LOL - I briefly considered being a time-management engineer some years ago and settled for telling computers what to do with their time :)

Good to know there are other oddities than myself out there - In every homeschool group I've ever attended I am the ONLY single homeschooling parent. Since I've always been something of a contrarian, it has been kinda fun to be an exemplar of something that others consider impossible.

Mine leaves the house for 3 months each winter to live in FL with her (horse) trainer, so I've had an early introduction to the empty nest. I find that the first week is great, followed by a week of really missing the kid, then I have no time to miss the kid due to the many things I do.

Oh my goodness. 3 months. Yeah, I haven't been away from my kids for longer than a week. My oldest son is a homebody, so he isn't the culprit. It is the teenage daughter, she is always off to camp. My son and I take off for the first day. Then back to work for the week. By Weds I am grieving for her.

This year, I am thinking of sending her to Florida for camp. So she will be gone for two weeks for two different camps. But, I will get to see her in between.

Three months. Wow.

So, I was thinking of looking at the local community college for adult education opportunities. When I was in college, I received a tutor of the year award for tutoring math and really have missed that interaction. But, helping out single parents who want to homeschool is another avenue now.
