Mommy, hungry!: Gommie's Week: Pools and Pot Roast
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2015/08/gommies-week-pools-and-pot-roast.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Gommie's Week: Pools and Pot Roast. It's blazing hot for Connecticut right now, though Gommie thinks it's balmy- and still 10 degrees below Houston. They all went swimming yesterday in a neighbor's pool, floating and splashing around, with a giant swan float that they took turns riding. And tumping each other out. Meanwhile, I chatted with the neighbor over lemonade and watermelon she brought out- she's so nice. Swiss cheese, sliced. Wife Stay-at-ho...

Mommy, hungry!: A Weekend with Goo
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-weekend-with-goo.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Monday, August 10, 2015. A Weekend with Goo. Less than 12 hours after putting Gommie on her train, the kids' uncle, Goo, came for the weekend. Being a doctor, he doesn't often get full weekends off, but he did and elected to spend it with us. And they had a blast! But not the super-fast 200cc races they started to play. Oh, and we did spend a part of Sunday morning making little polymer clay creations. Goo had introduced me to the art of Sculpey some 18 or so years ago&...

Mommy, hungry!: Pen and Paper
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2013/05/pen-and-paper.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. With it being that time of year for recitals and competitions, the kids are finding themselves waiting for and then sitting through long performances, not only by their sibling, but by lots of other kids, too. Sometimes, it's more than even the most attentive and patience eight-year-old can handle. So, they've been carrying around paper and pencil to entertain themselves. And they're not (quite) missing the DS! Bulls and Cows: like Mastermind, the goa...

Smiles are Calling: Archaic figures of speech
http://cksmiles.blogspot.com/2013/03/archaic-figures-of-speech.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. Archaic figures of speech. Do you still 'roll down' your windows? How about 'hanging up' the phone, no? It turns out that we do not actually do the things that we use as figures of speech, interesting yes. Imagine a few years down the line when twitter and facebook are long on, will we still say 'tweet that shit' or 'update status'. January 2, 2014 at 10:02 PM.

Mommy, hungry!: Christmas Magic Comes Early
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2013/11/christmas-magic-comes-early.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Christmas Magic Comes Early. It's common this time of year to bemoan the early arrival of Christmas carols, particularly over store PA systems. And while I will hum along, as I did today and last week at the craft store, I usually like to wait until after Thanksgiving to start the caroling. And then Sound of Music. So, for next time, after Thanksgiving, here are the words to some of the songs I hope we'll sing:. Angels We Have Heard On High.

Mommy, hungry!: Gommie's Week: The Beach
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2015/08/gommies-week-beach.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Gommie's Week: The Beach. I'm not sure how many people think of the beach when they think of Connecticut- almost as if we exist in some kind of permanent New England fall- but we do have them. Sure, nothing like Rhode Island or the Cape, but still right here, quick and easy access. I'll stick with this technique.) She said she learned it from a cute cabana boy in Spain! That has to be a first. Labels: arts and crafts. Wife Stay-at-home Mommy. ...

Mommy, hungry!: How To Get Through Abdominal Surgery
http://mommyhungry.blogspot.com/2015/04/how-to-get-through-abdominal-surgery.html
Two moms, two kids, four cats. Monday, April 20, 2015. How To Get Through Abdominal Surgery. Beforehand (*if you know, of course! Figure out where you're going to sleep in the days after surgery. Stairs can be a challenge; couches might not allow real rest. I have found it easier and better, for me, to climb to my bed and stay on the second floor for a few days. For recipes and ideas about nutrition- protein seems to be very important to healing. Bandages, whatever, plus an antibiotic cream. To hold onto...
