Yep, I'm a CPA. I'm hoping I'm valuable enough to negotiate PT hours (: I would feel better about it if I'd been here longer - it'll be just 1 yr in December.

There is one small, empty office that could work - if it stays empty. There's usually someone in there during busy season, but not after that. If that doesn't work, I guess it would be the car.

When we decided I would quit to become a SAHM and have children, at that point we started living on only his income and saving all of mine.

ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BTDT...
Do your Christmas shopping in advance, so you don't have to worry about it when you have an infant. Otherwise you end up spending too much because you order online and pay shipping.
