A Little Insight Into a Wonderfully Busy Life

Sick and Tired of being sick and tired

2010-10-20T19:46:00.002-06:00

Well as of today I have been down with a kidney infection for about 5 days. This has seriously been one of the most NON fun and exciting experiences of my life! My lower back had starting hurting early last week, My and my amazing abilities of rationalization had me thinking it was just me standing funky while at work. Well Saturday Morning I woke up with a low blood sugar of 46 (regular blood sugar levels should be 70-120) so I was all sorts of tired and felt like crud and yet again rationalized it away as the "low blood sugar took a lot out of me". Then later on in the day all I wanted to do was sleep, and so I took a nap. The day progressed I had no appetite and if I took the blankets off of myself I would shake uncontrollably. And then I rationalized that I was getting sick, but it must just be a 24 hour bug. Woke up Sunday morning and felt like crud, I hurt ALL over, had a headache, and was nauseous. Michael got home and asked what we thought we should do, I said go to the doctor. He was all set wanted to take me right away but I refused and made him let me take a shower :) Yeah I know I'm smart. . .

Well long story short I went to the doctor, gave a urine sample, and was offer a script for antibiotics and some heavy duty pain killers. I took the antibiotics but refused the pain killers, the Doc asked me if I was sure 4 times, but I still refuse. Regardless to say . . .Bad mistake Kidney Infections FLIPPIN' HURT!!

But I am feeling better now :) Still a little woozy, but I am on the mend. It only took 5 days of bed rest, 3 sick days from work, and lots and lots of sprite and water :)

Needless to say I have learned my lesson, and will hopefully be smarter from it haha

Love you all

Kat ;)

I found my camera cord !!!

2010-09-14T21:25:00.004-06:00

Look SOLD RANSOM!!!! yay my first new car EVER!! I love it!

It's just so pretty. . . .

okay and now onto my lovely new short hair :)

I am loving it! It's so much faster and easier to get ready in the morning. I have the best Hairdresser and friend: April J!! I have NEVER had a bad haircut from her. Love you April :)

okay I'm done. . . Time for bed!

2010-09-10T22:21:00.003-06:00

I am ALIVE!!! I know I have been gone for such a long, long time but I swear I will try and be better with this whole blogging thing :) I SWEAR, cross my heart hope to die. . .

So first things first. . .

We bought a new car :) best thing ever!! I'm all sorts of excited :) It's a Dodge Caliber, white with black and gray interior. And it's mine all mine, Michael shall dive it on occasion, on occasion being the key phrase in that sentence.

Also I have chopped all my hair off into a cute little pixie cut, I LOVE it. I will post pics soon but I have lost the cable to my camera and therefore cannot show you at this time :( which is sad because the pictures I took of myself are quite cute.

And also last but not least. . I am seriously thinking about going back to school. But I cannot decide. . Back to nursing school or on th Pharmacy school?! Nursing would take my another 1 1/2 to 2 years, Pharmacy would be 5 to 6 years but I would have a doctorate. SOOOO many decisions.

And last but certainly not least Kat's Wishlist of things I cannot afford. . .

A Nikon D5000 SLR digital camera a meer $650-$700

The Bookworm in me would LOVE a kindle but I'm afraid books available to buy at the touch of a button would become reminiscent of my itunes addiction :)

an Apple Macbook Pro. . yup enough said

The Dear Hunter Act III Vinyl Record- the one I would love for my tiny record collection

and these Pearl Acorn Earrings I found on etsy.com, but i shall stop there because if I start on my Etsy wishlist this post would never end

But all in all I think I shall be okay, I have a new car and all these things can wait for a while :)

Love you all - Kat ;)

I come home from work and. . .

2010-04-26T20:23:00.002-06:00

This is what the boys are doing. . . a Kick boxing lesson. It was so cute Aidan loved it, anything that involves martial arts or doing what his dad does is the best thing in his book.

I am not dead! Just thought I'd let you know :)

2010-04-17T22:41:00.003-06:00

Well I thought I should probably do my blog :) A great idea if I do say so myself . . .

Life has been crazy busy lately. . Michael has a new job as a Caregiver for two Schizophrenic Guys, in which he works from 4 pm to 8am four to five days a week. Yay for him having a job, but yuck for me never seeing him. And also my Grandfather died at the age of 81 a little bit ago so for a whole week I was just running around like mad (but that's okay). . . and other than that I'm still plugging away at work.

