About this.....WHEN are you obsolete??? Mine are 23 and 25 and I'm not obsolete! I've definately done something wrong!!I keep trying to get fired but thet're not having it.

LOL Being a parents to some of my adult children has been the most intense job ever . I am also trying to get fired also but the older ones are still needing me. I am hanging in there for the wild ride.

I stopped working when my oldest (of 3) was born, and since they are all technically adults, I guess I'm...um.. retired!

I worked as a shoe designer and pattern person,It got hectic at times when the sales people converged on the design room wanting something different.
I have been retired for about15 yrs and enjoying quilting and sewing.

I loved my teaching career (29 fantastic years), but retired and went back to school to become a Physical Therapist Assistant. Only work 5/10 days now!! More time for quilting! yippeeee!

But, I've now started what I'm calling "the great cleanout." DH and I are both packrats and 25 years in this house means time for some purging!!
