Nothing wrong with Plan B!
|
U go girl: I know exactly what u mean. Time to just Enjoy each day with SELF. If we don't appreciate ourselves then how do we expect anyone else to enjoy our company. Time to sew and enjoy with friends. Happy Quilting Hours.
|
Enjoy the time at the quilt show and that late night quilting without having to stop until your ready.Love my DH but do enjoy some alone time now and then...
|
Enjoy! My sister and I always get excited when one or the other of our DH's travel. We can get together and quilt till we wilt.

My DH travels often on business and he now has one rule i have to follow: He has decreed "While I am gone, Nothing can be adopted that eats, drinks or breathes" He's trying to cover all his bases after 28 years of being married to me and coming home to find a new pet in the family. So i am sure he won't mind a few quilting purchases! Have a wonderful time quilting late into the night! |

In the beginning I dreaded his every absence. Now I'm just the opposite. I'm not saying I "like" my husband being away - the difference is "me". I've learned to cope with it better. Instead of constantly thinking about him and what he's doing - I concentrate on keeping myself busy. We both enjoy the "vacations" from each other, but not as much as the "homecoming". |
Have a great time!
|
Sounds like a plan to me!
|
i think that it is about what you might bring home from the quilt show and not being home alone. hehe.
|
That's how I am when my DH goes to pastors' retreat. This year, it won't happen because I'll be puppy sitting our five grand-dogs and I can't use that many helpers, only the one that lives here full time.

I do that when DH is home or away. :) Honestly the only difference I notice when DH is away is that I miss him. He says the same thing when I'm away. |

Sounds like I'm glad to see him go, but I'm not really, I will miss him.

Always nice to have them back home again too. :) |
My husband has been gone a full week on storm restoration here on Long Island since Hurricane Irene. He works for the power company. Sure I miss him, but I'm doing okay - me and my Featherweight!!
|
I hope you're able to get lots done! Have fun.
|
Have a good time. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
I think I will need to make plans to go myself. I'll just need to leave hubby home.
|
since DH retired from the National Guard. 31 yrs. I miss camp. 2 weeks every year. so I know how you feel. Love him, but some down time is good for both of you.
|
Yea! I love when hubby is away! He is leaving for a family wedding on Wed. and I just happen to have the next 4 days off. It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? Do you have any quilting friends? What about a sleepover?
|
I love playtime. Enjoy yourself.
|
Just make a big pot of homemade soup, and heat a bowl when you need it. I do this when DH is out of town too! :D
|
My ex-fiancee lives in Madison. He travels quite a bit to far off places, too. Does your DH work out on the Arsenal? That is where Marty works and where my dad workded. I remember when it took half an hour to get out there. Now it takes about 10 mins from my mom's house. So weird. It is also so weird to connect with people halfway across the country who live in my old stompin grounds! I remember when the VBCC was built! My grandfather and uncle's company did the lighting.
|
Have a great time. Sounds like a lot of fun

We have a quilt show on September 15, 16 and 17 in San Mateo, CA. I can't wait. I love going to them. I hope everyone got the free tickets. If not let me know and I will photo copy mine and send it to you. It says we can use photo copys. Send me a private message. Be sure to leave me your name and address.
|
Enjoy doing whatever you want, whatever time you want to do it.

My husband travels a lot and while we all miss him I find that the house is kept cleaner and I get a lot more done than when he's here. |
I know what you mean. You love him, but he does cut into your quilting time. I have the same problem. When he is home, I don't get any quilting done. He just gets this sad look when I say I am going to my room that I end up hanging around in the living room. Even if it is just to watch him watch the Mets.
Don;t get me wrong, I am semi retired and he is still working FT so I do get days to myself, but I now don't like holidays because it messes up my routine. I guess I am getting old and cranky |
I know how you feel. Mine is going elk hunting for 10 days or so. Time to get to some projects and just do what I want to do - when I want to do it!
|
Mine just got back from a week of fishing. Came back early ---- Unfortunately I was sick most of that week! I had looked SO forward to getting things done. I understand where you're coming from!
|
Ha! I hope you have a blast! The last time my hubby deployed I learned to quilt. This time around my goal is to finish all of the charity quilt tops I have, take a few classes and meet some of my new quilting friends from this board. Although I am dreaming of all the quilting I am going to do while he is gone I still dread the time apart.
|
Well enjoy anyway at least you can quilt all you want. Too bad the dates were wrong isn't that always the way. Sue
