I put the boys down for their afternoon naps with the intention of resting myself...in front of the TV, with a book, taking a nap who knows. I take a seat on the couch and notice a crumb on the floor from morning snacks. I get up to pick it up and realize that there is a little trail. I decide to sweep it and notice a couple spots where Davis dribbled his milk so I grab the swiffer to mop the mess. Well, I have the swiffer I may as well do the kitchen. But if I mop the kitchen I should clean the counters first. I should empty the dishwasher and load it with the items in the sink from breakfast, this dish towel is dirty I should put it in the laundry room. Oh, look I can do a load of towels, I guess I should fold the cloths in the dryer. You get the picture I am sure.
Once I am done I think...wow I need to sit and have a little down time. Right, I just spent the last two hours cleaning and now the kids are waking from their naps. As soon as they get up the mess begins again and after I put them to bed I find myself doing the same routine. I need to find a hobby.

Hey, at least you have a necessary habit and enjoy what most of us hate. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your boys inherit that trait from you!
