Teaching is addictive. The opportunity is great and so is the downside. I traveled the world when my six kids were young. I didn't stop (for the most part) until my youngest was 16. She's now 40 and I'm still dealing with "issues."

I'm now 75, you'd think we could move past that but a couple of them have not.

In retrospect. I should have put them closer to the top of my priority list.
