    Yes please don't sell yourself short because you can not work outside the home. To run a home you need to have lots of skills. Finance person, organizer, cook, decorator, the list goes on and on.

    None of us know when or if we will be struck with an illness.

    Please take care of yourselves and nurture yourself. God has plans for you yet. Quilt when you can or just stroke that gorgeous fabric you have in your stash or dream of the quilts you will make on good days.

    God bless! I have a job but some days I would give anything to just stay home.

    No woman has ever been "just a homemaker."
    It's a fulltime job, "just" unpaid
