes and of course she saw to it that Mommy had her weekly servings of macaroni and cheese.

When Daddy arrived home he found CJ looking a mess. She had just a shirt on and food all over her face. She had tore up the house and looked for something else to get into. CJ is a very funny child, so she saw me eating sherbert and she wanted some so she came over and leaned over my cup. I asked her to sit down and she did so immediately. I then shared and then she decided she wanted it at a faster rate than I could supply. I had to back her little butt up and send her on her way.

The night is ending with her fighting sleep of course. It is not as bad as usual but she is doing her nightly fussing. SO she rest now for the day tomorrow. What does Daddy have in store for her? We shall see if it be God's will! So, it seems as if I have not said this to you all in a long time but, Keep praying! Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Note to CJ: These last few weeks have been very trying for Daddy. When the going gets tough we remain prayed up as we do daily and we continue to let God fight our battles. That way we know we can not lose.

Not Much To Say

Will fill you in tomorrow. Not much popped off tonight.

Emergency Off Day

So CJ was missing in action from the sitter today. Daddy woke up with all things normal and then Mommy decided she was not going into work today. Daddy was a little bitter because he was up and could have slept a bit longer. The crazy event of the morning was that the baby sitter was never called. Mommy asked me to do so but she never heard that I could not because I did not have the number. So Daddy left the house and went off to work to leave both Mommy and CJ home for the day. When they both knew full well they should be where they normally are each morning, at work and at the sitter.

When I arrived home the living room looked as if CJ had run wild all day long. The highlight was when CJ made her way to her Daddy when he hit the top of the stairs. She said, Hi Da Da," and then grabbed my legs as I tried to proceed into the house. I told Mommy that she should take notes from CJ on how to greet him when he arrives home from work. She then wanted to watch television with her Daddy so we both sprawled out on the floor and got comfy and watched the Cosby Show together. There is no better to way to cap off a long day than with my little princess. You all keep praying that my schedule continues to allow Daddy and CJ these opportunities. We know it is 100% true that prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Got To Keep At It

These past few days have been very challenging when it comes to blogging. Daddy desires to blog daily and it seems like long days and tricky computers have prevented me from doing so. This evening we took CJ to the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. CJ was strong as usual and we now have to get X-rays of her neck. Once we get those we will then learn whether or not CJ will have to have surgery or not. For her to be so young and have to possibly do something Daddy has never done is pretty interesting. I thought I would be a bit worried but I am OK and eager to see the outcome.

At the home from we had a pretty normal night. We arrived home, had dinner, CJ was bathed, and now her and Mommy are sleep. So all is well on the Old Bridge front. You all pray that whatever CJ will happen in her life. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

PROFOUND

I had something great but the PC whited out.
