Hi,

I'm Jenn. I have a 7 yr old and an 10.5 wk old..both boys. I just recently decised I was going to stay home. Haven't told work yet..in a few more weeks I will. Still getting disability pay...I am finding it quite hard to be home all day. Seem to clean and clean but nothing ever stays clean, hehehe! I have been trying to get out a few times a week. Especially since I have an older child and if I don't get him out he will drive me batty..

Welcome!!!

Jenn

Hi-

You might want to try checking out if the library system near you, or alternatively Amazon, have some books that interest you about SAHMing. I have, like, 5 here at home in preparation for staying at home with my son. They all have big sections on this exact question that you are asking "how to stay sane". If you don't get an in-depth response on this board, I would definitely try reading. Your library system may have an on-line catalogue that you can check (and order from). If nothing else, check out Amazon & buy some stuff used (these aren't expensive books!)
