Parenting & Going Back To School

Well, today has not been very eventful. I am having a very difficult time lately. I have quit my job because I was on an extended leave from work and I decided that I was going to "take charge" of my life because I was miserable at Blue Cross. I decided I was going to go back to school so I just went to Lincoln Land today to sign up for classes. I had already spoken with them several times and signed up for financial aid thru the FAFSA. Then, I go in today and the major I want to take (construction) is booked up within the last 4 days I might add and so I was going to take filler classes until January when I can take the course work and the financial aid dept. said that my last years taxes were not filled our correctly by the accountant and until it is fixed I cant get student loans or grants. I am so upset. I have a call into the accountant now but I dont know what I am going to do. I have applied for sooooo many jobs around here and either they are not hiring or they get scared off by what I used to make so I cant even get hired for a minimum wage job! I am a good, hard worker. Can't someone just give me a break? Now we are trying to live our my husbands min. wage job at a gas station, which don't get me wrong, it is a God sent right now, it is just not enough when we were over extended on my income before and now we make a lot less. I feel terrible that I am not contributing financially right now and I can't even go back to school. What to do what to do.....
