Happy Fourth!!

Today was a really lazy day to be perfectly honest. We ate ribs and BBQ and laid around the house. Cayle went swimming and I took pictures of him. Around 6 ish Cayle and I played with sparklers and poppers waiting for it to get dark. And late tonight we shot off a bunch of fireworks. And I got to mark an item off my bucket list by lighting a firework myself!! Cayle really seemed to like the colors and lights, but he didn't care too much for the explosion part of it. He sat in my lap with his ears covered. And a bottle rocket misfired and almost hit me. That's one way to 'see the light'.

An update. I'm taking my State Board Exams July 31st. I'm scared to death. I'm also getting 8 extra hours on my check next week by covering a shift for the other receptionist. Lord knows I need the money. I need the help. I also set up Cayle's toddler bed to try to get him used to it for when it's time to switch. He's trying to climb out occasionally. Daddy and I were also talking about Cayle getting ready for school today..and he said he needs to go to a private school. I told him there was no way in hell I could afford that. He offered to pay for it. I don't know how I feel about all that. I'm the mom I should pay for Cayle's wants and needs. That I didn't want to end up like my dead beat sister (which apparently my words of wisdom didn't hit home because she's still doing the same crap). I don't know. I have a while to think about it. So I guess we'll see..I also got some more house stuff last week. I also had a gift card to Khols and stepped out of my comfort zone majorly and bought a summer dress. First time I've worn anything but jeans during Summer in a very long time.
