In addition, it comes at a time when we had just started to get into a "groove" with our daily schedule, and now that has gone to the wayside because I needed the kids to help with clean-out and packing, plus I was catching up on my online college because I had fallen behind due to a nearly week-long bout with a bad cold and wheezing 
If you know online college, the courses are compressed into 5 weeks, so missing a week is like missing several weeks! I am finally caught up there, and still working on packing. Our big move day is next week. The girls have continued reading and some educational games on their own, but not much else.Please pray for us that getting back to the routine of school after this unexpected and lengthy hiatus will go smoothly. I don't want to feel like I have to start all over again getting the "groove" back
On the plus side, I think the girls really are itching to continue with their HOD, and I would love for us to get back on track as soon as possible. I already feel I will have to eliminate some typical school-year holidays since they have had this long break, and that feels kind of bad with the holidays coming, and hubby having secured a week off to coincide with my previously planned week-long Christmas holiday from HOD (my winter break from college as well). *sigh*
, and you definitely deserve it!
