If I walked into a meeting and said I needed to blast Metallica for three minutes before we got started in order to better mentally prepare myself, people would probably think I was a bit "off." They'd probably feel the same way if I requested some time to do yoga and then told everyone they [...]
Hi, my name’s Tammy, and I’m a Liberal
August 22, 2012 – Posted in: Blogging, Personal Insanity, Religion, WritingDearest Worst Moms,So it's been a crazy week. First of all, we've somehow been nominated for Best Mom Blog at Hot 99.5 in Washington D.C. (you can vote for us here and that would be swell). This is all, in a word, awesome! But completely crazy.And second, I have some big news (maybe not bigger than the [...]
Praise Be To Easter
April 9, 2012 – Posted in: Holidays, Okay That's Funny, Religion, Videos, Worst Mom RandomnessSo I survived Easter. Barely. I think what bugs me the most about the "secret" holidays that involve bunnies and Santas (and next year leprechauns, thanks to my daughter's friends and teachers who told her about the adorable tricks that get played on kids during Saint Patrick's Day) is not so much the unacknowledged work I put [...]
A Scary, Shady Sunday
March 25, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Politics, Religion, Videos, Worst Mom RandomnessSo I saw two videos that made me laugh today. One was really frickin' funny. The other was just so sad that I did the "Oh dear lord I can't believe these people actually exist" laugh that isn't really laughing at all.I'll start you out with the disturbing one because I'm an "eat the food [...]

And I'm just so done. So, so done.There comes a point where you start to wonder if there are any decent, reasonable people left in the world. If anyone's thinking about their actions and how they'll affect other people. [...]
How About Baseball? Soccer? Okay, Curling.
September 10, 2010 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Mean People, Politics, Religion, Worst Mom RantsI'm gonna go a little street-rat crazy here. . .If you haven't been hiding under a rock, stuck on a deserted island, or buried by the burdens of your house and children (I'm throwing in that last one because I hardly ever watched the news this summer due to the beasties), you've no doubt heard [...]
The Holiday Letter
January 15, 2010 – Posted in: Autism Recovery, Getting Older, Holiday Letter, Holidays, Mom dying, Newt's Story, Parenting, Personal Insanity, Religion, Working for Pay, Worst Mom RantsSo as I mentioned earlier, I'm sending out New Year's cards instead of Christmas cards this year (due to my usual lack of organization and punctuality in this department). Many of you, I assume, are reading this as a result of receiving said card and not receiving my annual holiday letter. Instead, you got a [...]
The Church of Star Wars
June 29, 2009 – Posted in: Cancer Sucks, Getting Older, Mom dying, Parenting, Personal Insanity, ReligionI had one of those "I cannot believe this is my life" moments today. Like when you're paying the mortgage and you suddenly realize you're married and own a home. Or when you're driving to a birthday party and suddenly realize you have two kids. They're "Holy crap, I'm actually a grown-up" moments, and I [...]
