"Where do I begin?"

I walked into the kitchen this evening to be greeted by a load of clearing up 
. I muttered ¿Dónde empiezo? to myself and then I thought, would that be what a native Spanish speaker might say in that situation?
Any thoughts on whether what I said might be seen as natural Spanish and what other phrases might have come to mind. (Oh No! would probably work in both languages 
)

¿Y por dónde empiezo? Here it´s important the use of the preposition ´por´, becasue you begin ¨por algo¨:

Yes, I like that. Rolls nicely off the tongue and I do get the need for 'por'although I would not have thought of it. Thanks. - Jespa, Jan 13, 2010
