Here's the scenario:
You plug away at whatever it is you do in the day-time, then you come home and get on with the chores- laundry, cleaning, ironing, washing up, yadda yadda fill in the gaps for yourself...you prepare the dinner, serve it, tidy up, take whichever child to whichever activity it needs to attend, sit in the car for an hour or two reading and knitting, or dash to Tesco late opening for groceries, return home, give same child snack or hot chocolate depending on request, send it off to finish homework or watch TV quota, and at last you can relax!
You look at the clock, nearly 10 pm, hmmm, how to use the next hour before bed? You look at your sewing table...ok.... (read 'sewing chaos' for table), and then PING! lightbulb moment! you recall a pattern you are wanting to try out....
...and next thing you know its 3am, you are elbow deep in half made Log Cabin blocks, ankle deep in fabric scraps...its not even Friday, and a normal work day awaits in five hours....
Holy Jerusalem!
When will I learn NOT to begin new patchwork projects on week days after supper???

Lovely roses on your blog! Maybe you should learn to say to the child: make your own snack, I have a life too. Many household chores can also be shared, you just have to accept tehy may get done in a different way than yours.
And yes, I have forgotten time with a new project too.
I'm amazed you even have any energy left to think about waiting until eleven o'clock to go to bed. When I was working full time I often went to bed before my sons, especially once they a bit older. I'm still an early to bed, early to rise girl now. Here's hoping you survive the day!
Oh boy have I been there, just substitute either photo editing or mindless internet surfing LOL.
Girl if you're moving along without making a bunch of mistakes because your tired you don't notice the time! It just works that way sometimes...hope you've recovered now :o) Sarah
