To Waldorf or not to Waldorf... That is the question.

Okay so, here I am. After the ass has dropped out of my life.
Single parent? Check.
Still working? Check.
Rebuilding after losing my mom? Well....
Well... Is there an un-check? The financial business of my mom's passing has been heavy on me. I remain calm for the most part, I suppose... It all depends on what calm looks like for you.
So, paying tuition has been on my mind - not at the forefront - just kind of kicking around in there. I don't know how to wrap my mind around the amount of money coming out of my pockets each month as I try to hold it all together.
Then you marry that with the reality that I walked out of the financial aid meeting well aware that I was a series of routing and account numbers to my daughter's school.  The school is volunteered for weekly for two years.  The school I wanted her in since she was walking.  This is my repayment.
Well, I've got to do what's best for my sanity, which will trickle down throughout the cracks of my family.  So it's looking like it is time to turn in my Waldorf fantasy.
