I was always stressed, doing way more than I should have been doing, and then getting a crappy pay of $7.80 an hour to do it all. I have now been out of work for 19 days. I have money put aside for this months bills but I'm not sure about next month. My parents, well my mom, has said that they 'don't want to enable me' any longer. I don't see how if I'm actively looking for employment that I am allowing them to enable me not to work. All I ask is for them to support me. I don't want to sound like a selfish bitch but if they can support my out of work brother who quit his job on a whim over a year ago, then they should surely be able to help me out with my bills.
My schooling is another issue. I am currently enrolled in the online teacher prep program through Rio Salado. I am finding this program to be extremely challenging. Mainly because I don't have the self discipline to do the assignments on my own time. But I am one of those learners who really needs to be in a structured classroom enviornment. I really thought I could do this program, but I have recently (like ten minutes ago) came to the conclusion that I cannot. I desperately want to go into the teaching profession. I have tutored and worked with children before and I have always found it extremely rewarding. I'm just concerned on where I can go to school to finish the program. I am concerned because I am already 25,000 in debt for just my bachelors degree, I don't really want to go into much more debt.
I just feel confused right now. I loved the week I spent with Jennie and her parents because they were just so warm and loving. (Jennie can I just move in with you?)
Any guidance a sister can share would be extremely helpful right now.
(I have to say though, the one thing that keeps me happy is the possibility of forming an online AA. I'm looking foward to possibly being a part of that)

Sweetie, you know you can *always* come stay out here for a while if you need to! My parents and I loved having you here, so anytime you want to come back, just let us know!
I'll definitely be keeping you and ADPiZXalum in my prayers today and the next couple of days. I ask you all to pray for my grandparents....my grandma is having foot surgery today (after just getting done with a stay in the hospital for I'm not entire sure of all the details, but I know that she had been vomiting and wasn't able to take care of herself or my grandpa, which was the biggest problem of them all). My grandpa was in the hospital because his blood sugar was all wacky-tabaccy, and with my grandma in the hospital, he needed to be somewhere where he could get full-time care. He's now been moved into a nursing home for the moment, and he's having trouble adjusting to that...being combative and having hallucinations, from what my aunt has emailed the entire family. My grandma and grandpa are both in their late 70's/early 80's, and they've been such an important part in all of our lives (I unfortunately haven't had as much of an opportunity to spend a lot of time with them, because they lived back in Indiana as I was growing up) and I don't know how our family would handle losing either one of them. My grandpa had a stroke a few years ago, so he's still battling the aftereffects of that medical incident, and these problems are just adding more weight to the worry we all have for him.
