If you give a mouse a cookie.....

So today I feel a little like the mouse in the book if you give a mouse a cookie, although it would probably be titled - If you give a mom a light bulb. The book would go something to this effect.
If your wonderful husband picks up much needed light bulbs at Walmart then mom will see them (while cleaning up the breakfast mess) on the kitchen counter the next day and decide to change lightbulbs in kids room before putting them away in there rightful place. But as she is changing light bulbs she will notice how dusty the ceiling fans are and begin dusting each room in the house. As she is dusting she will notice some of the dust land on a bed and realize that the sheets need to be changed and continue to go room to room till all have new sheets. While she is changing sheets she realizes she has fallen behind on the laundry for the day. She goes downstairs to the laundry room to start a load and passes another light that needs bulbs! So after laundry she grabs more light bulbs and while changing lightbulbs she notices the picture on the wall next to her needs to be fixed(thank you kids) So she will hunt around in the garage to find some more picture hangers and while out in the garage she will have to walk over some recycling (thank you kids again) and of course have to take it out to the garbage and while back inside finishing the picture - her 2 year old will whine a little and she will sit and watch sid the science kid (for as long as she can stand it) and look around the room and realize the t.v. needs dusting too!
So this is just a sample of my jumbled morning- One of those days that you get a lot done but it doesn't even look like you've done a thing! I have a love/hate relationship with those days! Of course there were more things that were done - Jocelyns room is finally clean to my standards- not hers and snacks,lunch,school,breaking up sibling quarrels and much more. But now I get to sit and sew - Yeah! maybe this day has potential..... after I start another load of laundry!:)
