Jerry Springer....

Brett bought an antenna hoping to pick up some local channels, but no luck. There was one station that came in with sound but had a really fuzzy colored picture...it was FOX. So here is what my day consisted of as far as the TV goes....

Mike and Julie show-- only saw the end, but the guest was the DOG Whisperer
Judge Joe -- something about suing someone else.
Divorce Court -- some spouse accusing the other spouse of cheating
Some other kind of court show about some other kind of court thing
Jerry Springer -- Ugh something about i cheated on you with your brother and have no shame in it and ill do it again and again and again....
MAURY -- paternity test results...
Two and a Half Men-- something about a new neighbor and what brother gets her

And then after that I don't remember. I couldn't even see anything, but the noise was comforting. .... ha ha

Happy Mother's day to me....

Our days here have been long, but they're turning out to be good. Brett is gone on Saturdays from 9 am to about 10:30 pm, so those suck for him but it makes Sundays a sweet release. Yesterday, they had a BBQ for all the APX guys at the park and it was a beautiful day....we are definitely learning to appreciate family time out here. Brett is getting the hang of selling and has made quite a few so far as to catch up with everyone else, so his confidence is slowly building. It is going to be a long 16 weeks....but a good 16 weeks.
So my mother's day gift has come a few days early and is spread out over a four months span....its CABLE!! Woo Hoo! haha The cable and internet are mostly for my benefit since I never leave the house but Brett threw in the DVR for him so he can record the shows he misses (i.e. House....American Idol....LOST...etc) I know it is pathetic that I am so excited about it and want it so bad, but I find it is hard to pass a 14 hour day without your husband and a clingy baby. They guy gets here tomorrow to install....not soon enough!! haha

Sunday at the park.....

Bored

Did I ever mentioned how bored i am out here? I am sure I have....enough to put up two blogs in one day for sure....
Here are some pictures of where we are living. Don't mind the mess and I'll have to get you pictures of the bed and bath later...when they're cleaner haha.
The first picture is what is currently above our little fire place. Our walls are so white and we can't really hang anything up that requires a hole in the wall, so I just bought some removable tic-tac and put some of our scrapbook pictures all over the walls of our house. The third and forth pics are are view from our big dining room window. That's right, we live on a private golf course. Even now someone is teeing off...haha
And here is Adalie in her new summer booster seat. She loves and I love it! It folds up so way easier than the big high chairs and I just strap it to a regular chair.....i really love the person who invented it....It comes with her own little table attachment thingy like most normal ones and when she gets to toddler age-ish it turns to a booster.....good buy! She feels like such a big girl in it!!

Ladybugs, Cops, and Brownies

So i have noticed a lady bug or two in my house every now and then. Most of the time they are dead, but I have found two alive. I guess I should be grateful they're not roaches, but I am dreading the day Adalie finds one and decides to eat it.
Yesterday was another fun day for Brett. He got caught by the same cop yesterday as he did the day before. The cop asked to see Brett's selling license again (which brett had another photocopy of such) and when he gave it to him, the policeman just crumpled it up and said "This is garbage, you need to get your butt back to your car and get out of here, otherwise I am going to arrest you!". We're still a little confused on what he would get arrested for, and the cop didn't even say what, but Brett stopped and called his manager. Well, about half an hour later his manager gives him a call back and tells him that he just got done talking with the police and to go back out knocking. Apparently he also had a little run in with them and asked to speak to his supervisor and after a few choice words and complaints about how some of the cops were treating his sells reps, they got permission to finish out the day with a promised trip to City Hall to figure things out today. We'll see...
Brownies are just because I was a little stressed out about the whole thing and made me a batch. The problem is, we aren't even supposed to have sweets in the house, but I manage to sneak a few in and made a good batch of goowie brownies and had them for dinner....and breakfast.

Brett's experience thus far

Brett's first day was Monday. It was cold....rainy....and long. The area they had him in was basically the getto and I was scared for his life. Especially when he calls at nine and tells me he is waiting, in the dark, on a street corner, by himself for someone else to pick him up. No sell that day, but we we're happy to get him home alive.
Brett's second day was Tuesday. They all got new areas because everyone was in the "bad parts" of the city and no one was passing credit checks. So nicer area on Tuesday, but then the police showed up. The Team leader guy called everyone and told them to stop where they were and no more selling. Supposedly, even though the state of PA told them they didn't have to have selling license here for just the summer, the cops said they did. They said whoever they caught back out here in this part of the city again without a license would get a $300 citation. I guess in this neighborhood folks were just complaining about people being on their street and the cops needed a good reason to tell everyone to go home. No sell that day, but we're happy no one was arrested.
Brett's third was Wednesday. After getting everyone a valid selling license and another new area, they headed out yet again. They got a later start to the day, at about three due to all the junk that needed to be fixed but it was nice to get to see my husband for a few extra hours. I got a text from brett at about our thirty that just said "Got One!". Good news there. Then, I got the call from Brett that he had his own run in with a cop. Apprenetley the police officer had gotten a complaint about someone running around in the neighborhood disguised in an APX outfit asking people if they had alarms and then not giving them pamphlets or offering any information about who it is he actually works for. After asking Brett a few questions that the cop felt Brett couldn't answer quick enough (i.e what is the address of the head office where you work for....what is your new address...etc.) because Brett had to look in his binder for the answer and THAT looked supsicious to him, he revoked Brett's selling license and told him he "just needed to go home and leave these people alone". No reason really to take it, but just did. Brett had to quit selling for the night and just wait for everyone else in the car. Turns out, it wasn't even brett that got the cops called on him it was another APX sells guy who said it was this lawyer lady that said she was going to call the cops on him...Brett just happned to be the first guy the poilce guy saw. So, still got a sell that day and still not going to jail....
What happens today? I'll keep you posted!!
