He loves to help out. When I clean the kitchen he gets a Lysol wipe or two and wipes down whatever he can reach. In the livingroom he helps by dusting and picking up his toys. The hurry hurry hurry, fast as you can is his favorite game. Pick up something an run to put it away. If he helps you out it will keep him entertained and not so lonely.
We have also decided not to go the pre k route. But we do do "school" everyday. They sell those activity learning books at my dollar store. We have several of those that we work on. We have letters, numbers, shapes, basic math and a couple others. He loves them. He needs a little help usually but does really well. just something fun. He cannot wait to start school next year.

I probably do need to involve him more in "my work". I do sometimes, but sometimes I just want to get stuff done.

Are his "fits" getting a rise out of you? What I mean is are you giving him more attention in dealing with them? What worked for me was to absolutely ignore the tantrums and them would stop almost immediately.
