still awake after all

So, it is 5 am here in whynotfathers.com land.  I was ready to go to bed myself.  Suddenly started getting email notifications of items being installed on my kindle fire. Guess who is awake? Guess who admitted that he spit out his meds?  Even after I ran my finger around his gums and under his tongue. So his meds were replaced.  Made a note to clean out behind his bed, evidently that is where he spits his meds.  Yuck!!! Even after he pretended to be asleep for three hours. I dozed, woke with a start and decided to go to bed.  Now, I guess I will be up until mom wakes up and then will go to bed.  so much for spending time with the family before school starts. He has stolen the Kindle twice today, now.  so frustrated.  I wonder if I should sleep with it under my pillow…

sneaky little bugger

Just caught David trying to sneak out of his bed.  he turns over on his belly, wiggles his body over the end of the bed, and then slides on his belly across the floor one painstaking inch at a time.  I have a feeling that it is going to be a long night. About an hour ago, we caught him with his brother’s phone for the third time today.  Not sure how he manages that trick yet. Since we moved his brother upstairs, behind a locked door. So do I install video cameras? or wait until he goes into the residential facility and just let it go?     Tweet #fighting4answrs

Home Security – Securing your home from within

Well, I am researching my book “Securing your home from within”.  I want to make sure that it is as accurate as possible, it won’t go into psychology so much as it will the how and why of particular methods. Given that, there is very little research about this topic.  No how to manuals… So this should be a how to book.  How to make the decision to do in home security.  A discussion of the three levels of security.  And how to implement them.  Do I hire it out? Do I do it myself? So given that, what are your experiences?  I won’t use names in my book, but I may use examples based on your comments.  What do you think? No money involved.  I am planning to initially give away the book.   Carl Young Why Not Fathers Chief Blogger Related articles Home security anyone can build and
