I have been homeschooling a bit longer and I still have some issues keeping track with it all. I used to live in FL, but we went under an umbrella and no state tests were required. Some of the school systems will give away their surplus curriculum. I lived in the panhandle, and I could get some stuff free from the Santa Rosa county school board surplus shop. I'm not sure that they still do that as I moved to AL 1 1/2 yrs ago. They did it at least 3yrs before I moved though and they still might (if you know anyone in that area). Check with your county and your surrounding county school boards to see if they have such a place. Financially- Been there! My husband went almost a year w/o a good income. We went through foreclosure and a bk. We are stronger now for the horror we went through. Just know that it will pass, and yes- you are doing the right thing to try to save your home. Our biggest hurdle was the foreclosure, not the bk! Either way, I will pray that you and your hubby will pull together as a team and not pull apart. My husband and I pulled together and now we know without a doubt that nothing can pull us apart! In that way, perhaps we found the greatest blessing of all. Tami
