This really is a scary time. NYC is getting killed right now. They have hospital ships coming in, hospital tents set up in Central Park, and hospital beds lining the hallways right now.
The boys get a lot of outside time, but also a lot of video game time. Ares has been helpful with Atlas doing his homework. This is because Ares has had a 2.5 week spring break. 2 of the weeks were planned, the additional 2 days leading up to the spring break were given as calamity days. I dread him going back to school. He's been a big help with Atlas, and it's been nice that i haven't had to... "Ares, did you do this? Did you turn it in? It says it's missing. Are you sure? Email your teacher.... did you email your teacher? Did you look for a response? Why haven't you turned in what it's asking?..." This is pretty much all day. And working on actual projects, is even worse. I hate Science. Has anyone known that? I have never passed a science test in my life... ever. (No exaggeration). I always passed my science classes, though, because i went to every study session, tutoring and extra credit that i could do, and then the teachers felt bad for me. So Science Fair, Invention Convention, etc.... i absolutely hate working on, or even forcing him to work on it, or answering his questions.
Right now, he's trying to invent something to clean the oceans. Really kid, you can't figure something more local and a smaller problem to conquer?
Okay, so really, right now he's rushing atlas through his work, skipping some things, and half assing everything so that they can play video games. These next 5 weeks (oh, because we are absolutely not going back to school until May 1st, at the earliest) is going to be a shit show. At least we spend time together.
