The husband is going to the high school basketball tournament out of town for 4 days. Guess what I'm going to do? I have my quilting project all ready to go. I layed in a supply of non cooking meals and snacks. The husband never understands why I get so excited about being alone. He wants to know what I am going to do all alone. He just doesn't get it. Just the chance to sew and not having to stop in time to get dinner on, turn the music up full blast so I can hear it over the hum of the sewing machine. Eating when I'm hungery not because it's 6 o'clock. Stay up as late as I want and not worrying about getting up early to do my normal day things. This is my mini retreat once a year and I love it. ( and i am actually excited to see hubby when he returns)
