Kudos and Crap



First the Kudos! I was so excited. I am finally doing good things at work instead of messing up! Yay!!!! have received two compliments from 2 different managers so I'm very happy. The first manager complimented me on my policy writing. I have barely been there a month and was asked to write a policy and procedure for my job. I had no clue what I was doing but did it anyway and she said I did a great job. The second Kudos came from my new manager. I was asked to compile a serious of questions regarding NPI # and submit them to her for discussion. Since the process is so confusing and there are so many rules and questions I also submitted samples with specific highlighted areas and referenced those with the questions. My manager loved it and said it made the process so much easier! I love making so many people happy in one day! Good day for me at work.



Now for the crap.... This weekend is our Strawberry festival. It is an annual event with a parade and carnival. The soon to be ex and I are trying to figure out what to do with the kids. I had to be the one to tell the kids they had to choose and they did not like it. My daughter cried and I cried because I broke her heart. She so wants us to go together to the carnival... I'ts tradition. I think we came up with a compromise but I won't know until later. I just hate breaking my kids hearts. It has always been hard for me not to give them what makes them happy. Lets just say I haven't made them happy in a long time. I went from being "yes' mom to "no" mom. I hate being the bad guy! I can't afford to do the things they want to do, I don't have as much time to do the things they want to do and I can't bring their Dad home either. ARGG! Ok.. back to Tanya's happy place. Just call me happy Tanya. Forget happy Gilmore! I have a happy place too but it is not the same as Gilmores!

Congrads on the awesome job at work! I am off to sleep but I wanted to stop by and let you know a new post is up and I am going to do a better job keeping up with them.

Janet's advice is better than any that I could come up with. You do deserve kudos. Hang in there!

Thats the hard part about being a single parent. One of you has to be the bad guy and more often than not, it's the mother. Then you get the "Disneyland Dad" men who are only there for the fun moments. It doesn't seem fair but someday your children will realize how much you did for them. And love you all the more for it.
Congratulations on the new job! It's great to work for someone that lets you know when your doing good. Most companys don't recognize dedicated workers.

Okay, Tanya...first of all...on the work success! Being recognized always feels *so* good, doesn't it?Now, as for the strawberry festival...I know that you and your ex are different from Rock and I but believe me, I get how hard it is to incorporate separation into traditions and events. The only thing I've learned, and I know it's not much, is that it's time for *new* traditions. You're a different family now. You're changed and your children are changed, too. Trying to make everything else "normal" or the same for them when a huge part of their lives is already altered doesn't make it any easier. Can either you or your husband decide who "gets" the strawberry thing? And then can you find something *new* to do with your children? Start making little traditions with them...new traditions that happen only with Mom. Your relationship with your kids is different, yes...but that doesn't mean it has to be bad.

Eh well done, your hard work is paying off in the new job'. I'm so sorry about the decissions you have to make regarding the children, i've been there and it is heart breaking to be the tough guy. I hope it all works out and that you all enjoy the day. I learned that sometimes changes like this one can work out better for all the children, these days out have an uncanny knack of turning out great given the circumstances. You'll have a great time.

Congrats about the accomplishments in the new job!! I'm sorry about the strawberry festival, carnival, and kids this weekend. I wish that there was someway you all could go together for the weekend event with the kids.
