I find interruptions when I am on the computer, paying bills, etc really annoying. I find myself raising my voice at the kids more often than not. But - when I am painting I am not bothered by anything. If I answer anyone it's almost a whisper. Mostly I can ignore everyone and they eventually go away. If the kids are arguing...they eventually stop. No one has been hurt yet! They run to answer the phone so I dont have to worry about that. It's a 'zen' type of state I get into when I paint - it's just so peaceful nothing bothers me. Sometimes I have hell to pay afterwards, but the family is pretty supportive and doesn't complain much if I forget something.
