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...
