Popular Post Pam L in Mid Tenn Posted May 6, 2016 Popular Post Posted May 6, 2016 I just submitted grades/paperwork for the last time as a homeschool mom. I cried. I have taught and graduated four kids from our little homeschool. Now aged 18 to 24. Over 20 years of homeschooling. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED :) 57 Quote

Now aged 18 to 24. Over 20 years of homeschooling. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED :) :grouphug: :grouphug: :hurray: :hurray: Cheers, and hugs. It is bittersweet, isn't it. Congratulations, Pam, on your perseverance and dedication and love for your children in providing such a wonderful education for them. :) Wishing you all the BEST for what comes next.

Pam L in Mid Tenn Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 Well... what's next is a good question. I've been working part-time for the last 5 years. I've worked 2 part-time jobs (at the same time) for 2 of those years. I'm tired. I am looking for jobs. If I stay part-time, I need a DIFFERENT job. I am applying for full-time "professional" jobs, as well. Financially, I MUST work. If I did not HAVE to work... I would still find something little to do. Now, I am actually mourning homeschooling. (And the death of a favorite aunt.) One of my daughters is graduating from college tomorrow. (The one with diagnosed learning disabilities if you've followed me here over the years.) It is just a very emotional time for me today. Thanks for the support! (Today and over all the years!) 14 Quote

DebbS Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I'll be in the same boat in about 2 weeks! I'll be continuing with my part time consulting work and hopefully have a little more time to get to some tasks that have been patiently awaiting me for years! I bet I'll cry. :grouphug: 3 Quote

kloumc Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I was in your shoes this time last year and I cried too! It is such a bittersweet time coming to the end of this gigantic accomplishment. But I am here to tell you that there is life after homeschooling!!! 1 Quote
Sherri in MI Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Congratulations! You did it! I will be in the same boat this time next year. I alternate between grief, dread, panic & joyful anticipation thinking about it. With everything you have happening at the same time, I can understand you feeling emotional!
