Tornado Season

You know...it is tornado season here in Texas. I just had no idea that it would happen inside my own home. This is not a weather system that I experienced. It is a 2 and 3 year olds path of destruction. OK, so here is what happened. I work from home one day a week (the hardest day of the week for me I might add). I am on the phone with work as that is a major part of my job function. My kids are upstairs playing happily. I think..."that is good. There is nothing that they can get into trouble". All doors are locked to any room they should not go in. WRONG! I go upstairs to check on them and the tornado has hit their room. I find my "EASTER" box that was ready to go to the attic completely torn apart. The have broken several ceramic eggs within the box. So I begin to pick up the room...screaming at them I might add. Then I find a little box...another little box...and another. What is this, I ask? OMG!!! It is the lightbulbs I had brought upstairs earlier to replace in the boy's rooms. There is shards of glass everywhere!!! Both of their feets have tiny cuts and there is drops of blood on the mattress and carpet. OUCH! How could they not cry as they are cutting their feet! I am so lucky that they did not try to eat any of it. I should be happy at this moment that they did not get hurt, but I have to tell you that I have STEAM coming out of my ears! I am furious. If I had owned a camera that worked, I would post the picture for the sake of understanding this mess. All I could do is have them sit in TIME OUT while I clean it up which they did without argument. I think they knew I had met my limit for the day. I manage to cut up my feet a little bit, but I finally get it cleaned up. Let's pray the vacuum works the same after this disaster. I don't know what it is...I just can't work from home in peace. I have to keep my eyes on them at all times. It is NEVER a dull moment!
