Oh, my husband was a salesman for a big pharmacutical (? hmm - now I can't even spell it) company, and covered 7 states. He would leave town on Monday morning and get home late on Friday night. We did that for over 20 years. Now we are retired except for some occasional part time work, and we are really enjoying it. We sure used to pack a lot of fun into weekends. It created a lot of fond memories, but I am sure glad those days are over.

As much as we need the $ I still hate it. But he's done this all our lives so I am used to it. So I take this time to quilt and do things with the kids. They get to take turns sleeping with mom...they sleep wonderfully...mom not quite as good ;-). Even the 14yo lines up for her turn! And we watch movies till late at night and just cut up. I also get lots of quilting done in this time. Gotta keep myself busy!
