Today has been an awesome day; an awesome day filtered in with some not-so-awesomeoness. But let’s start with the good.
Guess who is one of the top 5 producers in her company?! That’s right-Top 5 be-atches! Actually, as it turns out 3 of the 5 of us are from the DC office.
Because I love what I do and well, because this is a public blog I’ll just leave it as “top 5 producer”. If you know me you know (or can find out) what that means, but I’d rather stay employed thankyouverymuch. I have to be honest, I’m over the moon. I am so very proud.
And then I came home. And the boy, while happy, wasn’t through the roof (as I suppose I expected). And I was hurt. And I should know better than to set up expectations, because let’s face it setting expectations for others never ends up like you want. But as he put it, and the fact is, that winning some award doesn’t make me who I am and quite frankly doesn’t change “what everyone knows about me”. It’s just announcing out loud the reality of my day-t0-day life.
Should I be proud? Yep. Am I proud? You damn straight. And the boy is proud too. Add to that some less than stellar news we learned about our dear friend’s pups, and it’s a gentle reminder that at the end of the day, there’s more to life than winning awards. Oh yea, and next time, I’ll send a memo about the reaction I’m looking for 
PS-I’m still top 5 be-atches!

Ummmm, why havent you told me about this?! Sure, you dont NEED an award to know how awesome you are but getting one sure is nice!
I am proud of you. Way to go! You rock!
And sometimes an award is just an award – doesnt need to be a life lesson – something it just needs to be something to celebrate for a moment.
