I think this is your answer. Time with your kids is fleeting. They'll be grown and on their own so quickly. What if you stayed home with them but took a few classes towards a degree? You could take night classes or even online classes. It would give you something of your own to do, keep your mind active and the bonus is you'd be working towards your 'plan B'
