The other night, we went to a baseball game. Reno has a Triple-A team called the "Aces" (original, right?), and my friend gave us some really good tickets. One of these days, my kids will go to a game where they have to sit where "normal" people sit. So far, every game they've attended has [...]
We’ve So Not Come a Long Way, Baby
April 13, 2013 – Posted in: Movies, Sex, Sports, Tammy Thinks, Women's Issues, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom RantsSo here's one more reason to lose faith in humanity: the LFL or "Legends Football League" (truly, I regret linking to this and showing you any of it, so I'm just sending you to Wikipedia because I know these jackasses really enjoy the publicity from irate people like me writing about them). The LFL was [...]
How Kaepernick Helped Bring Football — and My Mom — Back Home
February 3, 2013 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Cancer Sucks, Memories, Mom dying, Sports, Worst Mom RandomnessThere's a running joke in my family that if you give me the back story on an athlete, you can get me to watch any sporting event.

Honey, Maybe We Need a Spare Key. . .
June 13, 2011 – Posted in: Forgetting, Sports, Thank God Your Father's Home, Worst Mom MomentsThis is the second visit to World's Worst Moms for Jules. In this episode, she sets up what she calls, "Yet another opportunity for Dad to be a hero." I have two kids (9-year-old boy, 7-year-old girl) and a great husband. And I really enjoy our family. But, if I'm being honest, out of all [...]
It’s the Thought that Counts. Hopefully…
February 16, 2011 – Posted in: Losin' It, Sports, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom MomentsIf I had a dollar for every time this scenario has played out in our family, well. . . let's just say the kids wouldn't need to become professional tennis players.

Cheerless Leader
November 28, 2010 – Posted in: Foot in Mouth, Sports, Worst Mom MomentsRemember the whole, "Everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten" thing?

It’s the Little Things
September 16, 2010 – Posted in: Cleaning, Food, Sports, TV, Worst Mom MomentsThis submission comes from my snarky mommy blogger friend, Rachel Kargas, who writes Get Real Mama. Rachel really does put the "snark" in snarky. She even started our "Snarky Mamas Group" at the Mom Bloggers Club. I don't know what else to say about Rachel except that she's easily one of my favorite writers for [...]