I'm also a little in denial . . I just realized that Aidan starts Kindergarten in the Fall!! He can't be that old already can he?! A little off subject but all the ladies at church see that Ai's almost 5 and so i get asked . . . if I'm pregnant OR if we're having another one. So to clarify, nope no plans for the Ransom Family to add another member (5 months of bed rest just doesn't sound so appealing right now).

Now for Random pictures :)

Michael and I at the zoo . . and our self portrait
Look What I made today!!! I think its pretty cute!
Custom necklace that we had made, I love it sooo much
Grrrrrr. . Aidan and I making faces at the zoo
Look at Ai eating with his chopsticks . . . Yep we're part Asian

I will try to post more now that I have some semblance of normalcy (try being the key word). Thanks for reading guys :)

Kite flying :)

2009-09-20T16:41:00.003-06:00

Well it was windy enough today we decided to go kite flying. We have this cool chinese flying dragon kite, so we took it outside , and tried to get it in the air unsuccessfully for like a half hour. so we took the kit in and Aidan was all sad. . . Until he remembered his superman dollar store kite, so to placate him I went outside. And in less than 60 seconds Aidan and I have a kite High up in the air. we all took turn flying and we had so much fun :)

And I TOOK PICS!

Happenings At Our House

2009-08-27T12:40:00.003-06:00

I Went to Michaels (that craft store) and bought a how to book and some Beads last night and this is what I have to show for it. The first 5 bracelets are just regular ones, and the 3 short ones are for my diabetic bracelet. I decided I needed another hobby other than reading like Crazy :) Maybe if I get good enough I can start selling them. . .We'll see :)

Aidan is such a HAM! He loves having his picture taken. . look how big his head is compared to his body

We recently bought a web cam so Michael can talk to his family in the Philippines. But all we have used it for was playing around and taking pictures (Aidan saying Hello)

Yes we are Dorks! We know

Other Than work and Commuting, We don't do much else.

Aidan is in little dragons karate and he's doing great. Michael teaches the class and it so fun to watch them together. Michael is gettiing more responsibilities at his job, he's instructing both kids and adult classes in jiu jitsu and karate and kung fu. He also has private lesson he does. He recently went to a tournament and won 2 gold metals !!! And he went to utah to help coach the kids at a tournament there I think 9 kids went and they brought home 17 metals total (basically those kids rock and michael's their teacher!!)

We're so busy we basically are gone for a good 12 hours during the day, we get up, go to work and don't get home til nine to ten at night.

Well here are some more house pictures! We put in the sod today, it actually is starting to look like a house :) We Probably will be able to move in by mid-September or early October. . . I will post some interior pictures in a little while. But things are going great, we still would love help from anyone who wants to come. . . but we had a good time today, we did sod on 6 houses (including ours), it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be ;) You can kinda see our trees, we have a Royal Red Maple, and a Flowering Pear. We also have 11 shrubs, including a willow bush, roses, and some dogtree bushes. it all has come together quite nicely. All thats really left is finish work, carpeting, and lots of cleaning.

2008-05-01T19:45:00.003-06:00

Ok, i swear i am not dead just extremely busy. . . that said i will give you some updates :)

Well Tiff and Jason have FINALLY set a date!!! July 13th,2008 to be exact!! I actually am very happy and excited to make Jason an "official member" of the family. I am to be the maid of honor which is fun, except for the dress for and extended period of time (you guys know how much i hate dressing up), and i was just informed last week that I am obligated to wear HIGH HEELS :( im gonna die, i am going to fall and break something I swear. I was like "why cant i just go get some really cute flats?" but i was shut down by tiff. I really mean it i will get hurt! But tiff wants heels so thats what i have to wear, ugh! oh well, i'll manage.

On another note OUR HOUSE has drywall, and I picked the colors for the outside last friday. And will be picking out flooring, lighting, counters, back splash, and many many other things in the next week, if I get time. I am excited! yay :D

I don't know, I work, when I'm not working I build house. I also have to got dress shopping with my sister, and pick out colors for the house. . . I have no idea where the time goes.

