Lil Mrs. Betty Crocker....NOT

OK, well I was going to make a peanut butter pie for the neighbor behind us today. One of her dogs was killed yesterday when it got out of the house. :( AJ was being particularly inquizitive and I figured, hey, we'll have a mommy/son moment. I pulled a chair up to the counter and placed him in it after I got all 4 of my ingredients ready. The trash can was on one side of him and I was standing on the other side. No problem right??? WRONG. I leaned across him to put something in the trash and the nosey child had to see what it was. In the process he tumbled out of the chair and proceeded to bonk the back of his head right on the floor. He was majorly POed and I felt HORRIBLE!! I scooped him up and we walked for about 10 minutes for him to calm down. He had a nice red bump to show for his tumble too. Anyway, once I patched his feelings all up I finally figured it out. I pulled the back of another chair up to the side of the first chair and put him in it again. I knew he'd like watching what was going on if only I could convince him I didn't shove him out of the chair. He was not too enthused to be placed in the chair of torture again. I started juggling ingredients and he started to focus. He tasted the PB, cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped cream. Anyone that knows my child knows he loved every taste. He loved watching the blender work and giggled everytime I added the sugar and the little puff cloud came up. I poured the batter into the pie crust and thought....why not??? I put AJ in the floor and gave him the mixer part. That child sat in the floor and licked that thing CLEAN!!! He even went as far as to lick the floor when a glob made it's way off the mixer thingy. Of course many pics were taken and will be passed along to you all soon. It had to be one of the most precious days. It's a day I'll remember always. He had PB from his hair all the way down to his toes and he LOVED IT.....as did I.

Today's my first

Well, today if officially my first blog. I kind of liked the idea of an on-line diary if you will. It's a neat way to share my thoughts and the goings on of the Spears family here. The main news for today I guess would be that we are attempting to sell our house. I just saw another lady get out of her car and get a flyer. We've only shown the house 3 times and so far no bites. I have to admit that I'm ok with that for now. The new house hasn't even broke ground yet so it makes me very anxious to think that this house will sell and we'll have no where to go. I should have rug burns on my knees from praying so much but I have to admit, I was praying very vigilantly at the beginning and telling God that I would trust Him fully and whole heartedly. Well, He hit me with all He had. I failed Him again. I freaked. Now I'm actually scared to pray. I will get back to it. I'm going to have to suck it up because whether I want too or not, we're moving. Change is comming and I just have to accept that and rely on our God. Period. Please pray that I can apply what I know to my life.
