of course it will help rather than hinder her study. You and I both know how you can get so nervous and tired that you can read a whole book and not remeber a word when you over study. Being your girl for a few days and feeling useful to you as well as some study when you need quiet time, ideal...and you just go ahead and enjoy all the pampering and upgrades the children want to give you...you deserve everymoment of their help.

Perhaps she wants to be the first in your new bath Pat. Don't worry I expect she knows what she is doing. Enjoy.

That is considerate of you thinking about the big BAR exam she has coming up.

She may be like me, learn as you go with cramming having an adverse effect.  Also, as an attorney and most doctors, there is little chance of sparing the feelings, we just say what needs to be said for ourselves and others.  The mind is trained like that.  So, trust her.  She knows her limits.  If if she needed to stay home, she would.

Relax, you have raised a wonderful daughter who will, it seems, continually make you proud.

A break away from the 'same-old' could actually help.

Best of luck with her exams--and have a good time, quit yer worritin, Ma!

Sometimes a change is as good as a rest, Pat. Your daughter may feel the need to give her brain a break. What better way than spending time with Mom, and helping her decorate her new bathroom? Another win-win situation.
