Congratulations on your husband keep his job. That must be a real relief. I saw a TV segment once on a woman whose husband was an over-road truck driver and she went with him on trips. She had the sleeping quarters of the semi outfitted with her sewing. She obviously didn't use the machine as they were going down the road but did when they would stop for the night. It was amazing how much they packed into a small space. Sometime you just "gotta do what you gotta do". Be proud that you accomplished so much and didn't let a difficult situation get in the way of joy.