I no longer watch tv, nor do i miss it. Ok I lied, I do watch children's programs in the morning with Aidan (actually he watches them and I sit next to him and read, hehe)

Oh and on the note of Aidan. . He's going to be 3 years old on May 16th, I'm excited yet sad all at the same time, I don't want him to get older. I like him just the way he is. He is getting so huge, the other day he came running at me for a hug and hit his face on my belt, he getting tall and skinny. And i can sit down with him and have a conversation, its fun i love to talk with him.

Michael is doing really good, he works so hard. With jiu jitsu lessons and building the house he has a ton of stuff on his plate. And on top of all that he starts another job at the end of may. I love him more than words can express (just thought you guys would like to know that) and I'm so greatful for what he does for Aidan and I.

Man I'm rambling aren't I?! oh well at least I'M POSTING some thing.

I'm working on the house all day Saturday so I promise to post some pictures of the house, if I remember my camera. Michaels going to Las vegas for a tournament (good luck pogi), so i will be all alone building the house. . so if anyone wants to join me give me a call.

thanks for reading- luv kat

Meet Jason

2008-02-20T17:55:00.006-07:00

This is one of Aidan's favorite people. This is Jason, Jason is my sister Tiffany's finance (I
know tiff's engaged! Funny huh?). Well Aidan absolutely loves him! Jason and Tiff are attached at the hip. If Tiff's home and Jason isn't. . . Aidan is like "where's Jason? Is Jason coming? I miss Jason." It's very cute.

Look at Aidan lovin him and cuddling him awwww

New Haircuts for US!!!!

2008-02-16T13:03:00.003-07:00

I decided to finally cut Aidan's hair. i finally realized that it was too long when i gave him a bath and when his hair got wet and it was touching his shoulders that I probably was time for a hair cut! So I buzzed his head and he was fine with it until. . . He saw his hair on the floor. then he started screaming "oh no my curls, oh you cut my curls!" he was kind of mad at me after that one. but he's over it now and actually likes his hair.

Befor i left to do my hair today, I asked
Aidan if i needed a hair cut and he said "no mommy! you'll look like a boy!"( thanks for the confidence buddy). My sister and I wen to this cute little salon in downtown Boise called The Beehive. And I really like it! Aryana did a good job (she cut and colored my hair).

I think we both look pretty cute. What do you think?

I've Been Tagged!

2008-02-12T13:44:00.000-07:00

Alright I have been tagged like 3 months ago and didn't know it till yesterday(sorry sharesa). . So I am supposed to give 7 true facts about myself. So here goes

1- right now I'm sooo sick!!! (The nauseated, cannot breath, cannot smell, cannot taste because of the not being able to breath or smell. Plus I'm coughing up a lung as I'm typing right now)

2- I forgive people way way to easily! I cannot hold a grudge for long, and when you are trying to prove a point with some one that just doesn't work.

3- I'm am a completely obssesive compulsive when I'm at work. Seriously everything has to be put away in the right place, right after your done with it! For example I will pull the drug, put the info in the computer, count and label the vial. . Then the pharmacist check my work and I put the drug back in its spot on the shelf. Well some times I put it back before the pharmacist is done with it.(so now if they cannot find the drug they're like "hey Kat, drug thief did you take the ..." and most likely yup I did!

4- This one is so retarded. . . I absolutely love soup! I would eat it for every meal if I could. Guess what I packed for lunch today? Hmmm . . SOUP :) and guess what I'm having tommorrow? Yup you guessed it. Soup. That's all I have to say. Soup.

5- I really am having trouble with this. Hmmmm. Oh I know! I am so not a morning person. If given the choice I'd sleep in till noon. I even have tricks of not getting up when Michael tries to make me. . . "I'm not getting up till I get my good morning hug and kiss" . He usually climbs back into bed with me and falls back asleep for another 15 min. Yay for me!

6- I'm still a tomboy through and through. But as of this last year I really like wearing make up! I do, I really like mascara and eyeliner, I think are my 2 favorites. (Oh goodness I've become so vain and girly! At least I can leave the house without it on ;)

7- ah ha the last one! I am a compulsive book reader. For example for the month of January I read 8 books, and it would have been more if not for work and building our house! My Favorite books include : The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks, Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austin, and Uglies by I cannot remember right now. And you cannot call yourself my friend if you have not read all of these books at least once!

Alright it is done! Man that was harder than I thought it would be!

Sorry! Sorry!

2008-02-10T22:58:00.001-07:00

Ok I am officially a slacker when it comes to my blog lately! So I thought I drop a quick little note to let everyone know whats going on. . .

