I am so thankful.

Daddy really does spoil me rotten. It's not often we get to spend time together but when we get to I love it. Earlier this week, Daddy was sitting on the couch with me and he said "You know what.? Mom and Garrett (my brother) got new shoes and we haven't. Why don't we go get us some new shoes this weekend.?" I got a pair of sandals for school. Very trendy right now. They're gladiator sandals. And I got a pair of black and pink new balance shoes for walking. They are soooo comfy. And really cute which is weird because normally I hate tennis shoes. Daddy even gave me 60 dollars for some new tops. I don't know where I should go, but they need to be...hairstylist-y. LOL. I like my word. Cayle got his very first hair cut today. I saved some of his hair in a ziploc bag and put it in his baby book. So that's another thing crossed off my list. There was maybe about half an inch to an inch in some places. It's curlier than ever. Its still long, but it looks kept. Which is great. I teared up a little, but he did really well. No crying. Just curiosity.I posted before and after. The side of his head is the after picture. So not too much hair was gone. After his hair cut, we went to visit Adam and his family. I brought his grandparents some bbq and chicken and stuff from our cookout. They enjoyed it. Tomorrow they have their cook out and I get to visit with everyone. My cook out went kinda okay kinda not. Daddy had some people from work over..and they simply have no respect or common sense. This one guy ticked me off. I had Cayle down at our pool splashing on the steps and Daddy and this guy (I don't remember his name..I think it's Doug.) were sitting at the table by the pool talking..and Doug was cussing kinda loud around Cayle. "This guy down at the hall won't do his d-mn job. His work is sh-tty" Etc. Etc. Cayle is three feet away. Not only that he's smoking a cigar around Cayle. It smells awful for one and two baby's lungs DO NOT need exposure like that. Don't get me wrong, people can smoke if they want to, I have no right to say you can or can't, but please have the common courtesy to not do it around my child..and when he starts coughing be kind enough to move. But Doug did not catch on and continued to curse in conversation and puff away on that thing. So I got Cayle and took him inside. And what do you know.? Doug comes in minutes later to use the restroom..and leaves the seat up. I'm sorry, pet peeve, but not only is that nasty..but it's bad manners. I told my mom I was offended. She said I should just let it go. She brushed it off like it was nothing. I told Dad about it today while we were out, and he was kind enough to listen and understand where I was coming from. Today while I was out I also managed to find 2 bottles of shatter nail polish. I got baby blue and white. It's pretty cool. They now have red shatter so I'll be hunting for that before too long. Adam is moving out on Wednesday. Into a place with some friends from work. Its a town home and rent split..he will pay 230 a month. That's not too bad, but bills add up. He said I can stay with him when my parents leave for vacation. I hate being alone in this house. I get scared easily. I'll still wake up alone, but I'll just go on to school and to run my errands. We are going to six flags July 6th. That's a Wednesday. We'll leave Tuesday night and grab a hotel room, and hit the park the next day. I conjured up a list of things that would be useful to have on this trip. Granted, we'll be gone only one night, but I like to prepare and be prepared. The list looks a bit like this

-bottled waters
-band aids & first aid items (you never know)
-beach towels
-sun screen spf 100 :)
-toiletries
-mini cooler
-non perishable snacks (debbie cakes, crackers, etc..)
-extra clothes
-gps system & charger (daddy has one I can borrow)
-extra money and I.D.'s.
-cell phone chargers
-camera & charger
-hand sanitizer
-some source of entertainment for hotel.

Am I forgetting anything.? It would be better if I wrote it down. I probably will once I get a chance. I would like a new pair of pajamas or two for staying at Adam's and the trip. I don't have any cute ones lol. I'll go to walmart. They're cheap and cute. It really helped me out that Daddy took me shoe shopping today. I won't have to struggle to get a pair. I'm very thankful to have a Daddy who does these things for me. I enjoy taking a step back and seeing how blessed I am. Remember my list of goals.? Here is the revised verison. Goals with dashes (-) beside them have been completed. Goals with stars (*) are in the process.

As you can see, I'm still pretty busy, but it's a good busy and it keeps me going. I need to add 'save for six flags trip' on there. I have about 60 some odd dollars saved up. I'm almost there. I need 150. I'm almost half way. I'm pretty excited. Things are good.
