What is my options after failing a employee drug test?

I was working for the temp service Kelly's at a spark plug plant here is Sissonville WV. I was really happy to get the job. I was looking forward to having a career there. I read there whole book and dealt with a difficult supervisor that was training me. They let me come the first night without taking the drug test. I went the second night after not having time to take the test. Than sadly here on Friday I went to take the darn test and couldn't pee. So I got let go fired for refusal of the test when I tried but couldn't take it. I told them I wasn't able to take the test. I had my son to get from school. I stupidly assumed they would understand and let me redo the test. But now they terminate me. I am on SSI for ADD and have been for a while. My wife works hard at Hampton Inn here for our family. We have limited income. So we fight a little for the bad happenings. I promise her I won't at all give up. So I got to try for employment or training. I took night shift at the plant so the kids wouldn't have to be in daycare which is expensive. I would have to wait until my youngest son only 2 now until 2013 to be in Kindergarten so I can get day time employment so I can do something. Any suggestions at all? Would you just wait and stay on SSI or look hard for jobs and maybe train for something. I am proud. Everyday I read to keep my abilities up. I am confident in myself yet have some insecurities. Jobs are few here for the not experienced worker. Suggestions? Thanks!

2. Reapply. Next time understand there are thousands of people looking for jobs; and passing that test is a must no matter what you have to do or when you have to be there.
3. well they should not have fired you because you were unable to pee ,you should have told them your bladder is empty right now ,but you'll do it when your able to pee .
4. I will be praying for you, i will tell you something very interesting a few things. #1 this country is about to prosper, usa. Read kim clement prophesies they are very encouraging and ask them to pray, the bible says matt5 pray to Him in secret and He will answer you obiously or apparently. Keep studying and asking God to lead you...God has showed me something incredible in the word these past 10 years, i will tell you because this is worth more than money. He showed me or my church and other churches have showed me we dont have to die. Physically. That is the real gospel. We are the sons of God. But there is a develope to it. As Paul said until Christ be formed in you. Well along with the teaching God gave me a vision and the vision was the manifested Christ as my self. Well it was the coolest thing i ever saw. COOL. But in the mindset God showed me we would have health and wealth. So continue to pursue God and keep talking to Him, because you want the character of Jesus. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, and when we become like Jesus who is our example everyone is going to want you in their business. Or at that point you will have the same power as Jesus to have your own business. I know this will take development ...but this is worth more than money. It was like that scripture that says i wish above all things that you prosper and be in health. And dont forget your parents if you have to go live with them for a while. Someone down the street does that and for years, no big deal. The parents love it, they have a small attached house. God bless.
