Jitters

4 days....The looming sense of panic I have managed to escape has finally taken residence in my head.
I ran The Scheduler.
Scope of reality that SCHOOL at HOME entails downloaded in 3 seconds at 54Mbs speed. We have a full Planner [27 or more hours weekly] - not many blank days, the odd rehab therapy or LiveLesson in addition to daily core subjects of Math, Science, Social Studies, PE, Art and Language Arts/reading/writing. AND perhaps an IEP meeting or two to explain VS's educational needs. I'm sure VS will want a meal or two [does LC get to eat], bathroom option and we will have to dropoff/pickup sibling at B&M Kindergarten. Shuffling parent and LC duties will take some extra mitochondria ATP I'm sure.

A cohesive plan of action is evolving for those days where behavior or fatigue reigns. Might just be the "unpredicatable" aspect I personally as parent/Learning Coach *need*. Too much rigidity is B-A-D for nervous systems and muscles as well as well-being.

I'm forming ideas about how much to report and track - some topics are quite subjective and not so easily measured - others well, I just don't want to know how much REAL time we'll need for say - handwriting....in cursive; printing was a patience builder.
And daily report following our adventures:
