The agony of the job search on job boards...Part 1

So I begin this post unneccessarily disgusted and aggravated, because I have no job! Yes, I decided to stay home and do my motherly duties that never end. I also expected once I decide to get back into the swing of things...when I started my job search it would be easy.
I thought to myself all I need to do is to go on these particular websites put my resume on their and other info and VOILA a job will mysteriously appear, paying the perfect amount and giving me purpose, because it will be the job I so desperately want. I was so wrong. Looking for a job in this economic climate is like looking for Prada pumps at payless. Horrible insane.
I have been searching for a job for so long that I am an expert at it. However, I can count on both hands how many interviews I've had, but I consistently look everyday.
I have been looking for a job for so long that I have forgotten what websites that I am on. I was on a site yesterday and I saw a promising job and I started to enter my info, thinking it was my first time and they told me it was a duplicate login and password on the site. I laughed outloud, because I did not remember that I had already registered for that site.
I am very discouraged about not being able to find a job, since I have a degree. You would think that I could find a job easily. Not true...not true at all. It's very hard. I am in Michigan where the unemployment rate is pretty high. I am competing against people with Master's degrees and all kinds of on job experience and its very disheartening. When bills pile up and these companies do not care if u can't pay. It can get downright depressing!
As a writer, it's even more depressing with newspapers closing down publishing companies downsizing. I don't know why I am having the worst time trying to freelance for actual cash. I have gotten plenty of jobs that are FREE, but I think my words and my work is worth pay...don't you think??!!
It's pretty dismal right now, but I'm sure things will turn around soon. It has to turn around. There is a job out there for me somewhere. That pays good and will allow me to do what I love to do...write.
