Hi Tulipcrazy, I was in the corp world for a long time before I met and married my husband. I stopped working not because of getting married but for health reasons. Either way it was difficult trying to settle into the role of stay at home wife/mom. However, I have to say it has been really nice. Even though you don't work outside the home you can always use your skills working from home. Ever thought of starting a home-based biz?

I do have a home base biz. But I lost my mom in January and since then have stopped taking clients. I'm a virtual assistant but at a time ran my own day care out of my home. I guess you have to ask yourself what are you good at? What do you have experience in? Or what are your hobbies? If you go to www.ratracerebellion.com there are a lot of job postings that are done virtually that may interest you. I also use a site called guru.com You also may be surprised that you can pretty much take any hobby and make it into a home based biz. I had a friend that enjoyed making jars that contained baking mixes in them. She started making them for friends as gifts and they were so liked that she started selling them online. She has been so busy that she's had to stop taking orders for a while.
