I said Grammer not Grandma!

I sat in my tub and took a deep breath. �Mmmm.� The bath water had a tea-like hue from the sachet filled with herbs and salts floating around. Little Bo sighed in a very obvious �I�m bored,� tone. She had her head propped on the edge of the tub, giving me her saddest begging expression. �Puppy, go lay down.� She licked my cheek and yawned, making it a point that I knew she was not moving until I got out of the tub. I splashed her with some water, wiped my hand dry on the towel that was draped over the side of the tub and reached for my book again. I was at a very interesting part, where the villain was coming up with a scheme that would surely destroy the beloved hero. My phone buzzed. It was a text message. Yup, I take my phone everywhere I go now. It was a joke. �Knock Knock.� I responded, �Who be knocking on my door?!� �Olive.� �Olive who?� �Aren�t you glad I didn�t say banana.� I texted back, �I love you too.� I have the greatest best friends. I got another call from a friend I haven�t heard from in years. He�s doing well, thinking about being single�.again. He can think about being single all he wants, but if he�s going to keep going back to this person then what�s the point?
I got out of the tub and proceeded to rub cocoa butter on my belly. I couldn�t help but notice how cramped and sore I felt. That�s when I felt it. It was a tickle, almost like a flutter that sent me into giggles. �What are you doing in there?� My baby moved. I called Mike. �You�ll never guess what just happened!� �What?� �I think I felt the baby move!� I think he may have been more thrilled then I was. After our chat, I turned on the television and there was a game show on. The host asked, �Who sang Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs on the sitcom Frasier?� I blurted out, �Kelsey Grammer.� The dog went nuts. Jumping and barking and doing little flips in the air. Oh crap�I said grammer, now the dog thinks I said grandma. After a full hour of her excitement I had to take her to grandmas. Typical.
