I'm off to a new city tomorrow- Atlanta. I'll be at the Southeast Homeschool Expo so if any of you happen to be there stop by the Teach4Mastery booth for a visit.
I wish I could tell you that I'm incredibly excited about this trip, but in all honesty I'm just ready to have the conference season come to an end. I'm ready to do exciting things like homeschool my kids and start writing the next curriculum and maybe just be a wife and mom for a little while.
I can't really complain. Poor Gary will be there with me and he's been to a different conference in a different city every weekend for about a month now, and that's just this month! It's just that I never really envisioned that I'd spend my weekends standing at a vendor booth in a homeschool conference or speaking...to people...in public...as in public speaking. If I could write everyday for the rest of my life I'd be perfectly happy without all the public stuff. But having said that, I usually do enjoy myself once I'm there and I truly do like helping people. Plus, this is a shorter conference than some. I think I'm just tired.
This time I'm driving and my kids and Aunt Ellen are going with me. Granted, none of them will work at the conference, but at least I'll have the company on the way there and back. They'll be staying with my parents in Atlanta and doing fun stuff like watching the new Batman movie with Grandpa and Aunt Ellen will go antique shopping with my mom. I'll get to eat dinner with everyone on Thursday and Saturday, but that's about it.
I wish I could tell you that I've been really on the ball and have some of those pre-scheduled posts that will appear in my absence, but that just didn't happen this time. I may end up taking my laptop with me, though, and if I do I'll try to post some. Please don't forget about me in my absence, ya'll!
I'm off to wash clothes, iron, and pack. Have a great day!

Here I Go Again!

I can absolutely identify with you. We can be preparing for vacation and travel will still give me a case of the anxieties. I'm sure days must go by when you wonder if you haven't left yourself in the last city. (Although, you had such blessings and peace in California.)
Prayers that God won't let this visit to Atlanta go by without His providing you with His peace and refreshing.
Besides, somebody on that conference floor needs to discover the "found penny" that works in you!
Have a wonderful trip. Will miss your blogs, and look forward to when you return.
Oh, bless your heart. That traveling, especially for conferences, is just exhausting. I can relate to you, except on a completely opposite level. Give me a group of people to speak to any day over writing. I am enjoying my blog just because it has been fun to laugh with myself. I haven't had the time to sit down and really "write" yet...the deep, ponder and pour out a challenging post type of writing yet. I have enjoyed the "make my kids laugh" kind of posts, and there's a place for both. I hope to swing over to the other side soon.:) Next year, we'll keep each other company at a few conferences.
Be blessed! I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm glad your family can travel with you this time.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Once you're there, hopefully, you'll have a blast.
Enjoy!
I hope you have a great and safe trip. I will miss you too.
Oh, have a wonderful time! I'm a bit jealous, there are quite a few FIAR moms that will be there! I hope you will "run into" some of them! :)

I hope you are having fun in Atlanta.
We head home on Saturday from our vacation. I am back to work travel on Aug 1 to Denver. It would be awesome if we ended up in the same place one of these times!!
Keep up the good work, you have always been a better speaker than you give yourself credit for.
Blessings,
Charlene
