First Week of Work

I started work Monday at 8:15 am and ended at 3:30 pm, but that isn't my normal day. On Tuesday I started mt normal day at 5 am and ended at 3:30 pm. I now work from 5 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Which is nice because I get a three day weekend. I like getting to work early because you get the rest of the day to do what you want. I was tired all week this week though because I wasn't used to getting up that early. Yesterday I came home and fell asleep with Trey at around 4. When he woke me up an hour later I took him downstairs where Brad was and I crashed on the couch in our living room. Then Brad kept trying to get me to go to bed with him around 8:30 and I kept talking to him about work in my sleep. I thought it was funny. Then I kept falling back to sleep on the couch so Brad picked me up and carried me to the bedroom and put me to bed. Then I had to pee and I asked him if he could carry me to the bathroom as we both laughed. He said now there are no more stops. Only from the couch to the bed. We are all out of bathroom trips. I didn't even wake up when Trey cried. Brad had to get up with him. I was so out of it last night. All because of waking up at 3:45 am, so that we can get to work a little early. We have to be at our stations AT 5. That means we have to get all of our ESD equipment on. Such as our feet straps, and ESD safe smock. ESD stands for electric static discharge. The reason we have to wear ESD safe equipment is because if we touched a circuit board without wearing this equipment, it would burn the board. When we get to our station we also have a cord to plug our self into so that we are grounded. That is also what our foot straps do with out feet. You know how when you walk across the floor and then you touch something and you get shocked? That's ESD. Which will not happen when I wear those straps. The smock that we wear do the same thing with our clothing. We all wear the same color, blue. I wish that there where pink smocks for girls if they would rather wear pink.... I know I would say that but it is true. We also get ESD coffee cups and water bottles.The water bottles are blue too. when she handed Brad a water bottle I asked her if girls got pink and she said no I wish there were more of a verity of colors. I do too. Everyone is blue there. I would like orange and pink too. I love those two colors.

My first day there was kinda crazy. I swear EVERYONE was starring at me!!! Then every guy that was around my age introduced there self. The next day this guy, I don't remember his name. came up to me and said there are a couple of guys that asked me to come over here and ask you what your name is, how old you are, and how long you have been here. I said my name is Summer, I and 19, I have a fiance and a 1 year old son. You can tell them that. He said ok I will. He is the one that makes the parts for our line. He came back and said they are a little disappointed but that's alright. There was also a guy that didn't work Monday that works second shift that started talking to me when I was getting ready to leave. Brad works in the same building as me and I told him what happened. He was like who wants to know? I said I don't know and I don't care. I told them I was with you anyways. I told him not to make a scene. The next day the guy that asked me the questions asked me if the guy I was walking with was my fiance. I said yes and he just walked away. Then yesterday there was a girl that was temporarily working on my line asked me if I was naturally a dirty blond. I laughed a little bit and said no. I am a Bernette. She said that I looked like a dirty blond. That kinda made me feel good because I highlight my hair and It looks natural. That makes me feel real good actually. That also means that the person that did my hair did a good job as well. I told her how I wanted it foiled, which way I wanted them foiled, and where I wanted them foiled, but she was the one that did it. I probably am not the best person when it comes to doing my hair because I want it a certain way. I am somewhat picky. The reason I say somewhat is because she made the color bleed but didn't make her fix it.

Also Trey is now hiding to go to the bathroom. He doesn't want anyone to see him push. He is so funny.

Leaf Week

This whole week Brad had to go to work and I had to stay home. I needed something to occupy my time. So I cleaned up the yard. Ya I clean the house all the time but sometimes you need a change of scenery, plus it was nice most of the week. Bridget and I have been trying to clean up the yard since we have moved in. We had 8 months of work to do to the yard. The person that was supposed to take care of the ward mowed up dog toys so there where parts of dog toys to clean up, plus TONS of leaves that were never raked. We have so many trees around they should have cleaned them up to show the house. We took out 12, 32 gallon bags out of the front yard 2 months ago and there are still more leaves in the front yard. We also took 20, 32 gallon bags of leaves out of the back yard yesterday and we still have more leaves to rake up. Yesterday we finally put up our outdoor bar together. The movers where supposed to do it along with Ron and Bridget's desk. They kept complaining because movers that loaded the truck didn't put numbers on it or directions to put it together. Then they saw the bar and started complaining again so we told them that we would put it together. So we FINALLY put it together yesterday. It was a pain in the butt. We also put our tent thing over it. Trey loves it. He has his own little tent tough. It is only tall enough for him tom stand up and wide enough for both of us to sit in there. He loves to crawl in and out of it all the time.

Today we cleaned up the shed and raked most of the yard. We haven't bagged them yet so we don't know how many we are going to add to the collection.

This is random but I have been wanting to put pictures of Trey's room on here. I painted it but I still have a few touch ups here and there. But I will put pictures on here. I am going to redo his closet in a couple of months. I hate his closet right now because the are two tiny little shelves above his curtain rod. I can't put anything on them at all. I am going to make it VERY nice.

Also today we went to Wal-Mart to get Trey's WIC vultures and he started trowing a fit and when he did I saw a molar on the right side of his mouth. I was so excited. He hasn't even got the second set of teeth on the bottom yet. I knew they would be coming in soon because it was getting flat and he was chewing on his finger on both sides. Brad told my mom that we planned on trying to conceive. She didn't say much she kept agreeing with everything Brad said about wanting another one and and how we want them 2 years apart and so on.

