I made the decision a couple of years ago that if it's not related to family or painting, I don't do it. The time that the kids are in school is my painting time -- period.
At many points in my life I have found that I only paint if I put it ahead of just about everything else, not when "I have time for it." I exercise before the kids go to school and I do the groceries with them tagging along, after school.
Painting is my "job" and I plan my time around it like any working mother would.
