I should know better

Why is it that when you have the most to do you feel the least like doing any of it? I arranged to have a whole day at home to catch up on housework, potty train, and do laundry. It is 11:30 and all I have managed to get done is getting dressed. I read the paper, made a couple of phone calls got the kids dressed, breakfast, and that is it. I have three loads of laundry and a kitchen disaster to deal with but I can't motivate myself to do any of it. Everytime I get set to get started my kids need something and btw they are creating more messes while I surf the net and work the soduku puzzle. HELP!!!!!!! I've got to get started.
