Oh, I am not allowed to paint! I painted a small project when we were first married and that sealed the deal. My husband doesn't paint either, so we hire a Painter.
My husband is often away at meetings and has always worked away on contract work so sewing has been my sanity. Plus I get to do my own thing, "while the cats away the mice can play", like eating what you like and going to bed when you please. I too have always been very independant, have had to be.

I reluctantly agreed. He left to go trucking. That weekend when he got home the living room had the most beautiful light beige wallpaper.
This is just my personal opinion but I think togetherness is highly overrated. LOL I guess I'm just way too independent.

My husband used to go hunting and fishing. Now he stays home and drives me nuts. We all need alone time.

I loved having some time alone when my husband had to go away for a couple of days with his job. I could eat when and what I wanted to and sew as much as I wanted without interruptions. Now he's retired and always there. What do other ladies do? Can't get anything done anymore.

Don't our hubby's just love us! Before I became disabled, and I would have a day off, and I have asked hubby to do something big, like cut the wall out, to make built in shelves. and he would not do it. well on my day off, I would do it. He use to tell me he was going to get me a baby sitter when I had a day off. :lol: God bless. Penny

My husband is leaving for 2 weeks to go sailing around the San Juan Island in Washington state. At least that is how long he said he'll be away. The last 2 times he has gone he didn't last a week either time. He gets home sick. I get pissed because I had plans. I love him dearly but come on it is only 2 weeks. He hopes to retire in a few years and I'm worried because I'm afraid he will become my shadow.

Too bad you live so far away!!!! We could have helped each other with "Hubby's away" projects. I am redoing the studio, and painting in the living room, hall, and dining room. Lots of construction and destruction going on while he is gone. I am so excited, I can hardly wait.
