DH left this morning for a camping trip they call Boy's Weekend. I have now 4 days of peace and quiet! Maybe I can get something done!

DawnMarie 07-21-2011 11:15 AM

I envy you. Peace & Quiet....

I love having my DH around, but sure wouldn't mind him taking a boy's camping trip. Lucky you --- Enjoy :!:

Kooklabell 07-21-2011 12:33 PM

Ah, my hubby does that in February/March - sure love the quiet! My house stays clean for more than 2 minutes. AND, I get to watch movies I like!!!!

Enjoy!!!!

I wish my DH had been invited....I would give anything to have a few days to my self!!

ptquilts 07-21-2011 01:44 PM

I could watch a musical (VHS) without DH fast-forwarding through all the songs...

BluegrassGurl 07-21-2011 01:46 PM

I love my DH..... but also relish some "me" time every now and then.

I hope you do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it. Enjoy!!

dakotamaid 07-21-2011 02:13 PM

Turn up the radio, set some chocolate by the machine, get off this board and get to work!!!!:)

mizkyp 07-21-2011 03:02 PM

I am sooooooo jealous. 4 days of doing anything you want. Hmmmm...icecream for dinner, movies with popcorn, quilting, quilting, staying up late, sounds wonderful.

maryb119 07-21-2011 03:08 PM

I love the weekends that my DH and sons go to Omaha for a guys football weekend. I sew late and have ice cream for supper if I want to. Enjoy your time.

I'm picturing the kerplunk as that's exactly what I would do!

Kimkankwilt 07-21-2011 03:31 PM

haVE FUN GETS LOTS OF SEWING DONE

Quiltinggma-nc 07-21-2011 03:42 PM

Lucky you. Enjoy the time doing what you want.

denise d 07-21-2011 04:01 PM

I would love some quiet.

Hubby is not so bad, but those kids of mine... they sort of ruin the serene atmosphere I often long for. I guess that is what I get for having 2 boys 17 months apart. ;)

jeaninmaine 07-21-2011 04:03 PM

Lucky you, every time my hubby has told me he is going to Boston to visit his sisters for a long weekend he comes back home the next day. It drives me nuts because I'll have all these plans and then he comes strolling in the door. I love him but a few days to myself would be terrific. I could sew and quilt and quilt and sew and maybe spend a few seconds doing housework and then get back to quilting. I wouldn't turn the TV on once the whole weekend, no Law & Order reruns.

mamaw 07-21-2011 04:15 PM

If they only realized how good a "boys weekend" is for the woman of the house.....they probably wouldn't enjoy it so much hee,hee.

sandraa 07-21-2011 05:02 PM

no cooking, no cleaning, just quilting. Lucky you. I have family coming...6 kids..3-16 yrs, 2 moms and gramma and grampa all for great gramma's birthday. Boy is she going to be surprised.

luvTooQuilt 07-21-2011 05:17 PM

Love the days when hubby is away.. I can clean house and turn up the music and stay up all night quilting!!!!

Enjoy your free time!!!!

QuiltingNinaSue 07-21-2011 05:47 PM

Call up a quilting friend and go shopping!! Eat out, and chill without having to get up and "assist" your dh all the time. Have fun!!!

DH and 2 teenage sons leave for Boy Scout camp this Sunday and do not come back until the following Saturday. No cooking, cleaning, or adhering to their schedule. I plan to dye cotton, travel to Madison WI to work with another dyer for a few hours and dye some silk scarves and shawls. FUN...fun. Enjoy your time too.

Dianemarie 07-21-2011 09:58 PM

Yahooooooo ! my DH was only gone a few hours today and I loved the quiet ! I got alot of paperwork done and when I'm finished next week I'll get to sew/quilt.

BETTY62 07-21-2011 10:00 PM

Enjoy your mini vacation!

Launie 07-21-2011 10:29 PM

LUCKY! I would love that....

Cheri_J 07-22-2011 04:56 AM

I love my husband to death, but I really really like it when he leaves for a while. I love the peace and quiet and my alone time.

Roberta 07-22-2011 05:37 AM

I'm about to end 6 weeks of peace and quiet and quilting but DH is due home Monday from his work in VT. Enjoy your time!

Iamquilter 07-22-2011 05:45 AM

Be carefull what you wish for, someday he may not be around.

KwiltyKahy 07-22-2011 06:18 AM

Oh I did not take it at all that way and I do not think she wishes that at all.

:cry:

My DH goes to computer convention in Dallas in August. He decided it would be to hot to go this year. Now..How am I going to get anything done with him under foot? Guess I will put his cute little fanny to work. LOL

Pam B 07-22-2011 07:02 AM

Don't you just LOVE weekends like this?!! I hope you enjoy every minute of it!