Walking Master

For the past month Trey has been walking backwards and walking in circles backwards. I showed him one day I could walk backward. I didn't think he would pick if up now. I guess he thinks since he has "mastered" walking forward he can walk backward. I have also been skipping around the house every once in a while so he can see what that is. I know he wont be doing that for a while, but I didn't think he would walk backward now either. He is so funny, he is a really fast learner. If you show him something he usually picks it up the first time. He learned how to work the CD play but now he takes DVDs out of the DVD player on us now. He also LOVES turning off the TV because when the TV is on the button is green and he loves buttons. Especially if the light up.

Finally

On Brad's lunch I got a worried call. He was moved from the Harris Charleston building to the Harris Culver building. He didn't know what was going on or why they were moving him. They didn't tell him anything. They just told him that he was going to be in the Culver building starting Monday. He didn't know if he was doing a bad job, a good job or anything. He still doesn't quite know. He was really worried that we where going to be in separate buildings and so was I. We had told the recruiter that we wanted to work in the same building and the same hours so we can drive together. We where for sure we where going to split up. Then Brad called our recruiter and told her what was going on and she was just as confused. About an hour later my recruiter called me and told me that I was going to be going to work in the Culver building on Monday. I was so excited and relieved at the same time because I have not yet started and I wanted to get to work soon because we need money to pay bills. They don't pay themselves. Ya we got paid during training but when you have to buy diapers, wipes, soup, shampoo and conditioner, gas, and whatever else household item you need that adds up. I didn't even add in car payments, insurance, phone bill, and miscellanies bills. You can't pay all that with 1 weeks check. We can with this weeks check though. We where getting paid $7.50 during training. Not enough to live on right now. I can't wait until we both start bringing in money. Then we will have tons of money left over and we can "afford" another baby.

I can't wait to have another one.... I love being a mom, although it isn't always easy. I want to get my tubes tied after the next one but Brad keeps telling me that that isn't a good idea. He said what if we decide to have another. I said the only way I will have another child after I have the next one is if we have twins. I want to have an even amount of kids to eliminate the middle child. Plus I want an even amount of kids. If I end up only having Trey I would be just as happy. He is my world. I would give my up my life if it meant to keep him safe. But I need to but this tired little but to bed.

Babies

I have know for a LONG time I have wanted two kids. One boy and One girl... The thing is I think four years is a little to far apart. Some of my friends are having there second child. I know you shouldn't do what everyone else is doing and so on, blah blah blah. The other thing people say are you aren't ready yet... WHEN ARE YOU READY??? No one is really ready when you have a child, you need to expect the unexpected... I have Medicaid right now. They will cover me for a year. If I get pregnant they will extend it to six weeks after the baby is born. I will be fully covered and everything will be taken care of. Bridget is all for it because She thinks it would be better if we where on Medicaid while I had the baby. She also said we are already in baby mode. We don't want to get out of it and have to try to get back in it. The last thing she said was that she is getting older. She said that it a workout keeping up with Trey and she would rather have a baby now while she still has the energy to play with them. I also think it is a good idea that way we can get rid off all the baby stuff at once. Right now we are saving everything for the next baby but if we have the next one now we can have a garage sale next summer or whatever. I am looking forward to having another baby though... I miss how little Trey was and I can't wait to have a little one again. I am hoping for a girl but if I have a boy I have everything for him so I don't care either way.... If I'm not supposed to have another one now god won't let it happen but hopefully he will give me my girl.... He gave me my boy first... I am not looking forward to being sick all the time though...

Twilight

I have been wanting to watch Twilight for a while. When we went to Blockbuster last week when we checked out they asked if we wanted to put a $5 deposit on Twilight for the 21st. I said no I will get it when I get it. When we went to Blockbuster the Thursday before the 21st, which was a Saturday all the cardboard movies placer were there. On 4 of them there were a movie case that said rent Saturday. I was kinda upset because I knew I wasn't going to be able to see it for a while. I also thought that it would be sold out and people probably waited in line for the movie at Wal-Mart. Then on Saturday Brad had mentioned going to see if there were any left. I told him there was no use. That is when he said we can rent it off the TV. I said if they have it on there. IT WAS I WAS SO EXCITED!! Brad has good ideas that work sometimes. lol. Just kidding. I LOVED the movie. It was as good as they ramp and rave about. I would buy the movie. I would watch it again. I wish that a couple of things were different in the movie such as the ending...

Professional Hair Care

In Rochester there is no Malay's. I don't like sally's for hair color. I doesn't turnout the way Redken does. I have been searching forever for a place that sells professional products. When Brad and I went to fill out paper work to start working our recruiter told me her roots aren't usually that bad. She also told me that her stylist had canceled on her twice. I told her that I had been looking for a place that sold professional products. That is when she told me about a professional place in Henrietta. Henrietta in part of Rochester like Greece, which is where we live.

We met this girl in class that has never had steak in her life but once, five months ago. She said that it want that good. We asked her where she had the steak she said Red Lobster. I said that's the problem. Then I told her that she needed to come over this weekend and have a real steak cooked on the grill!! I have been wanting to finish cleaning the yard for the past week but I didn't feel like doing it after I get out of class. So I hopefully get it done today.
