Aren't we cute?

Evelyn...slightly delayed
Since I'm terrible about updating, I hadn't posted about my newest little angel. Evelyn was born 10/5/13 and she is by far my most laid back child so far. Here's an early picture:
Still trucking on
So I posted before about losing my job and that situation has really been haunting me lately. I know the job wasn't good for me, but now everything feels so uncertain and I keep questioning my decisions.
My job basically told me every day that I wasn't pretty enough and my confidence fell so low. They told me I needed to wear makeup, and I gave up on being pretty. They told me I had to straighten or curl my hair every morning because wavy was not allowed.
They gave me the run around at every chance, refused to pay my overtime then docked my pay when I pointed out that I have legal rights. I didn't get a bonus that I had earned because I didn't work enough hours and I got written up for being 5 min late while everyone else strolled in 15 min late.
When they took away the promotion I was promised, I knew it was time to give up. I was honest and shared my feeling on the job. After that I was given a write-up that implied that I had quit. After an extremely confusing argument, I felt my best chance of getting unemployment was to let them send me home rather than signing something saying I quit. As it turns out, I was wrong. After receiving unemployment for a few months, my employer won their claim against me and the decision was reversed. I tried to appeal again but they never sent me anything. Now I've got delinquency notices from the DOL and the money is running out fast.
I don't want to quit school because for the first time in years I feel like I have a chance to make something of myself. At what point do I give up?
