interesting query! i am a registered nurse, my husband construction engineer. when my son was in school, i stayed home to be w him. we traveled to jobs for years, until we decided the freq change of schools was difficult for our "Difficult Child". but after what seemed like a lifetime of never stopping, to suddenly sit at home while the son was in school all day, iwell ...i wasn't real happy. i accepted a part time position in a fabric store when offered as i was, once again, in going thru patterns & fabric for clothing for my growing guy. it was at a jo-annes before the company started buing up all thier competition & was still a wonderful little place to shop. i loved it! meeting people who loved to sew, create & quilt as much as i did! and the discounts were nice bonus. so...go for it. so much less stressful than my other day job was before i stayed home. i think you might enjoy a part time position in a walmart fabric department. just don't be too adept, they'll send you to departments a lot less fun
