Another nail...
Sometimes I think that I just can't seem to get ahead.
With everything else I have on my mind today, I took my son the the doctor, spending my last $1 on that and the gas to get to Dodge City and back, then I get a call from my daughter.
No one had heard from her in over a week. And I really didn't get a call, she had tried to call collect when I was gone and left me a recorded message which MCI delivered when I got home. She and her good for nothing boyfriend are in a homeless shelter in Topeka.
She wants money. I think, though, that since they got themselves up there, hitch-hiking no doubt, and neither one of them will hold a job for more than a week, that they will find their own way home. A very wise friend helped me see that giving her money isn't helping her. She is 19, she chose to live this way, if she wants to come home (which she doesn't because we don't "accept" her boyfriend) then she will find her way home like she found her way to Topeka. I don't have any money to give her, or the money to drive all the way up there to get her. There is nothing I can do.
I really didn't need this on top of everything else, though....
