I am glad that we have gotten into a better living situation.  We have a two bedroom apartment and our son has his own room again.  We pay a reduced rent based on my husband's income.  The gas and electric are included in the rent.  I am just so depressed because I have been looking for a job for over FIVE years now to no avail.  My husband doesn't make that much so we still have to end up going to the food pantry every two weeks.  I know the food is free and I should feel grateful.  I do feel grateful but it takes so much time out of our day.  I just would like to get a JOB.  A part-time job would be perfect for me.  I could work during the time our son is in school.  I feel like I have not contributed anything to our marriage for five years.  Yeah, I know I do the cooking and cleaning and taking care of our son when he comes home.  But I still feel like I have not contributed much.

Have you thought about working things like mahalo.com or turk.amazon.com? It's not alot of money, but sometimes it's enough to make an extra trip to the grocery store....
