Help! Books are in our household goods...

[Heidi in AK]

Some of you may remember us, we were on the boards a couple of years ago.

We are now in South Carolina, not Alaska, and just moved. Our HOD books are in our household goods, and we're not sure where they are. When you travel with the military, you get what you get.

I had all of our stuff packed because we were flying, going to Grandma's for Christmas, etc. Now our stuff is 2 weeks late and we have no ETA.

We have been doing a devotional every day, along with Brain Quest workbooks and Kindle reading. Now we found the library, too. I'm really becoming quite bored and an missing HOD. We already took some of November and most of December off due to transition. South Carolina requires you to do 180 days a year.

I'm just feeling a bit lost. Please, please pray our stuff comes in soon. James 5:16!!!

I feel your pain! We are set for a PCS in a few months... and I think I might be bringing our books with us instead of packing them... just in case! Hopefully your stuff will arrive soon

Oh, Lord Jesus, I thank You for this precious homeschooling mama. I thank You for her desire to train her children in the way they should go and for her desire to put You first. Lord, I pray Your peace reigns in her heart as she waits for her books to come. I pray that You who see and know exactly where those books are would quickly restore them to her. I pray for this time that she has with her kids without the curriculum, that You will be the focus and You will draw them closer to one another and closer to You. Thank You that even in the midst of this You are present and You are upholding her. In Jesus Name I humbly present these requests to You. Amen.

Will be praying the Lord delivers ALL of your things!

Thank you, everybody! We have no update so far. Hubby is home entertaining the kids. That's always nice too.

I too am praying your stuff will come soon, and that at bare minimum you can get some answers soon!

As for the 180 days don't fret. Does SC require you to turn in records? If so you are only there a partial year anyway. Everything you are doing with reading devotional, any Bible study you do, any reading you do with her, still counts. No it doesn't progress you in your guide, but it counts toward state requirements. Just keep track. P.E. time, home ec (yes cleaning their rooms and doing dishes is school), etc etc, the categories are numerous. If SC has a core subject hours requirement then of course you need to keep track of it.

But I imagine it is so frustrating to not get your stuff when you want and need it. Hang in there!
