Lifes little slices - by charliesgirl_992000

"Uh OH, better stay off the roads!!"

just kidding. She doesn't have her lisence yet, but we did take her driving today!! <soft smile> just on some secluded roads. driving,or atleast doing so without being super nervouse, has been hard for Kaitlyn. i feel bad because she wants her lisence sooo bad. i tell her, "we're all differnet, and not everyone does everything in the same time frame." bless her heart, she shakes like crazy even on a dead end, rock road. <soft smile> she'll get it though.

Kaitlyn Driving!!

we had an awesome day today. driving with Kiatlyn and then a day out at Ohiopyle Waterfall and natural slide. The natural slide was too fast from spring rain, so no riding down in, but the hike, the veiw, the rock climbing [not real rock climbing <grins> was jsut wonderful.

"Cold!!!!"

i love ther energy here. it's only 30 minutes from our house. There are 3 great places to go here. this water slide, a wonderful 30ft water fall and a big water rafty part. there are also other things like kayaking, campgrounds, even a tube hill for winter.
ok i gotta go. we're getting ready to jump in the hot tub before watching Schindlers List [whatever}. we worked in the garden some tonight too. got the fence post in and will stretch the fence onto it tomarow. got about 10 mammoth sunflowers in before they died. they where the biggest ones, and bursting from there cup.

Tammy,

Kaitlyn will get there. I hated driving and didn't even want to get my license when I was younger. I got so nervous. But then once I got my license....damn I loved driving.

The waterfalls look amazing!! I can see why you like it there

Kylie, my son Chris wasn't in a rush to get his license either. he'll be 18 june 6th and he just got his permit a few months ago. me, i waited until i was 21. we all do things differently and the beauty of life is,"Thats ok huh!!"
we LOVE this place!!!my favorite place to spend a summer day. except home ofcourse. <soft smile>
Thanks for being here, Tammy

Getting a license is such a bittersweet experience for most moms. On one hand we don't have to be a taxi driver and on the other hand we miss all of the "intimate moments" driving our kids around.

the waterfalls are beautiful!

Mis, "You are sooo write!!" Kaitlyn starts her first job on Friday and saterday and i am sooo excited to drive her, but that excitement may wear off at some point. <grins> just because i have prodjects going on. stopping in the middle to run back and fourth. The beauty of living in our town though, she works a mile and almost a half from our house. sooo convenient. also we're getting an AppleBees right by McDonalds where she is starting. she wants to waitress until college. she is sooo outgoing, and people are always drawn towards her. i think she'd do well with tips.
"Thanks for being here!!" Tammy

Tammy -

My sister was like that, terrified to drive. My brothers had no problem, I adjusted okay, but put my sister behind the wheel and it was a major freak out moment. She was all start and stop, but not gracefully, and once backed the car (gently) right into a tree. It would have been funny if I wasn't in the car.

I love Ohiopyle. If I lived near there, I think I'd be there all the time! I'm hoping I get a chance to make another trip while the weather is perfect for it, but I'm not holding my breath. The way things are going for me right now, I think all travels are going to stop at the end of July and I'll spend the autumn and winter nestling in at home.

Great pics!

Wendi, for kaity, she wants to drive sooo bad!!! talks about it all the time. even with the test, she just sin't learning it easy. all in good time, all in good time. Thats what i tell her. she tries soo hard. now chris, he's had a car over a year and just never cared about getting his permit, until finally in february. one day he just asked if he could go get it. <shrugs>
with Kaitlyn i'm realy just working on a dead end, no traffic road. having her drive up alittle, pull to the side, and stop, take off, drive up, pull over and stop again. teaching her the stopping is number one right now and how to pull over without going in a ditch. having her back down the road and then do it all again. it'll be awhile before we're on the road. we don't even have her permit yet, but like i said, we're not on a road. you only get your permit for soo long, so we're waiting until 1. she can pass the book test. which she's getting better. 2. she can do the above without shaking like crazy.
she'll get there!!!

My sister didn't get her license until she was in her mid to late twenties. Driving is a huge responsibility and it can be a lot of pressure, especially being aware of how many accidents take place on the roadways. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a bit of extra time to make sure you're really secure and ready. She'll get there!!
