Cross Train Day!

I am feeling pretty awesome after my 20 mile run. I was stiff Sunday, but this morning I hopped out of bed at 5:30 without a problem. Daisy Doodle and I walked a mile or so and here I sit drinking my coffee... only 1 kid is up and she's happily snacking on a granola bar with "ReadySetLearn" on TV. I am trying to organize my day and I just can't figure out how I will get it all done. I need to do a minimum of 45 minutes cross training. I could do my 3 mile loop with dog when my youngest is in preschool; I could go to the gym and do the elliptical... I HAVE to go grocery shopping in the biggest of ways... My fridge is EMPTY. I cooked the last of the eggs this morning, my daughter snacked on the last of the strawberries (the only fresh food in the house) and I have waffles, but no butter or jelly or surup. I have cereal, but no milk. Forget about lunch - and since DD2 ate the last granola bar, DD1 has nothing to take for school snack... My house is a DISASTER! I need to clean everything, change sheets, dust, vaccum... The bathrooms are disgusting and the laundry keeps reappearing... I want to take down the winter curtains, put the mittens and boots away and rake the yard...The minivan is in the shop today and I need to figure out how I will get to the garage to pick it up when its ready. Oh, and my hair is in desparate need of a cut and color...

It seems like when I have too much to do, I end up doing nothing.... Like sitting here typing when I could be getting a start on the cleaning, or getting some clothes together for the kids so we can get out of here and to the grocery store. I could be making a list for the store instead of just going in blindly assuming that we need everything (but we do). It's days like today when I could use a nanny, or a housekeeper, or a personal assistant...
