I think we all get side-tracked while working on projects from time to time. I do this with cleaning/organizing my house too. I get the blahs and don't want to do nothing - those are the days me and the kiddos veg in front of a good movies or play board games and have great fun. Sometimes we just need a break from the 'have tos' in life and take a day to do nothing much.
I have a new routine that I just love. I am finding that by getting up a bit earlier each morning and doing some sewing/cleaning/organizing I am getting more done than I would by trying to do it in the evenings when I feel that I am taking away from my time with the kiddos.
