[homeschool mama]

Every time I hear the phrase, "I can't wait for school to start and my kids get out of my house." I cringe. How very sad to not have a willing heart toward one's kiddos.

I *love* having my daughter with me. I *love* being a mother and home educator. I *love* the close bond we have.

And you only have that time for just a few relatively short years. I know when the time comes for my boys to leave the nest, the Lord will provide me with the strength to let them go (and perhaps even the joy at the time although the thought doesn't appeal to me right now!)

While I've got them, I'm going to enjoy every minute.

When the last child left for college the empty nest was so difficult. After a few months of depression I took a job tutoring learning disabled six year old twins.......that kept me busy!!!

My kids are all 'growed up'.......and oh how I miss them.....every moment of every day.
