LLLovesCK, I was trying to encourage you.
I also stay home. I always did clerical - bookkeeping work. When my son took sick I became his caregiver, giver of medicine, in charge of Dr visits and orderer of medicine. He is off chemo and doing very well right now, but I don't think I will ever work again. I make quilts for kids. Not bed size quilts, although I do make them for my family. I also have a beagle who loves to have the ball thrown for her ALL day.
