Well I don't know if I should be elated or disappointed.  Our vendor hall this year is soooooo sparse, our used curriculum sale had nothing I needed and so far I haven't been sucked into any of the keynote speakers books - yet - actually workshops start tomorrow so that is to be determined.  We will see how I hold up LOL.  I guess G-d knows the situation of my checkbook better than I do and He is making it so easy this year to just not spend any money.  I guess I will be ordering everything that I truly needed online.  

What is new this year is that my 1ds11 is joining us and I pray that it lights a fire under him and gets him excited about homeschooling and the fun we could be having since we have hit such a lull in his work and in our school.  We knows a few kids graduating this year so we will also be attending graduation which is a first for me as well.  I'm figuring that this year's convention is about him more than me.  Keynote speakers are Chris Klicka, Diana Waring & Todd Wilson. 

Of course yesterday's fiasco could not go unannounced and who opens tonights convention but yours truly Mr. Dad - Todd Wilson, telling all about my crazy dh.  I tell ya, I sooooo am not the kind of gal who likes being put in the spotlight and this was sooooo embarassing I can't even hardly want to be in the same room with my dh.  Is my dh having a midlife crisis OR WHAT? LOL and if he isn't, he is surely going to put me into one, FAST! but I do still love him ~ somebodies got to LOL! 

Pray that I survive convention with him and ds11y tomorrow because it is gonna feel like I'm taking kids with me LOL.  And this wasn't the break/refreshment I was hoping for.  Honestly!
