Inventory....aced!!

So my day started rough. I worked 13 hours yesterday and had to be at the store at 6am this morning. It was early!!! When the numbers started to come down....it did not look good. W were going to take a hit...5 figures. I was flabbergasted. I was going to go home and crawl into a ball and cry. Then this conversation occured when my store manager came back to the pharmacy

Mr. Martin: looks good
me: are you nuts?
Mr. Martin: guess you didn't hear the good news?
Me. NO!!
Mr: Martin: They found the missing money. We were billed for someone else's warehouse delivery in January. The DM found it. We are going to have to fight for it but it means your looking at a pick up...and positive shrink
(For you non- retail people...this is good.....negative shrink means missing money and lost profit)

WOHOO!!!

Scaredy cat...uh dog...

Saturday night/ Sunday morning a storm blew in. Hollie is desperately afraid of thunder. Usually she tries to climb in bed with us, scratching the heck out of us and keeping us awake. Randy shooed her away and she decided to take refuge under the bed, where she stayed all night. Scaredy dog!!!

It's too early for this heat...

It was 87 degrees today. It's only April. Why do I live here again? Oh yeah, no snow, no state taxes, more home for the buck. but I guess there are some trade offs. Record high temps in the summer and electric bills in the stratosphere. I guess I should be thanksful that we have 2 air conditioners and I work inside all day.
Speaking of work, I am stressing a bit....I have inventory next Tuesday. Although I have always had a good inventory (there was that one bad on where it turns out the RPh was stealing, and the other time when I had only been the RXM for 3 days), it still causes me anxiety. It's like part of my report card. It's amazing how in my personal life I don't give a crap what people think of me and I stopped jumping through hoops to make people happy and be my friend years ago, but at work, there are many times where I wonder how I am doing, what the higher ups think of me. Although I hate jumping through the hoops, I still do it anyway. It is especially stressful since we were down 1 script for march, and down 7 scripts the first 7 days this month...for the first time in 4 years. Anyway...wish me luck.

Jump party!!

We went to Brennen's 4th birthday party on Sunday. Jordana had a blast but she got tired fast!!! On the way there, I turned around and saw that Jordana had taken her shoes and socks off. for some crazy reason, she put her socks on her hands! Maybe they were cold. What a goofball!!!

Still feeling the effects of the pulled tooth

I braved work yesterday, and promptly puked before the pharmacy even opened. I struggled until 2pm, because we were short handed. Then I went home and slept. I woke up at 4AM with a migraine. My gums don't really hurt anymore and the nausea had subsided since I stopped taking the codeine, (I am just taking Tylenol now), but I still have a headache. I am able to control it if I dose every 4 hours. I will go to work tomorrow, because I am off this weekend. I hope to back to myself soon!!!

I am the same, with one less tooth...

So I was having tooth pains this weekend. I called the dentist on Monday and made an appointment for Tuesday. Remember I am 3 months pregnant. When I got the the office, My wonderful dentist, Dr. Woody Barksdale, took one look at it and said it looked abscessed. It was very dangerous for the baby. So he wanted to schedule me for an extraction next week. Then he took an x-ray....and got serious fast. He asked me if I could stay and do it today. I was a little freaked out, and not at all prepared.
For those of you who have know me a long time, you know I have had dental problems for years. I was given tetracycline as a baby to treat high fevers. In the 70's, it was unknown the damage tetracycline causes to calcium containing substances, such as teeth and bone. Luckily, all that was damaged was my teeth. I had severe staining and my teeth were very soft, causing multiple cavities. I had my wisdom teeth extracted my senior year and for graduation, my parents paid for a cosmetic procedure that would perfect my smile. I have had over 100 shots of novacaine in my life and 1 root canal. Needless to say, my trips to the dentist are always filled with anxiety.
Dr. Barksdale was more concerned about the baby. The poison in my jaw could hurt the baby if it made it into my blood stream. The tooth needed to go now. So he called my OB/GYN to clarify what I could have and promptly shot me up with novacaine. The tooth was out in 10 minutes and I was on my way.
So now I am properly drugged up and feel like I was punched in the mouth. The icing on the cake? My dentist called me at home tonight to see how I was feeling. So I am the same person I was this morning, just with one less tooth.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Mom, Barb, Jordana and I went to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the Toyota center today. We were a bit late because we didn't know the Mckinney street exit was closed, but we saw enough. Jordana was a little freaked out by the music in the first act, and she buried her head in my neck. When there was quieter music, she was very interested in the dinosaurs. After intermission, when she had a snack and juice, the second act was much better than the first. Although she buried her face a time or two, she still peeked. Even the T-Rex didn' scare her that much. It was very cool and very realistic. I highly recommend it, even if you don't have kids. Here are a few shots of the action.

Facebook

Ok, so I finally decided to join Facebook. If you are using it, find me and send a message. I think it is better than Myspace. Barbara uses it and is happy with it, so I am catching up with the cyber-Jones'!!

Another layout

Here is a layout of Jordana with my best friend Lisa, when she visited last winter. Although Jordana would not co-operate by smiling, she still had a great time with "Aunt Lisa". I hope she visits again soon!!! Double click on the pix for a closer look.

A few Holiday layouts

I am slowly getting my scrapbooking caught up. I have a bunch of pages done but they are not in albums yet. I thought I'd share a few holiday layouts. The brown one is from the car ride home from Hanukkah at Grandmas. Jordana was buried under her new stuffed animals in her car seat and was watching a movie. She paused to grin for the camera. The red ones were taken a few nights before Christmas when Aaron, Sharon, Chloe and Alyssa stopped by to exchange presents. We gave the girls these huge coloring books and they were in this huge bag. Jordana was peering in the bag and Chloe says "Jordana, do you want to get in the bag?" Jordana said "yes". I put her in and she had a blast!!! You can double click on the pix to get a closer look!!
