She is such an awesome speaker. I thought of you, and knew that you would have enjoyed her just as much as I did! Have you ever heard any of her talks?

(You don't really get to get away, unless you get away. Otherwise, the little ones will find you). :-) This year I had 'office hours', just like a professor. I set aside one night, Tuesday, during the week for 'office hours', and enjoyed counting on that time to make copies, run errands for our school, and plan/prepare lessons.thebookbagladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233380232477737789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-50438680231817826202009-06-09T08:17:56.721-05:002009-06-09T08:17:56.721-05:00Great ideas here and the Cinnamon Crunch bagels ar...Great ideas here and the Cinnamon Crunch bagels are the bomb!

I can't beat that, but this is a great idea especially for years when the budget is tighter and I have to pay full price.

I can hardly find 2 days to put together like this but if I do, I tend to NOT prioritize and waste time on little things.<br />You are completely right though - we hs teachers need teacher in-service days too! I always feel better when I've been able to set aside time to focus on research and planning (I can NOT do this with the kids around - just can NOT). It's such a great motivator!<br />So glad that you could turn a convention that wouldn't have met your specific needs into one that did!<br />Andrea<br /><br />btw - Love Ambleside Online!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515461667570309152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-77936712611735523042009-06-08T12:06:37.617-05:002009-06-08T12:06:37.617-05:00I'm going to a homeschool conference this week...I'm going to a homeschool conference this weekend but I will definitely think about the "teacher in service" days and setting up my own homeschooling conference. Doing this homeschooling, stay at home mama thing is like all personal endeavors in that we need to build in the things that will help us do this for the long run and not get burned out.
