My W-2 came in the mail today

and I wonder how I made it through the last year...altho I did make $4K more than I did in 2007..which isn't saying much...I'm living in (what I considered years ago) poverty.
Then I stop and think about all the people who are being laid off and don't have a job..I think to myself AT least I have a Job..and if I don't screw it up, I don't really have to worry about losing this job because of cut backs...people will keep having kids and Kids need to get an education..The county is opening 12 new schools this year...
So maybe I'm living on 1/3 of what Lar and I earned and lived on before he got sick back in 2000. At least I have a job, my own home with house payments that is lower than if I had to rent a place, my pink truck which is paid off (keeping my fingers crossed it hangs in there for at least one more year)..and my health (at least I'm not bedridden).
And now I can get my tax's done so I can at least maybe get caught up on the bills I've let slide this last couple of months with the small refund I get back...Who knows if I really bust my ass this year maybe next year I will be able to use the monies from my tax returns to go on that vacation (I'm dreaming about France)...
