It must be very strange, and I feel for you. But I do hope you continue blogging.

And I will join in with the rest who have requested that you please keep blogging!<br /><br />So, perhaps, strictly speaking, you aren't a homeschooling mom anymore. But I think, that, often, as part of this homeschooling journey, we start to realize that "learning" is not something that only takes place within a classroom. Learning and discovering can in fact be a source of joy and fun. We become lifelearners, who develop new interests and learning passions. Perhaps now, you will have a chance to explore some more of your passions. Community theatre? Piano lessons? Pick up a new language? Who knows!<br /><br />I hope that you will keep us all up-to-date on all of your (and your family's) thoughts, musings and adventures!Jennifer in Vancouverhttp://excellentadventuresof3kids.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-47066607253009221882009-12-16T14:17:00.334-06:002009-12-16T14:17:00.334-06:00LOL!

I am pretty hopeless at keeping up my blog on a regular basis let alone just posting about homeschool stuff. I used to document everything, these days Im far too relaxed. Hehe! <br /><br />Oh and I see if you keep posting Rebel promises to do so as well. So there is some incentive for you!<br /><br />Hugs and smoochies xoxoxkarismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-41332290085453384742009-12-16T00:13:34.487-06:002009-12-16T00:13:34.487-06:00Well I'm not there yet, but I believe once you...Well I'm not there yet, but I believe once you have made the choice to homeschool you are always a homeschooling mom. And yes I intend to keep telling myself that even when the boys are loading up in their car and heading off to a life that doesn't involve mom catching everything they do. <br /><br />Your house has been established as an educational haven. So whenever Baby Boy faces a road block in his college classes he will know he can go to his resourceful mother; who can track down tons of materials that will help him better understand the subject he is taking. <br />Good luck to him! And enjoy watching all your hardwork pay off!Rholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563042593918868331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-21334874924787563852009-12-15T14:33:11.256-06:002009-12-15T14:33:11.256-06:00Of course you still have much to give to the homes...Of course you still have much to give to the homeschooling community. You've <i>gotten</i> Baby Boy to that shiny point on the horizon that we've all been struggling towards. You're there, and let me tell you sometimes I really need to know that it's possible to make to that bright point on the murky horizon.<br /><br />Additionally, you've always been more that just yet another homeschool mom with a blog. You're a blog friend with much to say (even when if it's not always profound), and a damn good one at that.Obi-Mom Kenobihttp://www.obimomkenobi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-734756483044940652009-12-15T12:53:22.944-06:002009-12-15T12:53:22.944-06:00I have been there and didnt' know how to do it...I have been there and didnt' know how to do it.

My daughter will be starting high school next year and your posts (and archives) have been a blessing – just to see how a homeschooler with older kids navigates the journey helps provide a sense of "okay, we can do this."<br />Clean house, dazzling smile... just be who you are! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116521388436228742.post-79760647438443076992009-12-15T12:37:27.204-06:002009-12-15T12:37:27.204-06:00Lyssa is still learning, but I am not teaching her...Lyssa is still learning, but I am not teaching her.<br /><br />I identified myself as a homeschooling mom forever... it was a weird transition for me to try to figure out who I was supposed to be now.<br /><br />I still don't know.<br /><br />But I'm still blogging.

That was my main identity for 7 years.

When I finish homeschooling my youngest I will most likely back to work. I have a nursing degree and I am sure I will need to work to help get them both through college. <br />Tell Baby Boy I said good luck on this next adventure in his life and to enjoy each moment because they go by too fast.momofboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138744476209174513noreply@blogger.com
