I am like 1month behind in my bills and I can't seem to catch up. Nobody I know has money to let me borrow. I have 2 children now so it's not like I can get a second job. Any ideas on how to make a fast buck, legally?

Can you maybe do some babysitting when you are not at work?

Get all the stuff you don't really need in your house like dvd's, cd's, stereo, t.v, and try to have some sort of sale and then call the creditors and tell them to give you some more time that you will promise to pay them when you have the money. Just make sure your kids are o.k. and well fed with a roof over their head anything else luxurious does not matter!!

If you owe on credit cards, you can get a lower consolidated payment through credit counseling. If not, a financial counselor can still help you with budgeting.
I recommend using a service where the initial counseling session is free. Our is. Also, make sure that the agency has a satisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau. A diirectory of agencies by state is below if you need it. Good luck!

Start by saving. How much have you been saving?
Can you cut coupons, cut back on coffee, luxuries?
Try a shopping service, where you shop for others, and charge a fee. Do a good job.
Don't borrow any more, it is a dead end.
Are you getting child support? You did not mention if you are a single mom...

1. Quit smoking
2. Turn off cable
3. Eat out less
4. Live below your means by implementing and following a budget. If you make $3000 a month, live on $2500.

I don't know where you live, but there are social agencies that help people out almost everywhere. Here in Northern Indiana it is called CANI.
Check your phone book for social agencies and start talking to people

Can you ask your boss if there are any special projects you can take home with you? Perhaps offer to do it at a reduced rate to make it seem more attractive?

Get a Payday loan and just make little payments on it until it's paid.
This will work for an up to 500.00 loan.
