Getting Tunnel Vision

I just arrived home from Day 2 of the convention. I spent about 7 hours there. Sometimes I find that these events can be so overwhelming, especially to new homeschoolers. Earlier this week I met with a few of my parents to help them create a list of what to look for and buy while there. Even though I am not currently homeschooling children, I end up creating a mental list for myself too. I love books and there are so many to choose from. So many of them are probably wonderful but given the amount of time in our days I don't want to buy books that I don't think I'll be reading in the next 2-3 months. I would like to pick up Pat Farrenga's book "Teach your own". I met a teacher who read John Holt's books in teacher training. I thought that was amazing!

Anyways, I home and feeling a bit tired. I just thought I would say to all you wonderful women that conventions are a wonderful place but come prepared! Tunnel vision will help keep you sanity!
