Dearest Dr. Laura, 

I have been a loyal listener since 1997! Whoa! I am married to the love of my life, and we have two wonderful children together, and I am delighted to be the stepmom to his grown children. 

I was watching your recent video: Overeducated Stay At Home Mom! I was getting my Master's Degree in Gifted Education when I got pregnant with my baby girl! I never finished it, and I have no regrets. Not only am I a stay-at-home mom, but I also homeschool our little ones. It is FUN. 

I have had lots of friends, family members and former coworkers whom I taught with for years tell me I am literally wasting my life and my talents by not continuing as a teacher, and not getting my Master's Degree. Oh really? It takes one look at my little son while he plays with a circuit board or my little daughter as she sings to know, no, not wasting anything. INVESTING EVERYTHING. 

Thanks.

P.S.: What made me really giggle about your video was being your husband's girlfriend! Whenever my hubby gets home from work my daughter, 9, son, 6, and I dance around and shout, "Mommy's boyfriend is home! Mommy's boyfriend is home!" His homecoming is the highlight of our day - and he knows it. It never gets old.
