I really was bugged that I screwed up my dates so badly that I missed Homeschool convention but then I started to realize that maybe it was by G-d's design that I was never supposed to attend to begin with.  Really the only thing that I will truly miss from convention was the fellowship and once again He in His wisdom said that He wanted me to fellowship with Him because the problems & solutions in our homeschool are His problem and really nobody at convention can really give me the answers.  It also helped that when I moved books from the bookshelves into my bedroom, I realized that IF we would just work on any ONE shelf in our house:  read, study & DO the information on that ONE shelf, then we would actually be brilliant LOL and golly I have A LOT of bookshelves to choose from so I really didn't need the temptation of trying, or using, or starting ANYTHING new because really my curriculum is working. 

You should know that I wasn't taking this too gracefully but G-d must have known something that I didn't know about going to convention so I'm not crying over spelt milk and I can't be upset with my foolish mistake (caused by over focusing on my circumstances that I *thought* I was turning over to Him but obviously not so well if I am in such a daze that I am missing a whole week of my life LOL).  It's all good and it's all G-d -- whatever He wants I know is best.  I just have to trust that G-d’s plan was better than mine and even though I probably would have been blessed by convention, I will keep looking for the blessing that I will receive for not being there.  I don’t know what it is or when I will get it, but G-d lines things up; sometimes He has to close one door to open a better one.

I'm actually getting excited thinking about my at home-homeschool convention plus it should be more productive because I would hope it will be more relevant to what MY homeschool exactly needs at this point.  Here are some podcasts & articles that were recommended for my home homeschool convention:
