[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 41132, member: 1967"] Yes, Nomad, she has come a long way. Back in the dark days of teenage GFGdom, she would have screamed that I was Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anal-retentive for wanting the house clean. And that would have been some of the nicer things that she said. [img]:mad:[/img] So I do appreciate how far she has come. She is talking again about going back to college and studying psychology. She called me the other night while she was looking at the college course catalog and was excited because it turns out that she already has taken many of the core classes that she would need for a psychiatric degree. I told her that if she takes out a loan and does well for a semester that we would start paying her tuition again. She said that gave her a lot of incentive. Of course, we have heard all of this before but she said that she feels like she's at a dead end and just spinning her wheels. Gee, ya think??? I guess she is figuring out that she doesn't want to deliver pizza for the rest of her life. I plan to be very busy this summer. I am starting back to school for my post graduate degree ~ Education Specialist. I will be taking three classes in the month of June. Talk about a busy month! But they plan the coursework specifically for teachers so I'll still get the month of July off. After that, I will go to class every Monday evening for the school year and then take three classes again next June. That way I'll finish up in a year. Like Fran, I have many things I want to do now that I have an empty nest. I really don't understand those who feel lost and lonely when their children leave. Of course, maybe that's because my child rearing years haven't been exactly peaceful. [img]:grin:[/img] ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
