Why are you so sad?

Life isn’t perfect
sometimes you’re mad
why not be happy
with what you have

Why are you so sad?

There are plenty of people
who have it worse
they have not a home
or money in their purse

Why are you so sad?

So you wanted more
from this life
and you expected
more in your wife

Why are you so sad?

I know you had life
all planed out
and your wife
let you down


But why are you so sad?

I signed up and flew into La Guardia Airport, New York in July 1985
it was the first time I’d ever been on an airplane.
I did my basic training at Fort Dix, in New Jersey. I believe the Army hauled in sand for trainees to march in. Sand is a problem especially when you have a 50-lb rucksack on your back.
I was to go to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri for AIT but it was changed and I stayed at Fort Dix for AIT. My AIT was truck-driving school. My MOS was truck driver (64 charley) we called it 64 clutch.
The week I was to go home on leave before PP Hurricane Gloria hit and we had to stay a few days longer. Hurricane Gloria was my first and only Hurricane I was in.
I went home on leave and married my ex-husband, we were divorced for 3 whole months. It must have been the right thing to do we have been married almost 25 years now.

I was stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama with the 365th Transpiration Company driving 5-ton trucks. I drove trainees of all rank but mostly basic training trainees. I will try to write about some of the funny things that happened while I was in the Army.

January 2006
I went to work as a bus monitor for same company I drove for last. I had to fight doctors to get them to let me work. I told my doctor about this job before I put in for it. My doctor told me it would be good for me to try and do. The bus driver picks me up at my house at 10:40 AM in a mini bus. We pick up children at school at 11:00 AM and take them home. We have a 20 to 30 minute break, then pick up children and drop them at school. I am then driven home, I get home at 12:45 PM. I have a 2-hour break then I drive 5 miles and met another bus driver at 3:15 PM. We go to the school pick up children at school at 3:30 PM, and take them home. I’m done and back at home at 4:15 PM. This is a good job for me, I can rest between routes and that helps a lot.
My doctor made a big deal about me working after he said I could do it. He made me take tests that cost me 400.00 before he would say I could do this job. Mostly because of the medicines I take. But still why tell me its ok and then make me fight to work. I get no pension , S.S. or S.S.I. I fell threw the cracks I stayed home and took care of my family before my girls went to school.

Well now I feel dumber than I rock
My cat (socks) likes to walk on my keyboard when he want’s feed.
Very bad when you are trying to sleep my computer is in our bedroom.
Some how he turned off the number lock making my password useless.
Well now that I have that figured out I’ll try the chartroom again.
Sorry for all the trouble I really need to learn how to use computers better.
Thanks all,
