We need to chat! My husband is a D1 Volleyball Coach :-) Coaching is not the most lucrative career (for most anyway...) ...and a crazy job with such sporadic travel and game schedules....but we did essentially the same thing as you did!

I was just passing through and through several clicks ended up here. Nonetheless I really enjoyed your story how you became a stay at home mom. The Lord honored my desire to do the same. I work at home as a medical transcriptionist and that also is a long story how he was faithful to bring me to this point. It was encouraging to see you give him glory. I noticed through your "blog roll" that Living Proof Ministries was there. I am a faithful reader of it also. Do you post there? If you do what is your posting name? I am more of a "lurker" than a poster but I read it faithfully every day, along wtih Amanda's blog. I am going to the simulcast this weekend. Can't wait!!! I know God will deliver just like he always does when that many people gather in his name!!!! Hey! I was just passing through and through several clicks ended up here.

In most instances, it is cheaper to be a stay at home mom than a working one; when you factor in gas, work clothes, eating out because you are tired, childcare for more than one child, etc... As for the economy, my gas prices went down 15 cents this week. If high gas prices are a strain on your budget, a solution would be to cut on spending, such as eating out. Hi Sara!
