I'm having a bad day....

[MissMillie]

Over the weekend, events transpired that have made it necessary for the young man I took in last December to move out. (Essentially, the story is that my son's wallet (w/ $400) went missing and the young man and his friend were in the room w/ it when I left on Saturday, and the wallet was gone w/ my son woke up on Saturday.) Anyway, I'm feeling very much like I tried hard to help this kid, and he's beyond help, so what a waste of time.

Well, today I went to pay some bills, and lo and behold, my cell-phone bill is $412. Yep, the 3 of us are supposed to share 1000 minutes (mind you, we have a home phone) but my son used 1000 by himself, and the other boy used twice that. I'm billing both boys for their overage.

There's no way I can let the boy leave w/ the phone. If it's his only phone, he's likely to put us over on minutes every month, and I won't have any way to collect it. He's going to be pissed.

I don't like the way today is turning out. Can I please have a hug?
