  Well I'm sitting home alone for the first time in a coupla nights....strep ridden and feverish. freezing. Harold came down Friday night (yay!! ) after I'd spent the day at home with Joey due to his illness. We got bubble gum medicine from the pharmacy (amoxil) and had a time with it.....seemed to work wonders though... We took him to see and RIDE Thomas the Tank Engine at the urlLink Kentucky Railway Museum on Saturday....a urlLink Day Out With Thomas . Seems everyone in the area with children of age (10 and under) visited Thomas at some point or another. We spent no money. Thats right. i said no money. as in zero dollars....minus the $50.00 for the train ride tickets I purchased six months ago lest they sell out.....had one girl at work who spent $174.00 on videos and shirts and who knows what else.....Harold was all about eating at this ribs place in New Haven, but we packed lunch so why?
We DID end up chowing down afterwards at Arby's..... We rode the Train the first thing.....after a several-hour ordeal at home that involved contacts and a lost set of keys....we made the train ride with MAYBE five minutes to spare....then we went and ate out under a tree in the parking lot where joe was convinced he was gonna get run over by oncoming traffic or the cheesy mini-trains that were running around the parking lot. After that we went to the museum, which he loved and my allergies did not...Harold carried him around the museum (think small) on his shoulders and joe LOVED it..... Then we went to jump on the bouncy thing which, after standing in line for five minutes, joey started crying and wouldnt get in bc the kid in front of him was 150 pounds heavier and only a foot taller.....joey's face was in his big, fat, butt.
I'd be scared spitless too. so we journeyed over to the temporary tattoo booth with joey crying for thomas, then james then percy...... which he ended with percy and still has.... then we went and played on the wooden train sets for awhile..... and the few times we tried to go see sir topham hat (who i was REALLY interested in seeing) joey started crying and totally freaking out......it was still a good day nonethheless.
the next day saw us at Papa John's for Louisville Autocross.....harold won second again, only to scott of course.....big cup. We had a lot of fun....the day was cool and overcast with on and off sprinkles. HS ran the second heat so Big Man had to work 4th....but his heat missed the rain and they were like the only one that did.
Joey was **extremely** well behaved. He sat when I told him to and for long periods of time....and played where I designated. he brought all four of his hot wheels minis....he loves minis. LOL We came home earlier than Harold and while joe napped, i made dinner....mainly lasagna. harold liked it. I've never been a huge fan, though I'll eat it any day of the week. apparently he'll eat it twice on sundays . I think he was simply famished beyond words. We had a STRONG australian shiraz with a black pepper finish.....a bit much for the meal. it was recommended for a steak dinner so....yeah. shouldve stuck with that. Then we all cuddled up on the couch and spent some family time before joe went to bed....as different as that is given we're dating LOL.
harold always has been my family though. weird how sometimes blood just doesnt matter. Man i sleep so well when he's here. like nothing else. to be held all night by someone who wants to hold you all night.....extremely comforting. providing they dont pin you down in their sleep in the middle of the night so you cant move....until they drift back to sleep enough that their body relaxes.
yeah.
course i pretty much remained asleep myself.... that was different. but given my history, freaked me out a lil when i fully awoke the next morning and contemplated it. im convinced harold's gonna kill me in his sleep one night in the middle of a dream. fun times. truly. no more anecdotes. and she wants the kitchen a lil wider.... haha. love you.
