You are all so very lucky. Please take care of those great husbands. My husband has been gone for seven months now and I really miss him. Years ago he built me a sewing area. He made me a huge table (4'x8') to spread out patterns, fabrics or whatever I was working on at the time. He had his work shop on one side of the basement and my sewing area was on the other. We had almost 45 good years together.

Lol! Mine thought this was another of my "passing fancies"! After almost 10 years now he is resigned to the fact that it is here to stay. Every room in our house except the master has something to do with fabric in it.

My husband is also great. We were both divorced and pretty independent when we met. So he can cook, clean, etc. We have a good time working together. We just finished building a fence in our yard. We are getting ready to paint our house. We have completely remodeled our house ourselves. But, I am a quilter and he a fisherman. He knows where most of the LQS are and I know where most of the LFS (fishing) store are. He is great with color and helps with everything. I make him shirts out of fishing fabric. Then, we go to the Sierras and he fishes and I quilt while there. We stay in a motel with a big window. When he comes in from fishing we go to quilt stores, fishing stores, shopping. We have been married 27 years now and really enjoy each other and every day I thank God for him.

I try to plan days just for us to do things together but he still wants my attention constantly.

I went to co-dependence classes and learned that I didn't have to react to his actions. I taught my sons to play ball, change oil in a car etc. and I do all the handiwork around the house including remodeling the house my sons rent from me. His free time is spent by himself drinking or in front of the TV passed out. He is a diabetic with stage 4 cirrhosis and is completely happy being miserable. PLEASE don't feel sorry for me. I pretty much do as I please and have been known to tell him to put on His Big Girl panties and deal with it. Life sews on. :)

I know that he'll come home from lunch today and do the mid day mopping, because I have to work in an office today instead of at home.
It's raining here, and the new scared dogs keep going outside, where there are no people (just lots of wet mud) and with 15 dogs in the house temporarily (until some of the new ones go to their foster homes) it's a giant mess.
