I have been home for 7 years, and I am going nuts. How do other moms do it.

Well ladies, I am in a slum. I used to work from home as an esthetician. Then i got into a car accident which took that away from me. I do want to work from home but i don't know what I want to do. All this volunteering sounds great, but I just can't get my ass out the door to motivate me.

I have been a SAHM for 7 years too. I have my "NUTS" days too. I have a 3 kids ages 2, 4, 6. My husband thinks I am crazy because I keep adding things to my schedule to keep be from .....completely losing it as a SAHM. I volunteer at my sons school and have joined several committees at both school and church. I also signed the kids and my self up as Volunteer special friends at a nursing home near our house. I take the kids with and we visit our friend. She is always so excited to see us. I also needed a creative outlet and scrapbooking wasn't doing it so I painted the bathroom, then a bedroom, then I painted the living room and ended up painting a mural of North America on my sons wall. I also hooked up with moms from church and school who also stay home. We talk every day and make dates with the kids and without. We also share babysitting and play dates. I finally feel like I am getting the hang of staying home (almost). I just wish it hadn't take 7 years.

Hi Katherine! Do you work from home? If not, ever considered it? Maybe that will bring you some sanity and a little extra cash! I'm a SAHM to 2 kids, but only been home for 8 months, since my 2nd was born. Before that, I was in the corporate world for 8 years, so I needed something to keep me in touch with the adult community.



Now I'm a virtual personal fitness coach for Team Beachbody. If being involved in the fitness industry interests you, come check out www.choose2befit.truewealthathome.com. I'd be happy to share more great info with you!



Regards,

Taryn
