Tonight we had leftover turkey casserole from last night. I think it tasted even better tonight and everyone enjoyed it. I still have two servings left so I will freeze those leftovers for when I am the only one home for dinner. I did add a fruit salad and since we polished off the broccoli last night we had some green beans.
I write for a News Website that covers the local and state news in our area. I have a column that is called Living on Less and I really enjoy writing for it. Lately I have been posting an article about every 3 weeks but I need to post at least every other week. The problem is, writer's block. I couldn't think of what to write, until last night when I was working on the Tightwad post. It came to me.
I'm going to write a series of articles about the process of deciding if a woman can afford to stay home and the steps that need to be taken in that decision making process. Since I am a woman and I have gone through this, I can only speak to women and I hope that no one thinks I am being sexist. It only makes sense to write from what I have experienced.
Last night and this morning I started to make a list of the decisions that need to be made and the process that is involved in this important decision. There are many questions a couple needs to ask themselves prior to the wife staying home full time.
Also, if it isn't possible for the wife to quit her job, then I will talk about finding happiness in your work. I had hoped to have it posted by tonight, but it is evolving into a series that will require more of my time. When it is posted, I will put up a link to the site.

Martha,
How cool is that! I would love to read your series...looking forward to it!
I think another important aspect you could add is that if a couple is getting married and wanting to start a family right away that maybe the wife should consider staying home from the start. Too many couples say "We both will work for a few years and save up money to start a family" and then they end up NOT saving money and getting used to living on two incomes and thinking they can't do it on one.
