So the other night, a friend of mine posted this on Facebook: "Dear baby, it is some kind of federal offense to cry on the red eye." To which I replied: "Don't hate on crying babies on airplanes. It's bad karma. Trust me." And then a friend of his said: "But seriously, who takes a [...]

August 6, 2011 – Posted in: Mean People, Puke, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Travel, Worst Mom MomentsAfter an overwhelming response from followers of the World's Worst Mom Facebook Fan Page, Ginger has caved to the peer pressure. She's written up her infamous story of how some Disney mommies didn't, um, "speak to others with respect and loving kindness."

G’day Wusses
February 26, 2011 – Posted in: Chronic Pain, Complaining, First World Problems, Illness, Nevada, Parenting, Personal Insanity, School, TravelSo, I'm sick. Not dying with the flu or even puking sick, but up at 3 a.m. because I can't really swallow or sleep sick. Which is great for writing. Not so good for anything else.I'm not a very good sick person.

R.I.P. Shoe Tree
January 4, 2011 – Posted in: Life is Dangerous, Mean People, Nevada, Road Trip, Sappy Tammy, Travel, Worst Mom RantsLike most parents, I've spent a fair amount of time reassuring my kids.

I've just been in Denver (And, no, that isn't some backhanded comment about Denver, which would be lovely even if you were somehow under a rock. Dead, not so much.).

Next Time, the Drive-Thru
October 18, 2010 – Posted in: Accidents, Injuries, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Travel, Worst Mom MomentsThis story comes from my friend, Metis (my choice of aliases, not hers). We're just scratching the surface of her vast experiences. Look forward to more shenanigans in the future. We were in Phoenix. That explains a lot. I don’t know about you, but being in Phoenix puts me on autopilot; intellectually, I know things [...]
