Trivium Academy Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I feel like I don't have any business being here anymore. The kids will be going to a classical academy in the fall and I don't even have to afterschool b/c everything is covered, including Latin. While we've been forever changed by homeschooling, I don't have much to say about it anymore. I'm now a full-time working mom going to college who spends her 'free' :lol: time with her kids or taking care of responsibilities. The most I've been on the computer is to check my email and do a little online banking, the rest of my time has been filled with life. This board helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life- an open source of advice, funny stories and fabulous people all around. I will never forget the wax Dy! It's a good parting b/c I used this board as a crutch to deal with my life, a way to reach out and talk to others without getting too invested...now I don't need that. I can't tell you how amazing that feels. I know some are here just for advice for homeschooling, some are lonely, some are trapped in their lives and some are just so full of life they have to spread it around. Bless you all (aka best wishes, as to not offend) and I pray your homeschooling is as blessed as mine was for knowing you. I may check in from time to time but I'm sure I'll just lurk and not participate. We're doing great and there is just so much hope for the kids & I, thank you for your part in that.

You give me lots of hope for my future - and i'm so pleased that things are going well for you. Like I told a friend the other day, "i need someone to push me into doing instead of just being". You have helped push me into doing Jessica, you've given me the courage. Thanks! And do check in from time to time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wishing you all that's good and holy. Nature Girl will miss seeing Camille's work up on your blog. You and your daughter really inspired her. If she ever wants a pen pal, NG would love to write. Please stop by now and again. There are several here who don't school at home anymore, but offer sound reflections and pretty good advice, from time to time!
