I'm really into early planning and being prepared for what's to come. So I want to get a start on planning Cayle's birthday party.
As far as a theme, Cayle has really gotten into pirates. He watches a lot of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. And sometimes he calls me "Pirate Mommy" so what better way embrace that than a pirate birthday party/ Neverland Pirates party? I really enjoyed the venue I booked last year, but I am considering having the party at my house this year and renting a bouncy house in the shape of a Pirate ship. Cayle's parties aren't very big since I'm not close with my extended family and working at Regis killed my social life I don't have many friends anymore. And as far as food goes Daddy has volunteered to be King Of The Grill and do burgers and hot dogs.
Having the party at my house would cut the cost down a bit and with the leftover money I would like to take Cayle to Gatlinburg for a weekend. Just the two of us. It would be our first trip together. We could stay in a little cottage for $75 a night and maybe go to the aquarium or museums or something. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. We may even be able to find something a little cheaper. But it'll be fun if I can pull it off!
I have a lot of expenses coming up within the next 5-7 months with the holidays and birthdays and festivities I hope I can pull it all off. If I prep now I know I can. :)

You can't keep this girl down.
Guess who found a new job? This girl. That trailer trash lady (her salon is in a trailer) who turned me down after 3 weeks is losing one hell of a stylist. I may not be the best out there but I have a passion and drive to where I won't quit. This salon is called Flip Hair Studio. It's much nicer than where I was. I get Sundays and Mondays off. I can even take a Saturday every now and then if I want one. I get 60% of my service sales. They even pay me to shampoo and style their clients. I can sell whatever retail I want. I can keep all of that money. I can use any product lines I want. I can wear whatever I want. I can make my own hours. They let me promote myself any way I want. Which is awesome! Everyone is pretty nice. I think it was a blessing in disguise to be let go after 3 weeks at the other place. The best thing I can do now is promote myself and get my finances built back up.
I've been thinking a lot about the future for Cayle and myself. And I've come to the realization that if I keep doing the same things I won't get to where I want to be. So my plan is to rebuild my savings account (from job hopping it was completely shot) and really try to get everything ready and stable so Cayle and I can be on our own one day. I couldn't stand Regis salon another day. Even though it was steady pay, for one thing it wasn't enough for what I want to do with my life, my boss screwed me over, and I need to be in a place like where I am now so I can be there for my son. All the money in the world can't stop me from being a mommy. That's always going to be my most important job. At work I am going to give my 200% effort into everything. With clients, helping out around the salon, to self marketing. I really want this place to work so I can be a family with my son.
I've also thought about my physical being. How I want to be healthy and in shape for not only myself but for Cayle. It's not good for him to see me indulge in unhealthy habits such as fast food, drinking sodas like there's no tomorrow, and bumming on the couch when it's too nice outside to be indoors. I have never been a summer lover. I hate it to be completely honest. I much rather prefer Autumn where I can step outside and feel crisp cool air on my face and a feeling of comfort consumes me. But whether I want it or not..Summer is here so I think it's best if I try to embrace it. Enjoy things like fireworks and festivals and play time with Cayle in the yard. So with all of this being said I want to try to embrace some healthier habits. Drink more water, pack a healthy lunch, spend some time outside with Cayle. In the end it'll pay off. And by Autumn hopefully some weight will have dropped and I can get some nice outfits for Fall. Being in this new place..all the girls come to work looking very polished and definitely more my taste so I'm definitely going to have to step up my game in the fashion department. I wear dresses but it's definitley not enough.
So game plan is to build finances, clientele, drop some weight, and go at it with guns blazing!!
