Single Mom. Single Paycheck.

This post is purely a venting session of my own. I am on the cusp of big change, the transition time of switching jobs. It has been a very difficult decision since doing so meant I had to give up my medical insurance. The decision to make the change was based on my immediate financial need. Even with this change I'm afraid it still will not be enough of an income increase to sufficiently support myself and my kids. It is extremely frustrating since I work very hard at making every possible effort to do so. Little over a year ago I took a course to get my CNA certification in the hopes that it would help to increase my income. This has so far not proven true. I am at the end of my rope financially and am out of ideas on  what to do now. I have tried selling my jewelry and photography on etsy but have not had much success. Ok, no success. Ughh! What's a single Mom to do? I'de love to take a few courses to further my education and increase my chances for a higher pay rate. Unfortunately, money is an issue.  Sooo...... Who out there can relate? What are you doing or what have you done to improve your situation?
