Life! Iwork full time, when I get home, I have to cook, and my second full time job starts, taking care of an 8 yr old boy, work on his homework, reading after that, then shower and bed. By the time I am done I am tired, I walk to my sewing room just to realize that I only want to lay down. I wait anxiously for the weekend and plan for long hours of quilting and life again doesn't let me. Someday, when I retire, I hope! Don't kill my hope than after retirement you can't still spend time withe the sewing machine!