Well we are currently living with my parents in their basement, while we build our house. And honestly things are going GREAT, no joke! everyones getting along and we are having a great time with my family. As of right now our house is framed, sheeted, has a roof, and windows. It's going so good, we are so so excited! I just can't wait till this summer when we can move in :D

Aidan is huge. He's growing up too fast. Michael is doing good he puts in about 30 hours a week on the house and also teaches children's Jui Jitsu classes 4-5 times a week, plus he make phone calls to people inquiring about Jui Jitsu classes. We all are very busy.

I'm working about 40 hrs a week at the pharmacy and loving it. The people I work with are the best, it's a very different environment from the other pharmacy I was working at.

I promise to upload some photos of us and the house soon, it's just i have no idea where my camera is since we moved. most of our stuff is still packed in my dad's snowmobile trailer, and i till haven't had time to unload it yet. It will happen sooner or later.

well hopefully I will write soon!

Just My Luck ;)

2007-12-01T16:46:00.000-07:00

Well it was bound to happen, things were just going way too well. My job is so so great, we start building our house December 8th!

It was just a normal day I was commuting to work in Michael's car (because he was driving mine to Las Vegas for a Jui Jitsu tournament) everything was going well and I had just got off the interstate and was going to drop Aidan at my parents before work, and as I'm driving the temp. Gage start rising into the red zone, so I pull over (call my father and let him know what's happening) let it cool down, and started heading to my parents. I had to pull over and let it cool down a total of 3 times, and all the while my heater had stopped working. And my father graciously gave me a ride to work (I was only 15 min late thank goodness! I absolutley hate being late). My mother picked me up and my dad fixed my car while I was working, he said he thought the coolant just had an air bubble, so he filled up the coolant and put water in my radiator. So I started driving my car home and it happened AGAIN!!! So I had to head back to my parent's (pulling over 3 times to let the car cool down).

So I borrowed my sister Tiffany's pickup. And headed home for the second time that night. Well everything went fine. Aidan really loved it, he held my hand the whole way home and sang along to the radio (he's so cute). So anyway the story still continues . . . The next morning Aidan and I decide to go the grocery store to get a few things and while on the interstate on the bridge going over the Snake River, I BLOW A TIRE. On the bridge, I totally shredded a tire, I went from 65 to 25 and slowly tried to get off the bridge so I could pull over to the side of the road to change the tire. I go to change the tire and there isn't a spare anywhere to be seen. So I call my father talk to him about the situation and decide to call Les Schwab. After waiting 1 hour in the cold, the Les Schwab guy comes and puts on a spare and we go to the store to get a new tire.

Hopefully nothing else happens. I don't think I'd appreciate it. At least Aidan and I didn't get hurt in the process, a little cold, but not hurt. Wish me better luck :)

Best Week EVER!!!! ;)

2007-11-12T08:45:00.000-07:00

Well I have officially been transfered to my new store, and I absolutly love it here. The customers say please and thank you, and my bosses are appreciative and fun (a far cry from the other guys at the old store). The only somewhat bad thing is I cannot get the commute thing down. . . I just spaz out and leave too early and end up twenty to forty minutes early most days. Oh well I'll get it down one of these days. Overall I love it here! I'm so happy that I made this decision.

This pharmacy knows how to have fun there is always some joke being pulled. . Like prank calling other pharmacys pretending to be crazy customers, or putting stickers on the pharmacist back where he can't reach (they just think I'm patting them on the back)

Well I just thoght I'd let you guys know how things are going. I need to get back to work.

People and Work (part 2)

2007-10-23T20:10:00.000-06:00

I think I shall address the question posted by Caity, she asked which one am I? Here they are:
The "teachers pet"- or favorite, I'm not intentionally the favorite but I've been there the longest, I know the likes and dislikes of the pharmacist, and I just go with the flow. It has its benefits though, like if your bosses like you there going to push for raises, push for vacay, and get you the days off you want (sometimes).

The "let people walk all over you"- or pushover. The one who lets people yell at them for something they didn't do, the one who just takes it. It may be a good quality in the customer service field, but in the real world it just plain sucks. Can't you just stick up for yourself! Don't let them yell at you. (There are a few of us back in the pharmacy with this trait)
The "problem fixer"- peacekeeper, the one who just tries to make everything better. This ones kind of self explainatory.

