So Disappointed

Yesterday was pretty good.  So much so that Josie and I did some baking.  We haven't done that in a long time.  I'm usually just too tired or sore to stand that long.  But yesterday I made an effort.  We started with sugar cookies.  I'll admit it, we cheated.  I had a roll of cookie dough in the fridge.  I let her cut it and place it on the pan.  And then she decorated with sugar sprinkles.  It was loads of fun.  Lots of giggles.

They turned out pretty good.  Well, they should have considering it was premade dough haha.  But hey, I've been known to mess up something you can't mess up.  They were a little thin.  she didn't want to roll the dough into balls.  So since they were only about 1/2 inch thick when sliced, they were pretty thin when they finished baking.  But that's ok.  We both enjoyed some.  For some reason the twins didn't want any.

Once the twins were down for a nap and lunch was finished, we moved on to a pumpkin pie.  I had everything we needed for it left over from Thanksgiving.  And Josie has decided she likes pumpkin pie (Thanks to her kindergarten teacher).  I wanted apple pie, but since Josie said she wanted a pie she liked, that's what we went with, her pie.  And I let her do all the work.  Well, almost all.  I had to open the cans for her.  But she cracked the eggs, did all the mixing.  She even preheat the oven!  I had to put it in the oven though, didn't want to risk her dropping the pie, or worse, getting burned by the stove.

I am sad to say, I have no clue how the pie turned out.  This is where the title of the blog comes in.  No one had the chance to try the pie.  She stayed the night at a friend's house, so we didn't slice into it.  And I left the pie on the stove, back burner.  But Laney, our stupid dog, found a way to climb onto the stove and destroy our pie.  I woke up to find crust and smeared pie filling on the floor.  Josie is still at her friend's house, so she has no clue this has happened.  But she's going to be so disappointed when she finds out.  That stupid dog ruins everything.

I need to find a way to raise money to purchase a kennel for her.  I wanted so bad to not crate her up at night, but now it's either that or find her a new home.  Every night she manages to dig into the trash, or climb on the counters.  I don't get it.  She gets plenty to eat, I'm not starving her.  Just ugh I'm getting so tired of this crap!

Ok going to end this rant.  Hopefully Josie doesn't get too upset about the pie.  Not sure I have enough cash left to pie a new one (or the ingredients for one).
