This is what I sent to Smokey. It was way too long, but it was financial stuff and I needed to say it. I think I handled it ok.
Me:
Ok. I appreciate the deposit and the mortgage payment. Jan is when the electric is high because the balance from keeping the payment around the same is applied this month. The bill was over $500. I paid $200 yesterday.
D19 is applying for jobs this week on campus. She applied to 3 over break. Maybe you need to talk to her about financial/college arrangement.
I paid for parkas for both girls, bought two textbooks, handled the $200 script, got her back to school and spent $150 on supplies and cash for her. I was hoping you could help with the housing expense.
I'm shaking. Cheezeits!
