Trying to Forget-- Our Drugs of Choice? Dollywood and Dinner!

Still no word from Pete. Yesterday we went to Dollywood. We just needed to get out and forget. I couldn't sit in the house another day and look at Donny and feel the sadness and stress another minute. So we all got up and went. He hasn't been since it was silver dollar city, so it has changed alot since then. We rode everything possible with the kids. They loved it. They had time with their mom and dad smiling and laughing. Just living it up. When A saw the carousel she started clapping and Yeahing!!! She loves animals and is fascinated with all the painted beauties. We "splurged" and ate in one of the restaurants for lunch. We should've gone for cheap stuff outside it would have been better.
Donny got the tea cups going too fast and A almost barfed all over the cup all over us! Yuck, I screamed as I got a look of her pale,limp and green body laying against the side lifeless that something was WRONG! Stop it, Donny, LOOK! Yikes that was close, Donny doesn't even like the kids to put a hand on his clothes when their eating much less vomit all over his pretty little RALPH LAUREN shirt....
The train ride late in the afternoon almost put A to sleep. It was cute. She drank her lemonade and just sat back.

(oh yes,Much to our surprise (disappointment) it was department day at 21st and there were a bunch of their employs there....)

We decided to stop on the way home and eat. We ate with no issues but I got up at the end to use the restroom and took A. Donny and R were left. She started telling Donny how there was a baby in her belly (she has been watching Baby Bear Gets a Sister, from when A was born) and he just said uh huh and went on. She said LOUDLY "there's alot of ladies in here that have babies in their bellies". Donny looked and saw nothing, continuing to collect our stuff to leave. They proceed to get out of their chairs and R goes over to the lady sitting near us and says pointing at her face "this lady does" and glancing around says "see, all these ladies do". Donny laughs a small,weak (woody woodpeckerish)embarrassed laugh and shoves her out of the dining area towards the door of the restaurant leaving a lady staring a whole through him. (All the ladies around us were pretty good size, it being never ending pasta bowl night down at the olive garden you can imagine) We laughed so hard all the way home we couldn't stand it. She was totally oblivious as to what the problem was...kids. Thanks R we needed that!