There most likely are some negative ones for me, but I don't know what they are, maybe I'm biased. As far as I'm concerned, I go to work, I try my best and I work hard. And hopefully that's enough.
And I think I deserve a raise (if any of my bosses are reading this wink, wink)

Work and People

2007-10-21T19:48:00.000-06:00

In every workplace weather it be a pharmacy (like mine) or a cubicle filled office. I'm sure there are people that fit the outline as follows;
The "know it all"- cannot be show or taught anything because they know it all ready. They always answer with "oh I knew that!" even though you know they claerly and completely didn't.
The "I have no concept of personal space"- they are ALWAYS too close for comfort welded right next to you, and sometimes are a little smelly (wether it be morning breath, or had something containing garlic for lunch). You scoot and they follow always touching somehow, looking over your shoulder as you type on the computer or helping a customer at the counter.
The "sneak"- they make mistakes and hope that no one notices, or when a mistake is found out they find a way to bypass the boss, or blame it one someone else (usually me or the new girl)
The "one that can't catch on"- you show them something about ten or more times and they still call you over 2 seconds later to be shown again. Or its some elaborate plan to remain lazy and just let other people pick up the slack for them.
The "I'm better that you"- and they let you know it! They tell you how much more experience they have than you. They want you to do it their way, because somehow your way is not good enough (but has been working just fine for you for the last 3 years!). And they they really aren't better that you, they just are egotistical (spelling) pieces of poo. They also think that they are some how that they're your boss even though the were hired at the same position you hold! And have only been there for less than 3 months, as opposed to your 3 years!
The "lazy one"- this one speaks pretty much for itself. The one who leaves the work for you, because they just didn't feel like it. The one who covers your lunch break, and the nice clean caught up workplace you left has disappeared in the 30 minutes while you ate.
The "I know but. . ."- the one who gives you a complement but there is always a BUT attached. Your sick but yet they insist that they're worse off (always have a story to top off yours).

There are so many more that I could explain but I'm to tired to type them out. These people also can be combined. For instance I have a "I know but", "I'm better than you", "know it all","sneak" combo. MAN I really dislike that person!!!! I just try to ignore them but sometimes it cannot be done.

Well I think I feel a little better after that ventage session ;)

A Update for everyone!

2007-10-09T18:24:00.001-06:00

We'll I'm officially going to get transfered to the store I've been trying to get to for 3 almost 4 months now! My first day is going to be November 5th. I'm very excited ! And then on top of that. . . We're going to start building our house at the end of this month (well we'll be breaking ground, and the start building in November)!!!!

I'm also a little nervous about the new store. New doc's signatures and handwriting to learn. New places for drugs , to find. And new PEOPLE. It will be ok. And then along with that I'll be building a house. Goodness do I know how to do all the streesful stuff at once in my life or what?!

You know what I did today? I'm such a space case. I was supposed to leave at 3 pm today but I was at work till 5 pm. I thought I worked till 5!!! I went into the back room to get my coat and looked at the schedule and it said. Katrina 9-3!!!!! I'm soooo done.

I better get going. . . I don't know what it is with aidan and throwing that nerfball at my head whenever I write a blog ;)

Oh Goodness. . . I'm obsessed!

2007-09-27T12:02:00.000-06:00

Thanks to the help from my good friend Adelyn, I'm am currently officially addicted to the TWILIGHT series by Stephanie Meyer. So far she has 3 books published and a forth coming out fall 2008. I've read all the books twice and I love them! They are so good.

I've also been sick, so sick infact, that I haven't went to work in 3 days. Michael actually was like "are you sure your not just staying home to read those books?" After a dirty look and me puking he didn't think I was faking anymore.

They're planning on making a movie for twilight! And she's working on a book called MIDNIGHT SUN that's in Edward's perspective of the first book. But that won't be out for several years :(

See . . . I'm clearly obsessed! And I'm not faking an illness to stay at home to read them. I better go, Aidan is getting annoyed with me and is throwing a nerf ball at my head for attention (silly boy).

Aidan who is two and a half, for those of you who don't know. Has a favorite movie. . . A cinderella story with hilary duff and chad michael murry. That pre teen flick. He asks to watch it everyday, he knows the names of almost all the characters, and he narates the movie as he watches. His favorite part is when prince charming shows up named austin aims. Aidan goes "there's austin aims, austin's here". I think one of the reasons he likes the movie so much is because cinderella's name is samantha (sam). Which is the name of one of his favorite people. . . Adelyn's daughter sam! Of course.

