Too many distractions from writing

Have you ever sat back and considered just how many things there are that can distract you from actually getting any work done?

Working at home it is a hundred-fold worse, because there are all of the distractions of home that one has to contend with in addition to the distractions that one can find. Even as I type this I am being distracted by the movie that my dad is watching on the television. And then there is the knowledge that we need to get ready to go to town, and the thoughts that I should get the bills all in order for the month, the unfinished quilt I am working on, and the thoughts of wanting to work on things for the garden...

Yeah, lots of things that can distract someone from writing. On top of it all is a need to take my dad to his monthly VFW meeting this evening. I plan to use the half hour that the meeting is in session to work on the finalization of the novel that me and my co-writer are working on. I had set a deadline of having that finished off by ten tonight so her and I can get back to the serious writing on it.
