iS iT NaP tImE yEt?

A play by play of my day so far...

6:30am - I hear a little voice from the boys bedroom.  I decide to ignore it.
6:40am - The voice is now accompanied by banging on the wall.
6:41am - I tell the chicken in question to go back to bed.
6:42am - All is quite.
6:44am - I hear "Dadddy.  Doggy.  BEAN!!!!" from the boys room.
6:45am - Again, I decide to ignore it.
7:00am - my alarm goes off and I think to myself...."there has to be some kind of gag that is safe to use on small children..."
7:10am - Im making breakfast and ask the little chicken in question to get off the counter.
7:11am - Chicken number 5 throws himself kicking and screaming on the floor.
7:12am - The first time out of the day.
8:11am - CN5 is climbing on my dresser.
8:12am - Second time out of the day.
8:20am - CN5 starts getting canned goods out of the pantry.
8:21am - First warning.
8:21 and 30 seconds - Third time out for little CN5
8:25am - CN5 brings me the lotion bottle and has lotion all over himself.
8:31am - fourth time out (slightly delayed b/c of the lotion clean-up)
8:45am - snack time.
8:53am - walk in to discover CN5 has emptied his "nack" all over the floor and is stepping on the poor little goldfish grinding them into the carpet.
8:54am - you guessed it....fifth time out
9:01am - walk into the living room to discover CN5 dripping water from his sippy cup onto CN6.
9:03am - What we call "reflection time" really, just a extended time out so Mommy does not pull her hair out.
9:20am - I sit down to write my lovely fans a blog and all of the sudden peace and quite...
9:25am - I walk around the house trying to find CN5
9:27am - I find CN5 on the counter with his arms in the air counting "...one....two..." I grab him right before he tries to jump.  It seems I have a suicidal chicken on my hands.
9:43am - I finish my blog, post it and am wondering to myself..."Why did I give up coffee?"
