1. I am going to try to stop worrying about the younger daughter. If she has to repeat a class in the summer, she has to repeat the damn class.

If the Aged Parents have another emergency and want me to move in for days at a time to help, well, I just won't be able to because of summer school. The Aged Ps will just have to call on my sister, who has no job and no children, but many annoying habits and "issues". It's high time she pulled her weight in the family. I'm rather looking forward to telling my rotten little sister that, come to think of it. I should be evil more often; it's quite refreshing.

What I will do is continue to help the younger daughter with her organizing skills, ask about her day, and encourage her to double-check the websites of the two teachers who actually list the homework assignments online. Beyond that, it's up to her.

2. This is harder: When someone offers help, I'm going to accept. If said someone didn't really mean it, that'll be their problem, not mine. I have a hard time accepting help when offered and an even harder time asking for help when I need it.

3. I'm going to try to find more time for myself. I have piles of partially finished projects that I really want to work on, and no time to work on them.

Well, it's worth a try.

Thanks. You'd think at my age I'd already have this stuff down, but no...
