Some thoughts (because i'm better at thoughts than sympathy).
1) Apple pimping might be fun for you, actually, though i don't know when you'd do it if it involes leaving the house. Still, can't hurt to investigate. I was thinking....
if J is going to do that crafts booth next fall, maybe you could make some crafts to be sold there as well. The knitting you were doing while i was in KC was nice enough to be sold. Baked good might also sell at a profit.
Might be able to find other in-home jobs (typing docs., baby-watching, mending).
2) Cordell moving back to CA should actually help you out. He's old enough to support himself, and its one less mouth to feed. Thats not a very pleasant way to to think about it - i prefer to imagine him spreading his wings and being happy - but i think its true.
3) I assume J means college in AU 2006, because most colleges have already designated their incoming class for 2005. Regardless, no time is too early for her to begin looking for scholarships and loans. I don't know if this is still true, but when i was in highschool taking the PSAT opened a lot of doors in terms of colleges looking for you, and even scholarship opportunities. The counselor at her community college should also be helpful.
