I am sure we talked about this already over lunch :) But it does reach out and wow me again as I read your words.

So, technically, you're still in the stage where you can "quit whenever you want!"<br /><br />But I hear ya - after years of college and career being surrounded by people and opportunities to get snaps for what I did, I still have major validation withdrawal. And it's still potent, even after 12 years of being a full time mom. <br /><br />Homeschooling amplifies this because we work hard to plan and do such amazing stuff with our kids and we have daily (okay, weekly) learning epiphanies!!<br /><br />And nobody ever sees them. <br /><br />That's tough to take when you've been conditioned to getting external rewards. I, too, have been trying to let God rewire my messed up self- esteem apparatus. I'm a painfully slow learner, though!Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073388874370843409.post-9383781326918214832011-12-16T08:30:21.164-05:002011-12-16T08:30:21.164-05:00We are so much alike.We are so much alike.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892029457490561611noreply@blogger.com
