I saw this picture in our local paper yesterday. I laughed it off, but think I may have had a bit of a PTSD panic attack. My guess is that this lady either watched Psycho or took some sort of anger management/pumpkin carving class right before she came to work. When Elfie was 4-years-old, I [...]
Scarring and Scaring the Kids for Life
December 18, 2012 – Posted in: Angry Tammy, Life is Dangerous, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom Moments, Worst Mom RantsI've had moments when I've wondered if naming this blog "World's Worst Moms" was really the best idea. Tonight, not so much. The kids are currently sleeping next to me on the floor in sleeping bags because they're too freaked out to stay in their room. Thanks to my horrible case of Honest Mommy Syndrome, [...]

It Takes a Village to Walk to School
October 20, 2012 – Posted in: Life is Dangerous, Parenting, School, Unsolicited Advice, World Gone Crazy, Worrying, Worst Mom RantsSo yesterday I was lucky enough to come across this post from Grass Oil by Molly Field. This is worth a read for two reasons: one, it's a serious, cautionary, Worst Mom Tale (and by that I mean "worst" in the best way possible -- you know, kind of how "bad" and "phat" somehow got [...]
Senseless and Sensibility
July 24, 2012 – Posted in: Life is Dangerous, Mean People, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom RantsI'm not going to write a whole lot about the horrible shooting in Aurora last week -- other people have done a stellar job of that already (including my friend over at DeBie Hive). But I feel like I can't move on to anything else until I've acknowledged it.So let me just say this: one [...]
Pain, Pain, Go Away
January 5, 2012 – Posted in: Blogging, Chronic Pain, Life is Dangerous, Personal InsanitySo two weeks ago, I was rear ended by a drunk driver (sorry -- timeliness has never been one of my strong suits).My poor little hybridActually, she wasn't a "drunk" driver. Turns out she was on a bunch of prescription drugs. Which makes more sense, seeing as it was 9:30 in the morning. As my [...]
Where Will You be When They Come for You?
October 26, 2011 – Posted in: Life is Dangerous, Mean People, Politics, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom RantsI didn't get very much sleep last night. I was up until almost 1 a.m., watching news come in from Occupy Oakland. If you didn't already hear, a bunch of protesters were injured last night, including Iraqi war veteran, Scott Olsen. In the greatest of ironies, Scott survived two tours of duty and is now [...]
Good Luck, Bad Luck, Who Knows?
September 27, 2011 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Crazy Tammy, Family, Life is a Mystery, Life is Dangerous, Personal Insanity, TravelIt's been a hectic week. "First world problems" hectic week, but still. A hectic week. Due to my lack of trust in the human race, I didn't make it public that we went out of town. That always seems like something that'll end up on www.RobMyHouse.com. It was bad enough that there were a bunch [...]

Less than a week ago, I posted about a crazy person walking into a Carson City IHOP and gunning down a bunch of people. And now last Friday, we made the national news again.Every year, we host the [...]
Anytime, Anywhere: Carson City Loses its Innocence
September 7, 2011 – Posted in: Family, Life is Dangerous, Mean People, Parenting, Personal Insanity, World Gone CrazySomething terrible happened here yesterday. We live in Reno, and most of our extended family lives in Carson City. Around 9 a.m., Eduardo Sencion pulled up to the IHOP on South Carson Street and started shooting people. He targeted a group of National Guard members, killing three of them. He also shot another woman. Then, [...]
