The other night, while I was up with insomnia, I started making a "You Suck" list. It's just one of many lists that go through my head when my other non-sleeping choices are to: Make a list from the other 100 lists regarding everything from "Brilliant blog posts that come to me...at 2 a.m." to [...]
Arguing for Good is Easier when the Dem’s aren’t being Bad
March 21, 2013 – Posted in: Complaining, Conservatives are Funny, Politics, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom RantsLet's just get something straight right off the bat. The following criticism in no way changes how I feel about the state and actions of the current Republican party. It would take many, many hours over many, many days to convince me that Republicans: want to make sure people won't starve want to make sure [...]
When Barbie Looks Fat and Frumpy, You Know We’re in Trouble
March 18, 2013 – Posted in: Complaining, Elfie, Growing Up, Mean Girls, Parenting, Sex, Shopping Hell, Tammy Thinks, Women's Issues, Worst Mom RantsI was in Target today, just cruising because I'd hit one of those dead-time points in the day when you can't go home but it's too early to pick up the kids, and I found myself in the toy section (for reasons I myself still can't understand). Anyway, I was checking out the Monster High [...]
Even the the Crappy Moments on Facebook are Fake — And that’s “Fine”
March 4, 2013 – Posted in: Blogging, Complaining, Depression, First World Problems, Parenting, Worst Mom RantsEver since that study came out about Facebook making people depressed, I've read many a blog and Facebook post professing the need to "get real" about our lives. In the most recent article, "We Need to Quit Telling Lies on Facebook" on Kveller.com, Sarah Emily Tuttle-Singer writes about her "real" Saturday with the kids, not the cleaned-up, Instagram-filtered [...]
Just One More Thing to Add to the List of Stuff that’s Wrong with Me
January 13, 2013 – Posted in: Chronic Pain, Complaining, Cranky Tammy, Personal InsanitySo I just got some annoying news and I'm trying to decide whether to be mad, sad, or "mystery emotion behind curtain number three." Here's the deal: for the last few years, I've sounded like that church lady in Sixteen Candles. You know, the organist who sounded like she was walking on dead, squeaky leaves. [...]
Happily Saying Goodbye to 2012 — and Still Being Happy
December 31, 2012 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Chronic Pain, Complaining, Mouths of Babes, Newt, Personal InsanitySo here's the current status: I'm officially a Christmas casualty. After, I'm assuming, intense gift-wrapping sessions and several nights of marathon dishwashing, I've done something really bad to my back. I can't lift my arm over my head, so I haven't taken a shower in four days. I'll just let everyone use their own imaginations [...]
When You Wish Upon a Blog
December 11, 2012 – Posted in: Blogging, Chronic Pain, Complaining, Cranky Tammy, Grief, Holidays, Logan's Story, Personal Insanity, Sappy TammyLike an innocent little schoolgirl, romping 'round the playground, I've been smacked on the back by a bigger, stronger, faster kid and declared "It" in a brutal game of tag. Okay, that's not entirely accurate. But bullying is just so "in" right now. My friend, Kelly DeBie over at DeBie Hive has tagged me in [...]
Hunting for Christmas Trees in the Wild Blue Yonder
December 7, 2012 – Posted in: Complaining, First World Problems, Holidays, Nevada, Personal Insanity, The Great Outdoors, Things To Do with Kids, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom RandomnessSo we officially got our asses kicked by a tree yesterday. At 2 p.m., my husband, Tenzin, and I sprung the kids out of school so we could head up the mountain to cut down our Christmas tree. Tenzin is working every weekend until Christmas, so we figured this was the best solution. Get up [...]
Facing Down Buses, and Other Ill-Advised Stuff We do for Our Kids
November 26, 2012 – Posted in: Chronic Pain, Complaining, Cranky Tammy, Crazy Tammy, Elfie, No Good Deed, Parenting, Personal Insanity, The Kids are Killing MeSo this is why I'm insane. Actually, make that part of why I'm insane. Telling the whole story would take way too long. Yesterday I went skiing with the family and some friends. It was lovely -- warmish, mostly rock-free, and not very crowded (most of the Californians were already sitting in traffic on their [...]
I Feel Like Hell — But It’s Really Not Obama’s Fault
November 9, 2012 – Posted in: Chronic Pain, Complaining, Logan's Story, Personal InsanitySo I'm not going to pussy foot around -- I feel like total crap. I should feel great. Obama won a second term. The Supreme Court won't get loaded with crazy right-wingers who think women were cursed by god in the Garden of Eden to bear children until they hit menopause or their uteruses fall [...]
