My heart hurts

My heart is breaking. I have to call my school today and tell them that without childcare, I can't attend in August. I have literally searched everywhere you could think of for grants, loans, and assistance. The money I got for school doesn't even cover school. I would still owe them $365. I found out about this government program, Child Care Assistance, and called about it. They are sending me an application. For the waitlist. That I can't turn in until my classes start. It makes absolutely now sense to me. I need to have child care WHEN CLASSES START. And since I have no way to provide childcare for them, I can't attend school. You know, I was just trying to better my circumstances, the lives of my children, my life. It is really starting to feel like anytime I try to do something good, it turns around and bites me in the ass, or I fail.

Now I'm just wallowing in self-pity. But I need to for now...

  1. The only failure is a failure to try, and you are trying, so remember that. You are allowed to wallow, but only for a bit :) Then you will just take a different path to get where you want to be, hope you don't think that sounds cheesy. Takle care

  2. @Sharron That doesn't sound cheesy in the least. I realized if it wasn't a challenge to get what I want, I wouldn't want to do it anymore! Thank you, Sharron :)
