Hi Pat,

I live by Michele's advice. "If it doesn't have to do with my family or painting, I don't do it"

I love that!!

And everyone is surviving around here. As I am writing this on my laptop my husband is ironing his own dress shirts right next to me. Of course having a family who supports my decision is priceless!!

The house isn't as clean as it use to be (I was a little over board in that area anyway) and meals aren't gormet dinners everynight but everyone is healthy and the kids aren't complaining about pizza.

I'd say enjoy yourself, this is important. The things that can wait, will. The things that can't you will find room for.

Good luck to you and congratulations.
