I get papers published because I have nothing to do except spend all day in the office doing research and all evening at home doing heraldic stuff. I'm incredibly lucky in that doing my job (the bliss of being paid to do research full-time is still something I'm marveling at) also coincides with spending time with my husband; his desk is just on the other side of the office. And when I'm wrapped up in my heraldic stuff in the evenings, he's wrapped up in his programming stuff, but our computers are an arms' reach away.
I know that when we do finally have children, I'll have to get out of habit of keeping college-student hours (going to bed between midnight and 1am, stumbling out of bed bleary-eyed between 9:30 and 10:00), but I am hoping that we can plan things so that I don't have a full teaching load (or only afternoon/evening classes) when children start to arrive, so that at least for a few years (until they go to school) we can keep them on our schedule. Because otherwise, I have to confess I'm terribly afraid that turning in to a morning person for the sake of children is going to turn me into a monster.
