Today I am not going to go nuts on the whole "controversy". Today I am going to say how nice it was to touch base with an old friend and catch up. Today it was nice that my daughter helped me pick up the house and finish the laundry.
I have a problem. I know what I need to do in regards to something, I just don't know how to do it. I feel like no matter what approach I take, things will end badly. I have had a girl living at my house for about the past 9 months. For some of that time she worked. She also watched my daughter so I could work and not have to pay daycare or send her to my mother's (she doesn't like to stay there because her and my son don't get along). Then she quit working. I don't make a fortune - in fact without her living at my house it was tough to make it paycheck to paycheck - but I could do it. I am buying her cigarettes, soda, food, plus all the essentials of daily living that most people take for granted until they have to buy it on their own. I also took her to and from Hannibal whenever she wanted to go to her friends house or to pick up her friend to stay at our house. With the rising cost of gas - it effects every decision I make. I can't afford to keep her any longer. The only place she could get a job and be able to stay at my house is the nursing home here in town. She is almost 20 years old. I am doing her no favors by allowing her to stay at my house and not hold down a 40 hour a week job. The problem is, I don't know how to tell her she has to go. She has a pretty high temper and I know its going to be ugly. I know this is something that should be done face-to-face, but I want to take the chickenshit way out and tell her in a text. Any advice here would be helpful. Thanks

So today I did it. I told her that I just couldn't do this anymore. I told her it was nothing personal, I just can't afford it anymore - and she is ok with it. I guess I was just borrowing trouble thinking she was going to have a fit. Of course, I haven't seen her face to face yet, but I think she had to have an idea this was coming.
Just wanted to let you know.
