The
Everybody Loves Raymond
star already has another
project - spending more
time with her family.
After nine seasons playing
Debra Barone on Everybody
Loves Raymond, Patricia
Heaton is overcome with
emotion that it's all over.
"I'm surprised," she
admits. "I thought I'd
be more prepared."
While the Ohio native, 46,
is sad to leave her sitcom
family behind, she is
excited about spending more
time with her own clan: husband David hunt and
sons, Sam 11, John 9, Joe 7
and Dan 6. "There is a
sense of wanting to just
focus on family for a
while," she says. "I
would really like to stay at
home."
Sex and Humor:
On a regular day, it's 9:30
or 10 before I get into bed. If my husband has
his Breathe Right strip on
his nose, I know I don't
have to worry about having
sex with him. But if
he doesn't have the strip
on, it's like, 'One more
thing
to do before bed!"
More time with Family:
"I spend as much time with
my kids as any mom who
stays home. I only
work
during the hours they're at
school, but there is always
the sense of trying to
catch up with all their
stuff and not only
organize my work life but
also
their school lives."
"My kids are learning their
multiplication tables, which
is the most painful
thing I've ever gone
through!"
Strange Souvenir:
Is there a souvenir you'd
like to take from the set?
"I have these very sort of
big, ugly bathrobes that I
wore to cover myself up
when I was pregnant, and I
think that I'll have to take
one of those with me."
