It was our first time out with our dirtbike and two ATV's so things did not go smoothly of course. The bike would not keep running and my hubby is the only one who knows how to work on them. I really must learn! };/ I should back up and tell ya we went to a place called Cliff's Insane Terrain. The web site said it had a place for beginners to learn. Well, we got there and the Kiddie Corral was only for smaller quads and bikes. My 9 and 11 year olds went around a few times but then wanted to hit the longer trails. My nine year old got easily upset over the fact that some smaller kids knew how to ride better than he did and with that gave up. " This is stupid " Problems crept up and adjustments on the smaller quad kept the kiddies waiting and waiting. Then my Hubby took the teen out on the big trails and the name of the place is all that it says. When they finally made it back there was mud, cuts, scrapes etc... Boy when my youngest saw that he was all for giving it another go. My daughter was not patient at all and whined the whole time, so we let her go out next. She went out on her younger brothers quad and he was happy to let her take it. Funny how some little things frustrated him soooo much and other (what I think are big things) do not. He waited and waited and waited. People around us were packing up and he knew he would not get a turn. Did he cry? No! He wasn't even mad! Me, I just pretty much sat around and watched the other riders. I do that real good, people watching. That was my day, feeling alone but not lonely. I thought I would feel more joy or something but I didn't. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sounds mostly good - were any photo's taken? - I'd love to see if so :-) > Thanks , and I survived.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi group its marsha here, big hug going out to all of you who gave me your wonderful insightful information. Maybe I am overdoing it some. I actually had a little side job with my younger sister cleaning chedders restuarant one night a week, she does it nightly, but I had to tell her today that I can no longer even do it one night a week. I think she understood, cause she is a breast cancer survivior and knows how hard it can be when you are weak. I went friday for my first blood work and have not heard anything yet, I am scheduled two weeks from now for another blood test. I will talk to my doctor about my weakness when I see him next week and I will get more rest. It is so hard to be a lump in bed or the couch, I feel so very useless and totally dependent on my husband for everything. He does it all with love and all, but I have always worked and brought home much more money then I have lately, and just feel kind of sorry for myself I guess. It sounds so pathetic when I read what I have wrote. I don't know how you all put up with me... But thanks for putting up with me and all you are truly wonderful people and I am thankfull for this group to be able to talk to others maybe that feels the same....
