Moms (and Zorro): When you just have no energy?

i am the exact opposite of zorro and am an ADD cleaner. i start off cleaning the living room because it's a mess. i see somebody's sock lying on the living room floor (don't ask me why; there are always random socks all over my house and half the time they don't even belong to anyone in my family) so i stop cleaning and bring the sock down to the laundry room, where i realize there's a whole load of laundry that needs doing. i start putting the load in, but realize one of the kids has a toy in their jeans pocket. i put the laundry on hold while i bring the toy upstairs to the toy bin. i discover that the toy bin is overflowing with tupperware containers that the kids were apparently using as houses for the little people. i go into the kitchen to put away the tupperware and notice that somebody has tracked dirt in on the kitchen floor from outside (again). i start cleaning the kitchen floor, and come across the dog toys that are under the kitchen table. i abandon the floor cleaning while i return the toys to the living room, where the dog's toy bin is. i am shocked when i arrive there to realize what a mess the living room is. how could that be? i totally remember cleaning up in there.....
