1. How hard is it on your family? (I'm talking about being gone 4 days/nights a week.) 2. Under what circumstances would you consider this? 3. Is the extra income and relief of acute financial stress, worth the sacrifice of him being gone? 4. What do you do to make it easier on you and the children? (i.e. skype etc.) 5. If you are a Christian, what are your thoughts. 6. Any other thoughts, warnings, advice, opinions? :bigear: Thank you so much. I will eagerly await your responses :001_smile: Renee

:grouphug: My heart goes out to you. Life is so hard sometimes, and when you are a mom, you just have to keep going. And toothaches are a real bummer!!!! Renee

Thanks for sharing that link. I've never heard of it before! I just saved a bunch of SOTW 2 note booking pages to my computer :001_smile: I'm always amazed at the helpful information I find on this board. Love it!

Yes, you can absolutely do this. Also, you can choose between a calendar, assignment list, daily task list, or agenda report. Personally, I like the calendar view. You can also change the font etc. on the next screen. It's all in what you click when the option window comes up. You choose what you want it to display and where the page break comes in. You just have to play around with it or watch the videos. I do better just experimenting with it. HST is so versatile. It is definitely worth the time you put into learning how to use it. I don't know if that makes any sense. I hope I helped :001_smile:

:iagree: This has been my experience also. Not just once but repeatedly.

:thumbup: I'm at the library finishing up entering the first unit of TOG. Happy planning!

:iagree: You took the words right out of my mouth. ;) This is exactly what I have been ranting about to my husband. Thank you for expressing, so well, my frustration over this whole thing. If they weren't charging people, I would completely understand and be a lot more patient. But as it is, I feel like it was false advertising and they should publicly apologize. I am back to my trusty HST+. It may not be as pretty, but it can do nearly anything I want it to. I would encourage those of you who are on the fence about HST. Spend some time learning how to use it. It is extremely functional for homeschooling purposes and the customer service is excellent.

Really? I couldn't get it to do anything I needed it to, and it also lost a lot of information I had already entered. I think it will be great in about a year, but for now it is far from ready to be released IMHO. I just asked for a refund.

That is a good idea. I will try. :001_smile:

I didn't think you could use the US HIG with the standard edition?

Do you mean get the SE HIG? It's sooo expensive. I don't think I can swing nearly $50 for it. I'm really frustrated...... I thought it would be out by now. :(

My son has been doing Primary Math 5 Standards Edition. I see that the newer HIG's are not available for level 6 in the Standards Edition. I really don't want to spend $49 for the HIG. Will it really mess him up to go to the US edition? Will there be gaps in his math? Thanks for your help :001_smile:

We have stopped using our dryer completely this summer and save approximately $40 dollars a month. I'm sure we do at least 10 loads a week.

:grouphug: I can understand feeling that way. I think I would enjoy hsing more if I could figure out how to make it doable (is that a word?). I sat down today to try and write out a schedule for the upcoming year. I got so frustrated, because I could not make it all fit. It makes me want to just give up.:crying:

Wow Jennifer! That sounds incredible :) I'm not sure if I could be that organized, and get my kids to cooperate ;) I like the drop box idea though. I am going to look into that. How do they do their map work, SAP's etc. Don't you still have to print all that out? I guess I need to re-read your post and really think it through. I'm sure I'll have more questions. :001_smile:

:grouphug: My heart goes out to you and your children. I'm so sorry for your pain.
