butterfly--I just keep moving. I cover a lot of distance in a day--helps me sleep better. :wink:

Wake up (5:20 am)--head to the barn--teach--get home and back to the barn--do school work--maybe quilt--head to the barn-maybe quilt--bed (9:30-10:30). On the weekends, the teach is replaced with more barn trips-quilting plans- and photos. Quilting may not happen Mon-Fri. It's a good life! :-D

The mothering need is way down. I'm enjoying that. I'm resting up for grandmotherhood. ;)

:lol: Well, breakfast is after chores, before my shower. If I have 5-10 min extra in the morning, I can sew or pin something (I did much of the TIC then). I eat lunch while I'm grading papers at school, so I don't have to bring too much home. Dinner is usually quick--so I can eat and check out the forum.

Hubby and I have lots of time together--we cherish the privacy when the kids are gone. :wink: We're going out for dinner tonight.

I text/email my kids when they're away. Rachel was just home for over a week and we had lots of fun--she'll usually come out to the barn to hang out with me, and Justin spends more the time with his fiancé', so that part is easy.

I call it stealing moments... you can squeeze a lot in where you might choose to be idle.

Talking on here is my down time... I'm sitting at least. ;)
