I was away all day yesterday. All freakin’ day. I left my house at 7:15, and I got back in town at 7:30, but went to my Mom’s house where Ron, Emma and Meaghan were.
Sarah, Addison and I went to a homeschool conference! Whoo hoo! Yes we had a good time, even if it is far more conservative Christian than we like. It’s the *only* homeschool conference or meeting on *any* scale in the province.
I had taken my mother’s car and racked up roughly five hundred and eighty some odd miles on it. Carl, check the odometer, I reset it at the Irving on the way out of town. And $50 worth of gas.
I got some awesome deals, and had to resist more than once the urge to stand on a table and scream at the crowd, “You don’t need hardly any of this curriculumn!” You would not believe the amount of used or discounted Saxon Math there was available.
Near the end, I met up with the coordinator with whom I had been exchanging emails anyway, and she let me bring home as many conference packets (with catalogues etc…) as I wanted for everyone up here.
The only bonehead thing was I discovered late last night I had bought an answer key to something instead of an actual book. Doh. Sending that back!
I’ll give you a list later, cuz I got some cool stuff and a bunch of links for ya.
was there a lot of people there?
A couple hundred? Probably no more than that. We need to have a centrally located all-inclusive yearly conference.
