My name is Tammy G. Aka MamaTazz. Aka Bionic Mommy. High School Reunion Coordinator. Wife. Mommy. Hot frigging mess. Ha ha. I've been away too long, and you know how it goes, the farther you get from something, the harder it is to get back. I would compose blog entries in my head, and then nod off...at work. Just kidding. But I would be composing all these entries everywhere, and then I'd realize, "Oh crap, its been a week since I wrote." Then it became a month, now we are closing in on 2. I missed my 2nd Blog-o-Versary too!
Things have been busy in Bionic Mommy-land. My new job is full on. I am actually at the end of my 90 day "probationary" period. God, do those things give me fits. I know I am a good worker, I try my best, and I have nothing to worry about, but I set these unreal expectations for myself, so when I don't meet them (like changing our business name in ALL of our documents in our companies history - at last count over 7000 - in my DOWN time), I give myself grief - meanwhile my supervisors don't even know I've set that goal. Things like that, you know? But I LOVES my new job. LOVES it! I'm doing a little of this, a little of that, at Paxton Campus in Leesburg. Its a non-profit with several organizations on the campus, and I'm helping out with a lot of them. Eventually I will be a parent advocate for IEPS. But I love it there. I actually miss it when I'm not there. It's great. And its full of all these characters. The workers and the kids in the schools on campus. Fun.
I'm stressing about the reunion. We are a month away. I've not lost any of the weight I've wanted to lose. I'm disappointed in myself for that. I'm starting to get these messages from people (since I'm the chair).."hey tammy, sorry, I can't make it to the reunion, my cat is dying, i have a paper cut, etc.). So annoying. I've been working my ass off these last few years collecting emails, staying in touch, trying to drum up some excitement for the reunion, and the LEAST I can ask is that people actually attend. It's one thing if you told me 3 years ago - "hey, not interested." But its another entirely if you've been telling me all along you are coming, only to now, 4 weeks out say, "um, I'm gonna be sick that night." Really? Don't even tell me at this point. I don't want to know. Surprise me with your lack of interest. It'll be better for both of us.
I've had people tell me, "Don't take it personally if people aren't interested." But since I've PERSONALLY been planning this (and our first one 10 years ago), its kinda hard not to! I don't expect flowers or gifts for all my work, but I do expect people to actually show up. That's all I ask.
Okay. So maybe that's why I haven't written lately - I'm a little mad about the lack of enthusiasm. I will be glad when its all over. But tomorrow? Another day - a great one too - my 12th wedding anniversary with J. WOW. To be continued...
