Update on store

I'm so overwhelmed but just keep putting one foot in front of the other and moving on. I'm feeling pretty unsupported but I guess it boils down to no one truly understands the huge task of putting everything back together at the store except my mom and anyone who this has ever happened to. So, I can't very well blame anyone who doesn't "get it".

Short story version:
We've recovered the stolen computer (thanks to my SIL) but the hard drive was replaced so all the data is lost. The back up wasn't doing it's job so no POS data there either. The "magic scanner" process didn't work so no data there either. So, it's up to my mom and I to re-enter our entire inventory, almost 5,000 sku's. Thank goodness I decided to go ahead and start an inventory count last week. So, we have item counts all over the store and today we started entering sku's and inventory counts. I suggested we close the store for a few days to have less interruptions so we can hopefully get through everything faster. My mom agreed.

I'm exhausted at the prospect, partially because Steve's on vacation this week and even though we didn't have grand plans to go anywhere, he still wants me at home. So, again, I'm pulled in multiple directions. I find it so hard to juggle being available for my kids, keeping my husband happy, doing what I feel I need to do for the store, staying in touch with friends... Yeah, exhausted pretty much sums up my feelings right now.

Needless to say, I'm still taking photos for my Project 365; I just can't find time to download pics from my camera and upload to here. So, for now, no pics. Sadly, some things are just more important in my world at the moment. :-)
