This blog will chronicle the journey between a new father and his daughter. It will highlight the ups and the downs, and all the lessons learned. It is my prayer that "C.J. and Me" will be an inspiration to all that the bond between father and daughter can be strong. It will also show the world that there are REAL men who help develop stellar women who will go on and shake up the world. Enjoy the journey and look daily to see what new and exciting things are going on in our lives!

All or Nothing
Tonight it is all about Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Daddy and CJ's team the Lakers must win to be the champions. We have a lot at stake. We do not want to endure the pain an jeering that will come with a Laker loss. I just wish it was under better conditions. Daddy is battling a fever, Mommy made CJ go to sleep. If Daddy were well he would have put up a fight but he just let it go. Right now the game is up and down and I am very uneasy. Hopefully tings will change for the better, of course for LA.
I was well earlier but after 5:00pm it seems as though the fever said, "Hello Sir." So I ate some soup for dinner and have been filling up with water. i took my medication and now I am trying to sweat it all out. I have a slight headache now so maybe the tie game is good so I would not get to excited.
So now with a half left in the Finals I will go back to the game now. You all pray for Daddy tonight, pray for healing. We know prayer changes things, people, and situations!
NOTE TO C.J.: Princess I do not know how the game will end up right now, our team needs to shoot a lot better. I will whisper the outcome to you if we win. if we lose I am sure you will hear about it loud and clear at the babysitter's house tomorrow morning.

Midway Recap
Good afternoon folks. I am feeling a lot better today. I am not back to 100% but the process is coming a long nicely. Today I was able to enjoy an entire day alone. I literally did nothing all day long. Of course I watched Maury and read Mediatakeout.com, but other than that I sat in the house and relaxed. I needed a day like this. i am sure most of you can understand that.
Mommy called a few times, I guess she was bored at work and hating on the fact that I was home a little bit. Daddy was not rude though, he spoke with Mommy and listened to her as long as she wanted him too. When she was tired of talking to me it was her who decided to hang up, this was on both calls too. CJ went to the sitter, and it was not until the end of the day when we picked her up that Daddy noticed she had on the wrong colors. She is wearer Celtic green on Game Seven day of the NBA 2010 Finals. Not to worry Daddy has on his 2009 Championship shirt bringing about that true Laker spirit. Tonight is going to be one of the best games in NBA history and I hope the outcome is favorable to my side! A Laker Repeat is what daddy desires.
So now Cj and Daddy are hanging out a little earlier than usual today. Mommy is at the salon getting all dolled up. Daddy looks like a black wolf, he will tackle that problem tomorrow. he can not go around representing CJ in that manner. Right now I am watching her entertain herself with some of the toys and educational games she has. I am watching to see how she operates and handles them all. Looking at that hand eyes coordination and her frustration levels. She is doing OK at this point too. I was also elected by arbitrary decision of Mommy to prepare her bag for tomorrow. The bottles are already washed and I am about to refill her food supply. I do not want anything to get in the way of the game tonight so I am handling all fatherly responsibilities now.
So I must go to get things done but I did want to follow up from my short post last night. thank you for your prayers and keep praying. It really does change things, people,and situations! Talk to you all later tonight.

Confined To The Car
Well I guess Daddy and C.J. needed some quality time together. I think we both would have appreciated the time much more if we were not stuck in the truck for about two and a half hours. Today Mommy had to go to the doctor's, a routine check up people, do not worry. The thing is that we had to go to another office and drive a little further from home. This meant that C.J. would get restless and Daddy would be left alone to deal with her.
For the first part of the wait, Daddy kept the truck running to keep the cool air in the car. C.J. slept, but we did not need her to sleep for too long. After a while Daddy opened the windows and shut the car off. He began to do some work for the upcoming week, and then noticed a swarm of gnats. Immediately he put the windows back up and turned the air on, but C.J. was awake and it was about her time to eat. So I moved the car, then changed her, and prepared her bottle and watched her eat.
Then Daddy became annoyed and bothered, and C.J. began to cry. I have self diagnosed ADHD and I can not be in the same place for too long. So I just began to drive. I did not have a clue where I was going, but I had to go somewhere other than that lot with no scenery. We drove for about ten minutes, and then came back to get Mommy. We arrived home much later than usual and Daddy has a headache so he will call it a blog early tonight and try to get through Game 6. We did the best we could in the car, played, cried and got frustrated together. So as you pray tonight pray for Daddy and his headache and pray for the Lakers! We know prayer changes things, people, and situations!

The Aftermath
The weekend came to an end and the work we is a day old. The question is, how did CJ do? Well this morning we had sometime to spare so I put a barrette in her hair that matched her outfit. You heard correctly people, Daddy does hair. So this morning of course we were running late. Monday's are very difficult to get going after along weekend. Nevertheless we all got out to our different destinations. CJ back to the sitter who was happy to have her back, Mommy to work, and Daddy was back at his hour and then some long commute.
Mommy sent me a text midway the morning to tell me that CJ was doing fine. That was music to my ears I was a little worried about her. I prayed that she would be back to herself after her bout with an illness and she is back to about 90%, if you would ask me. The only thing that made today unbearable was the fact that CJ and I had to deal with the bashing of the Lakers. Everyone wants them to lose so when the sitter knew Daddy would be there she made sure to remind me that we are done if we do not win on Tuesday night.
CJ and I did share a dance this evening. We had the music playing and Daddy decided to cut the rug with his princess and she accepted my hand. We danced around to "I'll Write A Song For You" by Daddy's favorite band, Earth, Wind and Fire. Mommy took some pictures as Daddy and CJ sung to each other and CJ whistled a bit to the tune. Finally we urged Mommy to join us. Daddy loves these special moments and always has a twinkle in his eye thanking God for the blessing he has given him in CJ Johnson. So I am going to call it quits for tonight. You all make sure you pray. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!
