Life After Homeschooling

If you read my profile on Blogger then you'll see that my kids are now grown. One problem with retiring from homeschooling is that your kids were the meaning of your life during the homeschooling timeframe! I mean, every day was all about the kids. Now that they are grown they really don't want to be the center of my universe anymore! :)

Becoming superfluous is a little sobering. When did they stop really needing me? Do they realize that I still need them? I have a really good relationship with both of them, and they call me often but I have to stop myself from being too nosey. Of course I am too nosey anyway. I think they understand this about me and just roll their eyes. Heck, maybe they talk to each other to complain a little. Who knows? I sure as hell don't want to know!

My school stuff keeps me busy but the kids-at-the-center-of-my-universe thing is still there at the back of my mind. Hmm, maybe one day I'll have grandkids and make THEM the center of my universe. Of course they "may" end up a little spoiled...
