I am about be a stay at home mom and you have articulated everything I've been thinking. I'm looking forward to being home, but at the same time scared to death that I'll be bored, lonely, and unfulfilled. If you have an update on where you're at now, that would be awesome.

Conrats on yours. And Dana, I don't know if I'm the only one but I've had lots of trouble accessing your site these last several days.

I know you've longed to be a SAHM for awhile, and it's fabulous! I look forward to reading more about your adventures! And, thanks for guest posting for me! It means a lot to me. I didn't plan to drop in until later but curiosity got the better of me -- and I love what you wrote! Your post is excellent!

So that's probably the first "assignment", finding the flow of your day so you get some stuff done that you need to get done and some stuff done that you want to get done. Then you'll start finding out what makes you crazy, and how many days it takes to get there :) With all the crazy changes in my life since the baby was born (mat leave, back to work, done with work, move cross country, temp housing, real house, unpack house) I’ve just started feeling like I can find some kind of routine.
