Since DH just got a new position that makes more money and has better hours, he's seriously considering me staying home now. Big change, because he used to hate his job so much that he wanted me to keep working but him stay home.

Anyway, this is a whole new direction I hadn't really even thought about. So a few questions:

1. What's a normal type of routine?

2. How do you get anything done with a clingy kid? Peter is the type who literally holds my hand as I walk room to room. I don't have to play with him; he just doesn't want to be left alone.

3. How do you keep yourself connected with other adults?

4. (This one isn't about staying home, per se, but something I worry about) How do you grocery shop with more than one kid?!

Thanks, all! We're working the budget to see if we can make this work and still have our house paid off in three more years or so.
