Stressed :(

Its just been a hard few months but especially this past month..I just couldn't get ahead. i sold my daughters bed because she got a bigger one and I was so happy to have that $40 and I had to go pick up my kids 3hrs away from their dads 2 weeks early because his gf is a totaly idiot and doesn't accept that he has kids from before her. I can get alot of food to last us for $40 when its the last of my money but I had to put it in my gas tank to go get my kids. My oldest son lives with his dad but I'm pregnant and have our 10yr dd and our 7yr old ds. I don't get money til monday and I'm out of pretty well everything 
My tank is right on empty and I pray I can even make it to the foodback up the street. Its just so stressful and I get worried. i want to go to work but nobody will hire me now at 32wks and nobody would hire me back when I wasn't even showing either..I just feel at a loss today. I'm thankful for what i have but I wish money didn't seem to rule the world sometimes.

Thanks
I already receive assistance from the government, I budget it out but they don't give you extra to pay your bills or if you have a vehicle. I know its my doings owning a vehicle but I'd be lost without it after driving for 10 years. I pay market rent and by the time I pay that I'm left with $80 for 3 weeks..I can't depend on my child support, my mom helps when she can...I looked into subsidy for childcare for this baby and found out they will only cover it if I go to work, not school...which is ridiculous!! Its very hard to get ahead. I'm waiting for that bit of a break where I can get ahead just once..then I can make something happen.
