Hey gang, I'm taking a rare break from Brad so I figured I'd catch you up to what's going on in my life.
Enzo is turning 16 this Tuesday, which is huge. I can't believe my son is already 16. It's so crazy. I'm not even grown up yet and he's almost a legal adult.
Heather moved out - pretty much without notice. See, last weekend she said she was spending it in Potosi with the guy she'd just started dating. I told her about my concerns but she's an adult and sort of capable of making her own decisions.
She just always runs head first into these relationships and then doesn't understand why they end badly. You don't spend a weekend with a guy you barely know.
Well, she told me she'd be home on Monday but she wasn't. I talked to her on the phone and she said she'd be home later that night.
On Tuesday she went through Drive Thru (in a pick up truck that I assume belongs to that guy) and told me that she'd be home later that night. Well, she didn't come home again.
On Wednesday Enzo and I were talking about how long she'd been gone. I decided to look in her room and realized that half her stuff was gone.
So, I called her and got her voice mail. So I left a message that said, "Hey I noticed half your stuff is gone. Are you moving out and just forgot to tell me?"
She texted me back later and said, "Got ur msg yes n the process of moving out. Beem (that was her misspelling) busy with rest (the restaurant that guy owns) will call u soon."
I just wonder how long she was actually going to wait before telling me that she was moving out.
She's moving in with that guy she just started seeing. I think that's completely insane.
Brad is happy about it though. He's been wanting me to kick her out for ages.
See, when I let her stay here nearly a year ago it was supposed to be a temporary thing. She was supposed to be trying to save money to get her own place.
So, I didn't tell her she had to help with the bills because I figured if she was doing that it'd be hard for her to save money.
Well, then she hurt her back so she was stuck here even longer. And since I felt bad for her I didn't press her to help me out with bills.
She'd sometimes give me a little money to help out. As time wore on she gave me less and less money.
Then, thanks to all the drama that usually surrounds her she lost her job at McDonald's. Of course she was able to get unemployment. She told me that she would start paying me $50 every week when she got her check. She did that the first week but never again.
While this is going on Brad keeps telling me that she's using me and I need to tell her to either pay me or to get out.
Heather's my friend - despite how crazy she can be - and friendship is more important to me than money. I didn't want to end up getting into a huge fight and ending our friendship so I kept putting the talk off. It never seemed to be the right time.
In the meantime I was struggling financially since the utilities had gone way up and various little things kept happening.
I would try hinting to Heather about how difficult things were thinking she'd offer to help but it didn't work.
So, as I was finally getting upset enough to actually confront her she decided to up and move out before we could talk.
I really don't know that things are going to work out with this guy. They're moving too fast. I've seen her do this over and over again - only usually not the moving in part. She wants me to meet him. She's says he's the one - but she's said that before.
Brad told me not to let her come back if things don't work out with him. I don't know if I can do that to her. She is my friend, she's just really lost.
She's more worried about going out and partying that being a responsible adult. Now I see why her Mom didn't want her to move in with her. She knew Heather would be a mooch.
I really do hope that maybe this time she really has found the right guy because that would save me lots of trouble. Then we can still be friends and I won't have to have that hard conversation with her.
That can happen, right?
