I posted my one and only diary October 18, 2008. How strange it is to come back and read it four years later! I can't tell you how heartbreaking and desperate I found it to be. I remember that woman though and I feel so sorry for her. Four years later and I feel I need to update everyone who was so kind as to comment on it then. I think what I have to say will answer that question everyone asks, "are you better off now than four years ago?" Please, follow me after the fold.

This is my first diary. I've been thinking a lot today about my life and I wanted to share what being part of the working poor actually feels like. Some of our friends are fortunate to have good jobs and some of our friends are fortunate to have parents with good jobs. My husband and I have neither of these.
