4:00 – 5:00 — Do homework and chores.

I guessed it would not break my resolution to help Mommy.

“Okay, Mommy,” I said. “I would be happy to do the sheets.”

“Thank you, Karen,” said Mommy. “You are my special helper.”

I smiled. I liked being Mommy’s special helper. Besides, there would be plenty of time later in the week to work on Project Jupiter.

After I stripped the beds, Mommy asked me to help her put the clean sheets on them. Then I helped her fold laundry. Before I knew it, my scheduled homework hour was up. I was forced to play from five until six.

There went Monday.

On Tuesday I did not do any homework either. Mommy had to take Andrew to the mall to buy new shoes. Since we did not have a nanny yet, I had to go too. By the time we got back home, it was practically dinnertime. After dinner, I thought about skipping my bath and doing my homework instead. But I stuck to my schedule. I took a bath, read for awhile, then went to bed at eight o’clock sharp.

On Wednesday I helped Mommy set up her jewelry-making studio at the crafts center.

It was very interesting. Mommy showed Andrew and me how the solder gun (that is a tool shaped like a pistol with a very hot pointy tip) works. She uses the solder gun to melt the metal she makes into jewelry. We were not allowed to touch the solder gun.

After my bath that night, I wondered if I could read my book about Jupiter. Would that count as before-bed reading? I decided it probably did not. I picked up The Adventures of Katie Kelleher. I was on chapter three. Again.

On Thursday I had a dentist appointment. (No cavities, hooray!) I got home at 5:10. Boo and bullfrogs. When was I going to get this project done? I had been avoiding Addie all week, but sooner or later she would find out that I had not had a chance to catch up. She would probably be angry with me. She might tell Ms. Colman. And Ms. Colman had already spoken to me this week about cutting in line.

All of a sudden it was Friday. Even though I had meant to, I had not done my homework all week. Now it was the weekend, and I had no homework time in my schedule. What was I going to do? Project Jupiter was suffering from launch delays!
