Children For Sale

I think I'm ready to sale my children. Granted I've only had them for a few short years, but lately Zade has become "The Beast" more so than lovable "Zado the Potato". This morning alone he has turned the cooler on letting water run out, took a DVD out of the player while it was playing, dumped a box of cereal out on the table and broke a bottle of vinegar in the kitchen. I'm sure there is more, oh yeah, pulled toilet paper off the roll. I feel like our space here is so confined, and that should aid me in herding them. But I fail. When all this other stuff happened, of course, I was on the phone. Mothers being on the phone is a sign to children to do everything bad they've ever thought of. Either Mother on the phone or a Mother nursing. My sister commented this morning that she overheard her 2 year old say to his older brother as she sat down to nurse the baby, "Yea, we can go play!" "Play" being code for do whatever we want because Mom can't get up to stop us.
To top my morning off, I locked myself out of two our our bedrooms. One room was my bedroom and the other was the room we use for the water cooler. I have to do this to keep Zade out now, because he can reach the handle now. Our doors here have handles instead of knobs, unfortunately. Zade can get into everywhere now. I usually lock the doors, but I usually have the keys. For some reason Blasen stuck them in his pock this morning and left town for the day. He told me just to go buy some bottled water, not realizing that 1) my purse, therefore money was locked in our room and 2) I was still in my pajamas. Fortunately for us, there was an extra set of keys in his office and Scarliet, the administrative assistant was still there today. She came over and the keys worked.
Needless to say, both of my children WILL be taking naps today...or they may get sold.

P.S. Zade just unplugged the computer...making my screen dim. He's so thoughtful.
