Jumping in With Both Feet

I believe my STUCK, in part, hinges in a lack of creativity at the moment.  We have made a huge step in bettering ourselves and our futures by enrolling in college.  We feel great about our decision and know that doing this together increases our chances of finishing the schooling we need.  The STUCK part is, we are running into one brick wall after another in trying to figure out the financial aspect of things, little things like living expenses.  We recently found out that just because we are now college students we could lose our foodstamps.  The figures say that just to pay for the basic living expenses we have here, my husband would need to hold down two full time jobs in addition to full time schooling just to make ends meet, until I can acquire my driver's license and lighten that load.  It seems drastically overwhelming, and seems that there should be more out there to assist people in bettering their lives, but I cannot find it anywhere.  I think part of it really has to do with the fact, I need to let go of so desperately needing to know the how of things being okay.  I am simply at a loss.  This is of course a big reason I feel fortunate to have found this message board.  It gives me a place to feel connected and not so out of touch.  It allows me to keep some focus on what is good and right in our lives right now and relieves some of the pressure involved in trying to figure out how we will continue to support our children while bettering ourselves through education.

Thanks for listening, it means a lot.
