momofkhm Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 where would you be? I know I bought a copy a few months ago from the local homeschool store. I've looked on every bookshelf in the house. I looked in the closet where the books I'm not using but will use go. (The math and science that I bought ahead. The grammar that at leats one kid has used but I have one or 2 other that will use.) It's not on my nightstand or my dresser. I also can't find my copy of educating the Whole Hearted Child either. I want to look for high school rec's in WTM and review WHC.

Snickerdoodle Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 While you are at it, I can't find Primary Language Lessons. I've looked high and low and it's driving me nuts! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Have you looked under your bed? What about in the car somewhere? I hate not being able to find something. I get a little OCD and can't rest until I find it! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourOaks Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This happens to me much more often than I'd like to admit! Here's a good story for you. At the beginning of this school year I needed my Trial & Triumph book. It was new and I absolutely KNEW I had taken it with me to read somewhere. There was also another book I knew I had done the same thing with. We had moved twice, so I had been through every possible box it could be in. I searched high and low. I felt like I was crazy, but it was not anywhere to be found. I had to break down and buy a new copy. Fast forward to a few weeks ago to our vacation to FL. We get to the beach and open our beach chairs that have zippered pouches on them. I opened the pouch to see what was inside and there it was!!!!!!!!!!! My brand new copy of Trial & Triumph, left there while on vacation to Myrtle Beach a year and a half earlier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I find a lot of 'missing' stuff under the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhM Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Freezer. I've found lost car keys and pencils there. Why not your WTM book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I second under the bed. Or behind the toilet tank--no explanation needed on that one!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 It's under your bed, because you were reading at night to get an idea of your future planning. It may not be right at the edge. It might have gotten kicked further back behind the container of wrapping paper, but not all the way to the other side where your dh's dirty socks are (he knows where the hamper is).

WTMindy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 OHMYGOSH!!! Our WTM's ran off together!!!!! I can't find mine anywhere and I finally had to have a friend send me hers to borrow. It is driving me crazy and I just want the new version to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonAmy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 with some other stuff, like a missing verizon bill, under some dirty clothes in the back of my expedition. stuff hides there all the time, I need to start looking there first! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon H in IL Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My books like to party under the bed. :party: But check the sofa, the bathrooms, and the car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 In our house it would be under the couch cushions, behind the couch, under a blanket at the foot of the cot or behind the chair next to the bookcase. Right around where it is easy for toddlers to access, but requires circus level contortionist skills for Mammas to get to. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRachel Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 In a box with yarn and christmas wrapping bows. You'll find it in two years, like I did last week. No idea how it got packed in that box when we moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforest mama Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 It's on the bookshelf. You just can't see it - just like my Home Learning Year by Year book. I looked and looked and finally found it right where I was looking. Duh! It was right where I knew it should be, but I couldn't see it. Is your WTM there too?

SonshineLearner Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mine would be with a friend that I forgot I lent it to.... Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Check your library. Maybe you returned it with a bunch of library books. It happens ALL the time. How about stuck into a binder notebook where you were writing all the great notes of things you wanted to do! Any chance you lent it to someone and just forgot?

momofkhm Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 under the bed. But looking under the bed brought up another question. How long should I keep old work? NC doesn't require me to show them anything work wise. But I still have the copy books from 2 years ago, the grammar notebooks, the spelling workbooks are under there too. They aren't bothering anything and that space isn't needed for storing other things, yet. Keep them or let them go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I found Educating the Wholehearted Child first. It was with the books in the storage space that I'll only need if I have another child. But I'm glad I looked in that box - it's where General Science that I'll need for next year with child #2 was! Then I came downstairs to have another piece of chocolate and glanced at the bookshelf in the living room - lo and behold there it was! I kept looking for a blue cover! I still have the dust jacket on it so it the binding side was mostly red and yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
