Beef Jerky, Perhaps?

Good Gravy! Whoever said children were a blessing either never had any or it's been a while since they've spent any amount of time with them. Look, I've got 4 kids and yeah their great, I guess I'll keep them, but I'll tell you, It didn't take me long to figure out why some species eat their young. Oh I know, Your probably thinking why'd I have 4 of them then. I dunno, but you'd think after all I've paid my psychiatrist she'd have figured that out by now! Okay Okay, I jest. I guess, in all honesty, I had them out of sheer ignorance. I mean, if I had known how difficult it would be maybe things would be different but hey, they're mine so I"m gonna pull myself up by my bootstraps and git 'er done.
But I'll tell you there are some days I could just string them up. Don't get me wrong I have some really great kids but they are still kids and sometimes I really wonder why God gave me 4. I mean it's not like I have the patience of a saint. Like when they are all screaming at me at the same time for some reason or another and screaming at each other when their thoughtful enough to give me a reprieve. And why is it they ( the youngest 2, Tristan just turned 4 and Gianna is 2 1/2) have to follow me to the bathroom, stick their nose in the crack of the closed door and breath heavily? That's enough to give anyone stage fright! Oh the joys....
Ya know I've been telling my children since birth I'd like to skin them and make beef jerky outta them, and it worked till my oldest ( Krystallynne is almost 11 now) finally came back with "But Mom, What would you do with the bones?" eh hum! Say what? Fine, so I say it alot, and I'm still looking for a pan big enough, but I don't think they'll fit in my oven anymore.
So.... For now...
Beef Jerky Anyone?
