Since you're getting screwed (probably at around 20-25% interest) on your card balances, you might try a few things.
Try putting off paying other bills (eg, utilities) for a few weeks, and then pay the remaining balances off later. Usually takes a couple times for utilities to charge you late fees, and they're usually pretty minor.
Do balance transfers on the high interest cards to new cards with lower fixed fees for six months.
Your problem is a cash flow (timing) issue, problem is the credit card company will win this one all the time.
Just stick them into a drawer until they're paid off.
