The things I do to keep myself from painting:

Surf the internet looking for great crafting ideas, home decorating tips, ways to make my own detergent from scratch, see what all the past winners of America's Next Top Model are doing today.

Surf the internet looking at everyone else's work, and comparing.

Listen to my children having an altercation 2 flights below me. Get involved instead of letting babysitter handle it.

Get distracted by the TV on in the background for noise (to cover sound of children).

Sleep.
