Please be on the lookout for Rachel Kargas/Alias Getrealmommy. It is believed that she is mentally unstable and possibly dangerous.
Rachel (photographed above) is five-foot-four, has an (unusually chic) short haircut and is covered in flea bites. She was last seen wearing a black tshirt stained with spit up and a pair of ill-fitting Old Navy maternity sweatpants.
She has been spotted wandering the area with her four-month-old baby strapped to her chest, pushing an empty red double stroller while screaming “Hurry Up! We’re late” at her two disheveled sons trailing behind her. Based on her boys appearence there is concern that her sons are being emotionally abused and forced to wear miss-matching outfits.
While it is unlikely that Ms. Kargas is armed with anything more than one of her kitchen knives (which is too dull to cut string cheese), she is considered unstable and should be approached with caution.
Tammy Soong is a writer, wife, and mom from Reno, Nevada. She takes an absurd amount of pain medication, but not enough to have actually named her children "Newt" and "Elfie." She spends most days stressing out over clutter, writing stuff for this place, and working on podcasts with her gal pals, the Blogging Betties.
Best photo ever!
It sounds like Rachel is doing JUST FINE. She doesn't need a therapist; she needs a spin doctor! For instance, her older children are wearing mismatched outfits because Rachel knows that children have so much decided for them, and she knows that nurturing their independence and allowing them to choose their own clothing today will help them grow into strong, capable adults. The fact that she's wearing her calm, contented baby strapped to her chest and pushing an empty stroller is further evidence of her sanity — the new moms I'm afraid of are the ones who are holding their screaming babies in a plastic car seat bucket and seem completely oblivious to the infant's distress. Hang in there, Rachel — I award you chocolate and a drink (if you don't want alcohol because you're nursing, then maybe a nice cup of hot chocolate and a bubble bath would do the trick).

Rebecca,
Trust me I'll take the drink! Maybe it will do us all a little good!

LOL. love it.
So funny….I believe that, as long as you've brushed your teeth and your kids are clothed in weather appropriate clothing, you are doing great…..now if your boys were wearing swim goggles, a princess dress and cowboy boots then they might be my daughter….
I agree! This is a smokin' hot pic. Makes me want to cut my hair.
She and my daughter apparently need to go shopping together.
Rebecca, I think you just got hired as Rachel's spin doctor!
