So.
In an effort to be a better mommy, they boys and I are starting Craft Day Wednesday. Each week we are going to plan and do something, anything that gets them away from the TV and being creative. And if my dishes don't get done, or we make a bigger mess than was there before, at least I will feel better about my role as a mother and the boys will have some fun memories.
Here is what we did today:
I have been saving cereal boxes, toliet paper rolls and scrap peices of paper - probably to the point that it is beginning to irritate Kyle (sorry, sweetheart). So, we pulled them all out with some tape and they boys created their own robots. Thet loved it. And the boys even did great helping me clean up the mess (a threat of not having Craft Day Wednesday again gave them plenty of motivation). The only small problem left is that they want to keep their creations forever. Oh well.
Here are their masterpecies:

Fun! I didn't know you felt like me. You are doing good though Michele.
Those are some serious robots! I'm very impressed!
I feel just like you do. I need to be more engaged with my kids--thanks for the inspiration!
I think we all feel that way way more often than we should or than is good for us! I think it just might go with the territory of being a mum and feeling the weight of the responsibility mothering is!
I have a feeling that you're an amazing mother so don't be too hard on yourself;)
I love your craft Wednesday idea though... I can't wait till Jacob gets a little older and wants to do the things I try to interest him for more than 2 seconds;) I love the boy's robots!