Speaking of the movie we're watching it right this moment. My son is so silly. He's saying " stop that you're missing it! Its good, its a good movie"

the past 3 days. . .

2007-09-11T22:26:00.000-06:00

For the past 3 days I have been working on an insurance problem, for one of our customers. If I haven't been helping customers, the phone has been jammed between my shoulder and ear, trying to convince medicare that they're system is wrong. They say that this patients insurance is medicare as primary, but when I bill it it says that it's secondary and I need to bill the other insurance. There is no other insurance!!!! After talking to 7 different medicare agency's and 2 conference calls with the customer and medicare. Medicare told her to go to another pharmacy cause we're billing ir wrong. So they went to walmart. And wally world got the same rejection!!! Well the customer came back to us to fill them. And payed $500 until we can get this mess straigtened out.

There is a good part to this story when she came to pick them up she brought me flowers, chocolate and a card telling me how thankful she was for my efforts :)

You know sometimes this job may suck but it's times like this that make it worth while.

a day off

2007-09-09T20:30:00.000-06:00

After working 46 hours in four days I finally got a day off!! It was nice I got to go see some of my friends and I got to go out to eat with aidan and michael. I'm glad I got one, I really needed it ;)

Aidan is all into talking with complete sentances. And he likes to pretend . . . Like right now he has a wand (a wooded chopstick) and he's waiving it around and pointing it at me saying "you know something". I have no idea where he got that. He also likes to crawl around and pretend he's a cat named fred. He's so fun, I must admit I'm never without entertainment between aidan and michael.

I think I should go aidan is getting a little impatient.

Some more work stuff. . .

2007-09-04T22:20:00.000-06:00

Are you ready for this . . . I hope you are. Today our pharmacist didn't show up, no phone call, no warning, nothing! So I spent a 10 hour shift answering phone calls and telling angry customer that the pharmacy wasn't open. "But I need my vicodin!!!" I'm going to sue you guys" or the ever popular "but can't you open the pharmacy". No I can't open the pharmacy, I don't have alarm codes or the keys to open it. I also have no idea what you perscription is going to cost!

Ok I feel better now that I vented a little. Man you had it easy I could of went on a lot longer but I'm to tired. I also have to show up an hour early for my shift which means I'll be working eleven hours tommorrow:( I'm really not looking forward to it. And on top of all that FH is gone she transfered to another store far far away! Man work sucks right now.

2007-08-31T14:21:00.001-06:00

2007-08-31T14:13:00.001-06:00

Look how cute Aidan is giving me some kisses!
i need to get a photo of him with him smiling with his dimples, that would be a good one. well I'll post some more in a little while, when i have some more time. i could figure out how to flip the photo so you all can look at it and tilt your head to the side ;)

The Drug That Shall Not Be Named

2007-08-23T23:45:00.000-06:00

I almost forgot to write a bout this crazy customer! We had this new guy come in wanting to transfer all his meds from another pharmacy to us, which is fine , but he kept them is a small safe and he had to key in the password to get his perscription bottles out. Lol! Then as I'm writing down the millions of perscription numbers he has he pulls out this one bottle out of the safe, and makes sure that no one but me can see what it is(valtrex-a herpes med). And he says all psycho like "If I ever, I mean ever hear my name and this drug in the same sentance I will SUE YOU, I'll write down whoevers name it is who said it and I will sue them" so I said even if you call me and tell me to fill you meds I cannot say this name even when it's just you and me on the phone?
"Nope I'll sue you"
So what should should I call it?
"I don't know just don't say it"
How am I not going to say it? I need to know what it is!

This little ridiculous discussion went on for ever he just didn't get it. How am I going to get the whole pharmacy staff not to say the name of this drug, especially when I have pharmacists coming in and out of the pharmacy everyday!
I had the weirdo talk to the pharmacist about his issue and he told him that it was impossible to promise not to say that. And we cannot agree to anything like that but we'd try our best to be descreet.

So I guess it must be known as the drug that shall not be named.

