my summer. by bobbi phillip.
spring/summer started kindly. reuniting gary with his estranged daughter was a perfect way to begin. shortly after, however, during her stay with us... we found she was a poser. she left. we survived. life goes on.
summer. hot and stormy. very busy.
hub. filed 4 bankruptcy on the cards he used to try to save his daughter via lawyers, basement psychologist 4 daughter, and enormous child support. now it's finished. glad that's over with. he has had impeccable credit all his life. how sad, what has happened.
which brings me to my book. sigh. it is done being edited, and gary and i are both going over it again, then it will be sent for publication. it's keeping us very busy.
july turned out to be the best month 'business-wise' that we have had so far at 'all about hearing'. wow! word is getting out.
gary's mom will be up next week to stay in our guest apartment for a week. looking forward to that.
there is a reason i save my vacation time for summers end.
1. it's cooler. 2. it gives me something to look forward to :-)
in a few weeks it will be vacation at the beach with the kids and the grandkids. i'm so excited!
then a few weeks after that it is hub's (my stepdaughter) wedding on the beach. another vacation for us where we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. yay!
i'm a weight watchers drop out.
honestly, i tried so hard and i was going nowhere. eating better makes me feel good though. and i am still watching and refuse to be down....
oh, and did i mention i'm going to be a grammy again? today i found out it will be a boy. jake will have a baby brother come january. excited!
MY COOKIE. BY GRACIE PHILLIP
I WAS GIVEN A COOKIE,
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SO I HID IT UNDER A RUG,
AWAY FROM YOU.
WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK,
I BURIED IT UNDER THE CHAIR.
BUT YOU SOON FOUND IT,
SO I THOUGHT, 'NOW, WHERE'?
I DUG AND I NUDGED,
WITH MY PAWS AND MY NOSE.
I HEARD YOU YELL "GRACIE!"
AND THEN... I FROZE.
"DON'T BURY THAT COOKIE!"
YOU SAID, MAKING A SCENE.
THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED,
THE
SO THIS LEAVES ME TO SULK,
AND WONDER... IN DESPAIR.
WHERE CAN I HIDE MY COOKIE?
WHERE? OH WHERE? OH WHERE?
