Parenting & Birthdays

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you about Destiny's birthday. Melanie decided not to do a slumber party theme. Our van broke down so we brought her to our house for a small party so we didnt have to find a way to get all the kids out and then took her back for her real birthday party with Melanie at the park and we didnt attend that one. My van broke down a couple weeks ago and the engine is shot and there is an electrical problem. The Dodge dealer has it and they are supposed to be fixing it but cant figure out the electrical problem yet and until that is fixed they cant put in the claim to the warranty people for the engine because they need pictures of the odometer etc.

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.....
