I really think it’s time for DD#1 to find some focus. I hate the idea that she’s not working and not in school. She hates the idea of being on someone else’s schedule, and right now the logistics of having her one place and dh somewhere else during the same time frame are more than we can handle. I found out recently, though, that online universities can now take federal financial aid. She’s been into Media Arts for quite awhile, and Collins College offers those degrees through their virtual campus.

I don’t know how she’ll feel about that, but I think it long past time to suggest most strongly that she find a way to channel some of her energy in a way that will provide her with long term benefits.
