My Hubby still works, I retired June 2nd. We worked together, rode to and from work together for 23 yr.s. Yes, you being together constantly is over rated. We have been married 48-1/2 Yr.s. When he would go serveral weekends in the summer to our cabin in the woods, about 2 hours south of here I would buy stuff and he never noticed, Daughter would help me get rid of something I no longer wanted, he never wanted to get rid of anything. After it was gone, what could he say? I use to paint walls also. He never cared about the painting, I like the way I paint more than the way he paints.
Good for all you ladies to do something you want to do while Hubby is away. Mine stays home most of the time now, I don't get much chance to change anything now.

Jingleberry, You need to MAKE time to do some of the things that you enjoy. I have been very busy while hubby was gone, but it wouldn't have stopped me had he been here. If there isn't some "me" time, things can get sticky

My husband drives a truck and is only home 4 days a month! He never knows what to expect when he gets home! This month I have totally replaced the floor in the house (the plywood) and applied vinyl floor tile. I have also painted the living room a beautiful shade of yellow called buttered bread. Its kinda bright and pale still at the same time!Next project is our bathroom. I am tearing out the cabinets and sink and putting in a pedestal sink. May be a bit of a surprise to him!

Hey, have a great time!
My two guys are going to Canada for three days and I am already starting my list of things to do. I'm including time with a close friend, lots of sewing, tv shows that only I like and some good food.
