LOL He and our relatives started using the term "beanager" whenever I was around, but then laughed very hard (they said with me, but I was not laughing). The prize at the end is that we have great kids that had the greatest gift we could give... ourselves.<BR/>:)De:)Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125871958221599655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-28827413534935082832008-07-12T14:03:00.000-05:002008-07-12T14:03:00.000-05:00*Sigh* I am right where you are and could have wri...*Sigh* I am right where you are and could have written this post myself. This is the first summer we have completely stopped schooling since we started homeschooling. With KJ being on his trip...I'm a basket case. Maybe I should drive down and we can have a good cry together. ;-)Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561106540115621467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-70324697643990058862008-07-11T06:07:00.000-05:002008-07-11T06:07:00.000-05:00Sorry you are out of spirits:(I have my oldest on ...Sorry you are out of spirits:(<BR/>I have my oldest on tape swearing he will never leave home! <BR/><BR/>HA HA!

It's hard when you put so much energy into something and then realize it will someday end, and you think, "NOW what the hell am I supposed to do??"<BR/><BR/>I focus on pride (I don't care how sinful it is). Homeschooling is sooo wonderful for me because of the sense of pride it gives me. I'm proud of my children for learning all they've learned. I'm proud that I've facilitated that learning. And one day, I can be just as proud that they have grown into wonderful, successful adults - and proud that I helped them get there. I think that pride in our children extends way beyond their childhood, forever.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are feeling a bit more upbeat and energetic.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463371508970237621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-46528000087460240002008-07-10T23:34:00.000-05:002008-07-10T23:34:00.000-05:00I seriously do not know what boredom is like.

Nope - that's simply not allowed in this house! ;-)<BR/>Alright...so maybe it will...but I'll be very sad, too. <BR/><BR/>You are giving him the very BEST right now just by being there for him, and so when Baby Boy does leave the nest, he will FLY on beautiful WINGS - thanks to you!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there Mama...it'll be okay!<BR/>(And if you're still feeling blue - I'd recommend chocolate. It always works for me!) ;-)<BR/><BR/>Michellemichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154039920240315400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-16662803819050611552008-07-10T09:05:00.000-05:002008-07-10T09:05:00.000-05:00You almost hit on what I was going to suggest.

Possibly something you want to share with him later. Or something just for you.<BR/><BR/>What's been hanging on your to do list for some time now?

I'm not where you're at in terms of teaching older kids, but I guess I'll be there soon.<BR/><BR/>But I have been in a bit of a funk for a few weeks. And I'm a raging insomniac as well. So, I'm right there with ya. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link and the kind words, too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
