I've been avoiding the news lately. In an effort to de-stress a little, I decided it just wasn't in my best interest to follow the midterm elections too closely or see precisely what was on fire (with the exception of the trees burning a few hundred miles from my house and causing the air to [...]
Put Your Money Where Your Flag Is and REALLY Support Vets
November 12, 2013 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Guest Blog, Mean People, Tammy ThinksI'm afraid I'm a day late with this, but I don't care. The fact that we take 24 hours out of the year to pay lip service to our veterans is a little bit silly anyway -- a day shouldn't go by when we aren't outraged that even one vet is sleeping on the streets [...]
The Tree Doesn’t Fall Far from the Apple
September 25, 2013 – Posted in: Bullying, Conservatives are Funny, Elfie, Family, Growing Up, Kid Friends, Mean People, Mouths of Babes, Newt, Parenting, Women's IssuesSo I'm happy to report that the kids not only survived camp but had a fabulous time. Apparently the first night was a little touch-and-go: Newt wanted to come home very badly, and Elfie got stung by a bee. But they sucked it up, and the memorable stories have been trickling out of them since [...]
Oh Dean Heller, Why Must You Keep Proving You’re a Wuss
April 22, 2013 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Lying, Mean People, Nevada, Politics, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom RantsA few weeks ago, Senator Dean Heller, the Republican from my state (Nevada), voted to bring gun control up for debate. This isn't generally what Republicans do, so for about 10 seconds I fell into the trap of believing he might actually be a decent guy. Clearly this is why it was so easy 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 [...]
Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical Pumpkin Patch
October 29, 2012 – Posted in: Angry Tammy, Conservatives are Funny, Cranky Tammy, Nevada, No Good Deed, Politics, Reno, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom RantsSo Saturday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Little background -- we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we'd try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It's owned by a family who live on their farm, [...]
Are You Still Undecided? Then Maybe You Should Just Stay Home.
October 24, 2012 – Posted in: Complaining, Conservatives are Funny, Cranky Tammy, Mean People, Politics, Unsolicited Advice, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom RantsOkay, that's it. I'm officially spent. Last weekend, some friends and I walked a few neighborhoods in Reno to Get Out the Vote for Obama (in honor of my cousin, Logan -- it was really nice). We, of course, encountered a number of "I'm not sure who I'm voting for" people. And then this week, [...]
I’m Sure My Son Isn’t TRYING to Make Me Insane…
October 18, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Crazy Tammy, Elfie, Foot in Mouth, Losin' It, Mouths of Babes, Newt, Parenting, Personal Insanity, Politics, Stuff I Probably Shouldn't be Thinkin', Tenzin, Thank God Your Father's HomeSo this is basically how our morning went... Me (pointing at a photo of people shaking Joe Biden's hand on the front page of the newspaper): Hey, look -- if I would've gone to the Biden event yesterday, that could've been me. Newt: You're in there? Me: No, I could've gone. And my friend had [...]
I Don’t Vote with my Vagina. But I do Vote FOR It.
October 15, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Politics, Sex, Uncategorized, Worst Mom RantsI got a comment from a reader on my last blog who was basically annoyed with me because she felt I voted with my vagina. Which is strange because I didn't even know my vagina had fingers (although my husband does claim it has magical properties). Anyway, she was generally ticked that I vote for [...]
At Least Paul Ryan Would Bring Laughter to the White House
October 11, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Okay That's Funny, Politics, Worst Mom Randomness, Worst Mom RantsWell, it's official. After watching the vice presidential debate and running into these two little gems on the internets, I'm totally screwed if the Romney/Ryan ticket ends up in the White House. Because there's absolutely, positively no way I'll ever be able to look at Paul Ryan and not start laughing my bloody arse off. [...]