September cannot come soon enough

2007-08-23T23:23:00.000-06:00

Oh this is so nice . . . We finally have a pharmacist that has a work ethic and knows what he's doing, we'll call him Mr. R. Its soooooo nice to go to work and actually be able to get the rx's ready when promised and Mr. R actually answers the phone and helps the customers and tell them about the meds. The other pharmacist we had didn't do A
THING! Seriously he didn't know what he was doing on the computer, he didn't know about half the drugs he was dispensing. So after that idiot, it makes me appreciate mr. R so much more. He's really good he has a knee that he's had surgery on so he hobbles around a bit but even with his knee he's quick!

And today I found out that they're going to start me on the meridian store the first week of september!!! Oh goodness its so nice that things are working out. It will be hard working in a new place but it will be less stressful and I'm sure a lot more fun of course FH will not be there but I guess we can't work together forever, and we'll still keep in touch.

I need to sleep now goodnight

just thought you should know

2007-08-22T00:06:00.000-06:00

To those of you who read this little blog of mine, the next couple of weeks are going to be filled with me complaining about work. Ok?

If that's not ok stop reading right now . . .

Right now we are short one pharmacist with no prospects of a new one coming in and the other pharmacist is on a 3 week vacay. Not a fun work enviroment. And I'm a little annoyed a bout another pharmacy in idaho that says I have a job as soon as the other tech leaves. . . But they don't know when she's leaving. And my store says they have to find my replacement be fore I leave. So I have no idea of what time line I'm looking at. I just want out of the pharmacy I'm at now it's under staffed and too busy. And I swear we have the all the weird customers in the valley (including a certain dr.'s husband who keeps asking me out on dates and telling me how beautiful I am. I'm not lying here! Maybe he's a borderline stalker. You never know!)

But there is one good thing about work. . . It's my co worker! Well call her FH. If your reading this FH your a life saver. Work would not be bearable without you!

Well just thought you guys should know. Thanks for listening/reading ;)

Little Things That Make My Day

2007-08-21T21:21:00.000-06:00

There are so many fun little things that can just make my day. Like after getting up and ready for the day, I walk out of the bathroom and Aidan is standing there waiting and says "mommy looks so cute!" with the sweetess little smile on his face.

Or when I turn on the radio while in the kitchen and michael comes in and dances with me, then aidan wondering where his parents have gone comes in and demands to take part in the dance, ending up with all three of us dancing together in the kitchen.

After I come home from work Aidan and I pick a movie and just cuddle. Aidan also while cuddling just gives me loves and kisses and tells me about his day.

And today Aidan told me "please no work today. . . Stay home. . . Cuddle me please" . Before I left for work.

I love my family. I love all of our little moments together.

Why I Love My Hubby

2007-08-18T01:33:00.000-06:00

Adelyn I'm borrowing this idea frome you :)

1 He usually knows how to make everything better.

2 He's a great kisser (the kind that can make your spine tingle and toe curl)

3 He's a wonderful husband always working hard to provide for his family.

4 He says I love you everyday. Not to mention he also says I'm hot, beautiful, or sexy daily too.

5 He calls me from work just to talk.

6 He's so patient and kind to Aidan. He absolutley loves being a dad.

7 He rubs my back and cuddles with me until I fall asleep.

8 He reminds to stop chewing my fingernails.

9 He has taught me in the last 4 years of our marriage how to loosen up and let thing go.

10 He loves me as much as I love him and he may even love me more.

11 He has saved my life on countless occassions (when my blood sugar drops to were it's not supposed to be)

I have so many more but I should probably sleep.

arrrrgh! pure frustration!

2007-08-17T19:12:00.000-06:00

Today was so not fun... first today was my day off, and work called me in. They called me in after working 2 twelve hour days and one eleven hour day in a row. And yesterday was a day of hell first our pharmacist didn't show up until 2 pm (we normally open at 9am). He didn't even know how to work the computer he seriously came in and said " so do I just sit here and watch you girls fill the prescriptions" NO!!!!! You cannot sit on your butt all day. It took him litarlly an hour to sign in to the computer and we cannot finish rxs without his final check on the computer.

Sorry to who ever is reading this I'm just venting.

Next it normaly takes us at the most 20-30 minutes to do a rx but it took us 1 1\2 - 2 hours!!! And most of the customers did not take it very we'll , we told them it would take about an hour and a half , but they would show up like 20 min. Later and demand why it wasn't done yet!!! It was because we had a twit for a pharmacist!!!

Ok I think I'm cooled off now that I out there.
