So I'm home from camping. Yesterday, when my friend hadn't heard from me, she emailed to make sure I hadn't crawled into a hole or gotten trapped under a porta potty. Sadly, she wasn't too far off (from the hole part). I've been in full-on meltdown mode: exhausted, killer headaches, vertigo. Stuff that makes you [...]

Worst Mom Randomness
Today, while everyone was writing sentimental posts and acrostic poems about dads, I was hoping to baby Jebus that my husband wouldn't remember it was Father's Day. Not that he really would've remembered. Tenzin and I are sort of famous for not making a big deal out of holidays anyway. Truth be told, I wasn't [...]
Last night, Elfie and I went camping at Lake Tahoe with her 3rd grade class. It's an end-of-the-year tradition, and even though I wasn't that jazzed about the idea of going up without my husband, I did because she really wanted to take me, not Dad. I don't mean to be a wimp, but honestly, [...]
So I am spent. Spent. These are the days when my body likes to remind me that "No, you can't go skiing on Saturday, hiking on Sunday, and then expect to live to tell about it. Ha ha!" Or, I should say, "Bwwahaha!" I have a feeling my body has a tendency towards sick and [...]
So 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 [...]

Things To Do with Kids
My kids drive me crazy for so many reasons, but one of my major beefs is how they'll fight me about going outside and then become horribly devastated when it's time to come in. Yesterday, we walked (the kids rode their bikes) to the field by our house. It's not far, but because we live [...]
In all the hubbub, I almost forgot Throwback Thursday! What hubbub? I don't know. But it sounds like a good excuse. Anyway, this World's Worst Moms oldie but goodie is from JoAnn Stevenson, who makes a person wonder if getting back to nature is really the best idea.It was a beautiful sunny day in August [...]
As we approach the First Anniversary of World's Worst Moms, I thought it would be fun to throw in one of my own bad mother moments. Enjoy the pain.And if you haven't entered the Anniversary Giveaway Extravaganza yet, then get your butt over to the previous post before midnight on August 24th. Someone's going to [...]
This comes from JoAnn Stevenson, who I assure you is quite competent in her job at KOLO TV in Reno (if you'd like to advertise with them, shoot her an email: joann.stevenson@kolotv.com). I'm not even gonna say anything else. . . It was a beautiful sunny day in August a couple of years back. The [...]
