Busy Morning Nothing Done

Gah, do you ever have mornings where you feel like you've been busy but you don't feel like you got anything done?

I think the key is clothing. Even if you do a lot before noon, if for some reason you're still in your jammies, it feels like all is for naught.

Why am I not dressed? Because I planned to exercise before I showered.

But I timed breakfast and baking bread badly, so I didn't have a good exericse window. And then when I had one, redirecting children to chores and cleaning up cat poodoo redirected ME. And now it's almost noon, I still haven't showered and dressed, and I feel like I haven't done a thing.

So in a futile exercise in making myself feel better, here are some things I HAVE done ...

drank coffee and wasted time
changed diapers twice
nursed several (bazillion) times
got all the kids dressed in matching orange shirts with the idea of going blueberry picking
found a new recipe for peanut butter pancakes and made it
made pumpernickel bread
washed the dishes from baking
cleared the table after breakfast
directed kids in chores (some still in progress)
cleaned up cat poodoo
took first load of bedding to wash
refrained from putting cat in washer with bedding

I'm blogging now because needy buzz is nursing yet again. I don't know why.

After this I'll scoop and mop the basement, and then shower and start lunch and maybe then I'll feel like I did something.

Sigh.

here's the pancakes, though ... the kids liked them. The bread is pretty, too, but no pix yet.
