Just Highlights

Due to the late hour and the bunch of work Daddy has to do tonight and get rest you will only get highlights of the day.

CJ and Daddy had Saturday breakfast as usual.

Daddy and CJ were able to see both the TCNJ Women's and Men's basketball team lose today. Making shots was a problem. CJ cheered for the wrong team but as Mommy said maybe she just wanted to support the winners.

CJ visited the sitter and got her hair done.

Daddy and Mommy bough their own toothpaste no more using CJ's.

Keep us in prayer, as always prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Testing

OK, CJ is really beginning to test her luck. No is not just her favorite word but she is catching tantrums along with it. It is very lear that she is aware of what she is doing so Daddy is acting accordingly. CJ seems to have developed a real fiesty attitude when she does not get her way. Recently Daddy has found himself having to lay down the law more often. CJ must learn right from wrong and how to listento her parents or fear having a miserable life.
Discipline will always be tough for me. I will always
pray that I have a level head and that I alway am
teaching through discipline. Daddy wants CJ to mature positively and not develop any resentment towards her
Daddy. So keep us in prayer. We know prayer changes things, people, and situations.

NOTE TO CJ: Understand the decisions you make. Follow the directives taught to you and you will not have to be discipline in a negative way. Daddy wants you to have self-discipline which is the best discipline of all. I Love You!

Pass The Time Away

Tonight we needed to accomplish two things. Get Daddy a haircut and get Mommy to the doctor. Poor CJ had to endure it all.We had to wait for a guy to get his hair dyed which took longer than we anticipated. Once we were done we had to make the bank which we were successful in doing. What sucked up the entire not was Mommys trip to the doctor. CJ and Daddy wasted time by shopping and when we could not waste anymore time went back to pick up Mommy. We waited for a good half hour, which was not to bad.

We are all home and CJ is sleeping. Daddy is wasting precious moments watching Jersey Shore. Pray for Daddy, prayer chanhes things, people, and situations.

The X-Ray

Well Daddy got his wish and the job was closed today. That meant a day home with his Princess and lovely wife. So the day started as any day we are home would with Daddy and CJ awake and Mommy sleeping. Daddy prepared breakfast for CJ and himself. Eggs, corn beef hash, and grits with cheddar cheese. The meal was scrumptuous too. CJ had a scheduled appointment for 5:45pm today for an X-Ray. Mommy thought to ask if we could get it moved up since the snow was really not that bad. So Daddy called and we were able to have the appointment pushed up four hours. This allowed us to relax some more.

CJ was taller than the normal child so the technician needed to adjust the machinery for her. Since CJ is so observant it took her a while to get focused for the x-ray. Both Mommy and Daddy needed to get involved. Once we were finished CJ wanted to talk to the old guy in the waiting area. Daddy told Mommy that the "do not talk to strangers" conversation will have to be very detailed for CJ.

Next up is back to the Ear Nose and Throat specialist to see if CJ will need surgery or not. Keep praying for her. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations.

What A Blow!

Today was going well until we received some breathtaking news. You would think that Daddy leaving CJ's medicine at work in the refrigerator would be a blow enough, especially since Daddy would possibly have to drive back to Trenton for the second time in a day because CJ really needs it. However that was the least of our worries today. As we left the babysitter's house she asked to speak with Mommy. So CJ and Daddy proceeded to the car. When Mommy joined us Daddy asked if everything was OK? That is when Mommy dropped the bomb on us. She told Daddy that the babysitter just informed her that she would be moving to Atlanta at the end of the school year. This news crushes us as a family. CJ is comfortable with the sitter, Mommy and Daddy are comfortable, the sitter loves CJ and we were looking forward to CJ being with her until it was time to start school. Many thoughts go through Daddy's mind, the one thought that jumped out was how he wished Mommy was able to stay home. With that not being the situation Mommy and Daddy discussed some possible scenarios. The first, however, was to leave it in God's hands.

So as Daddy and Mommy sat awestruck, CJ sat in the back with a bad cough. Daddy was a bit concerned too. On the ride home Daddy called the pharmacy to see if they could give him two doses of the medicine CJ needed. They said they could not, but if the doctor called, they could refill the prescription. So then Daddy called the doctor's office and asked if they could make that call. They obliged, but the insurance company would not cover it, so Daddy had to pay out of pocket. No problem because what CJ needs, CJ gets. Now that would have changed if the out of pocket costs were more than a tank of gas. Daddy would have driven down to campus in Trenton and gotten the medicine.

So we still are in a bit of shock but God will send us another blessing and we will be OK. We just pray that the babysitter will be OK as well. So tonight as we pray, we pray for her. We know that prayer will change her situation. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
