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.
I'm on almost 2 months now (from right after Christmas) and counting ...
She sends me pictures and text messages from her cellphone, pictures and email from her laptop, and we talk every day about her ~schoolwork~ and her riding. She also emails me things she writes, scans artwork and pictures of her physics experiments and other work she does, so I get to see and comment on her work. We remain close even tho separated by 1100 miles, so it's not too bad.
