I'm not sure some days, :lol: . But, after a surgery last year, I'm in premature menopause so that means many sleepless nights from insomnia. I also homeschool so there are some weeks when I'm teaching new concepts that I'm not in my quilting room at all! But, DH has started to teach one day a week (he has Wednesdays off) so he could be more involved in the kids' school. That means a whole day of quilting for me! :D

I know what you mean. lol My husband was telling his friends at work (that don't know me) he purchased a sewing machine as my christmas gift, and they said (knowing his age 33) How old is your wife? lol :)

I've had that, too! We homeschool as well and many times, when he hires new workers, they ask if we're Amish or Mennonite! :lol: I think it's funny. They all come around for homemade cookies and when they're sick I send in some soup so I just let their "June Cleaver" remarks slide.
