My above post was joking of course - but I did want to add one note of seriousness.

I will re-arrange my life when I'm in a good groove. If it is happening at night - I stay up. Maybe not the healthiest of habits, but I can always grab a nap when the kids are at school. If it happens during the day I postpone household chores, send out for pizza and let the kids know this is a painting day or evening. I'll get one of the older ones to help the youngest with homework, etc. Bribery works well in this area. If the husband is home and he knows Im groovin he will cook or bring something home and sometimes step up and help with the kids. If he isnt - living messy til the groove is done is OK as well. There are things of course that can't be put off - like the kids band concert tomorrow night, but that's ok. I'll paint after we get home!
