I tried to daydream, but my mind kept wandering

[ClingingToHope]

Running out of steam with the girls. They have had two friends over for two days now and they are whining about the food. Well ... I purposely bought non sugar healthy stuff for the week and their friends don't like it.

They are testing my patience.

Now, they are sitting inside watching TV on a beautiful summer day. I told them they have until 2:30 p.m., then the TVs go off and they have to go outside and do something ... anything.

Another call from XW this morning. Today, she is driving down to a college 3 hours away with her mom to get all of the stuff of her wayward sister.

This is the 37-year-old who hasn't had a job in seven years. She found a federal program last year that pays for indigent people to go to college.

So back to school she went last year and this year, after Christmas, she dropped out and has just been down there using her mom's money to drink and smoke.

She called to ask if I'd let the dog out today. We don't have any other pressing plans so I said yes.

Cake eating ?? Probably. Nice guy syndrome ?? Probably.

Saying no when I have no real plans for the day seemed petty. Besides, I'm somewhat enjoying the family drama.
