Alarm!

So, tonight is the first night without R and an alarm system. I didn't really expect to be nervous, but with disgusting predators just coming in and taking kids out of their beds at night, here, in central FL..........I wish I had the alarm is all. Thank goodness we didn't buy in the Orlando area.
I am trying to get everything together to get us all to PC but I forgot a major snag in my plans until the last minute. R is not here to pack the car! That has been a major setback.
We started the new science program today. I am having second thoughts about putting W in with F in the program. I had to do a LOT of "getting him up to speed" to do. He did learn a lot, but it was a concept that with all her prior knowledge of the subject would've taken about 5 minutes to do with her. Maybe I will just not worry about him getting it all. Just let him listen in, and put him through, again, with G when it's her time. They are closer in age and by the looks of things will be a lot closer to the same level until W gets over his testosterone and makes up the time. He read a whole page of his HOP and did really well today, but I have to admit that I shouldn't try to sit with him through it without my medication:) The attention span of a four yr. old boy is alarmingly PAINFUL! And I am in love with the little guy! My heart really goes out to elementary teachers that have a whole classroom of them. I should go to bed now to wait on the middle of the night G visit and the subsequent meltdown when she is reminded that her "diddy daddy" is not here.
