Babyproofing will NEVER end!!!

So I'm trying to get ready.  Chad's at work and I'm flying solo.  We pretty much have everything in the living room and the kitchen baby proofed as long as the dog dish is up and all the doors are closed to the bedrooms.  So we let Josh watch TV (or at least I do) while getting ready. 

Well, not any more.  He went out of the bathroom, which I thought he went to go watch Mickey Mouse, but then he comes in the bathroom with a pen.  I take it away, he leaves again.  He comes back with a highlighter.  I take that away and then go to the kitchen to take out the drawer where he's getting them. 

I think "Well, surely he'll stop."  I go back to the bathroom to try and hurry and finish getting ready.  When all of the sudden I hear a drawer in the kitchen slam.  I rush to the kitchen and see a flash run behind the curtains in the living room and this is what I find:



Yeah, that's a cell phone charger he's trying to plug in.  Thank goodness for the outlet plugs! 

After that I go to the kitchen to take out that drawer and set it on top of the stove.


I rush to the bathroom, throw a few curls in my hair, but before I could even start, I hear the silver ware in the drawer clanging.  I sprint to the kitchen, take out that drawer, scold Josh, and think "Well surely he'll leave the last drawer alone."  (And yes, I can read your mind.  This blog isn't titled "How stupid is Mommy.")

And this is what it ended up looking like:

All 4 drawers out and on the stove.  I said screw the hair, threw on some clothes and sped to BabiesRUS to get some babyproofing stuff....except.....they only had stuff that you had to drill into the wood to use!  We have cheaper/thinner wood and can't do that, so I had to order some adhesive/no drill ones off the Internet.  And yes, it takes 7 days to ship.  If it wouldn't have cost double, I would have overnighted them.  I'm waiting and looking out the window every day waiting for that darn FedEx man to pull up. 

I'll try not to maul him when he brings my package.
