My Creative Routine

I don't really seem to have a routine to anything anymore.  My life is a bit of half-organized chaos.  I can say, however, that a few things have always remained constant to any creative process I use.  - I need a beverage, music or the television, visual references, and I prefer to work at night.  
I have always been a night owl and still prefer to work on projects at night - although, just trying to stay awake long enough to begin/finish something seems to be my latest set back.
I also have to have background noise.  I like to work on projects with music playing or a tv show.- Old episodes of Seinfeld or anything else that I can occasionally glance at.  I tend to feel more comfortable when my husband is home too.  I don't want him hanging out around my easel, but I do like it when he is around.(My workspace is in the basement which seems so far removed from my kids at night.)  If a project will fit on the kitchen table, it tends to end up there temporarily.  My "studio" is in the spare bedroom and I share this space with a shelf full of kids art supplies, my sewing machine and a guest bed (which is usually covered in fabric and supplies)  I am terrible about tossing things here and there as I work ... and my kids seem to have picked up the habit.  My creative space is often entwined with my 5 year old's creative mess.  I don't mind the creative clutter as long as I can find what I need and eventually get it put back so that I can find my supplies when I need them.
I am not really a "make it up as you go" kind of artist.  I usually have something to reference or some type of planning done before i begin projects.  Even if it is just a few swatches of color and an old postcard.  I tend to gather ideas and then get to the creating.  
I also always have something to drink. - usually coffee or wine.  Depends on my mood and what day of the week it is.  Coffee is a constant in my life that I just can't live without.  Even in my decaf days with the baby, I just love the smell and warmth of a cup of coffee.
I am in need of quiet and solitude but I can't seem to sit still if I do get a rare moment of quiet and calm.  I am inherently a high-energy multi-tasker.  It would be a stretch for me to create in quiet without music or a cup of coffee.
