Buckle Down & then Play with Mom...

Well, I am officially registered to take my NC State License exam this coming Saturday which is not far from now. I have quite a bit of studying to do and as usual, I'm SOOOO dreading it! I feel like a little kid that wants to throw a temper tantrum. "I don't wanna!" haha. I really just need to set aside several hours a day to study and then the rest of the time I can be prepping myself to temporarily transfer to Texas and do fun things with my mommy while we're here together. My dad, sister, and niece got on the road this morning, headed back to TX. I hope they had as much fun as I did. I think Taylor definitely did because Laura said she had a tear roll down her face the other day when we had to leave the ocean. So cute! :) I guess that's a little bit of 'visitor insurance' for me! She'll definitely want to come back for more next summer! :)

A short anecdote real fast. Taylor is 8. She's freakin' hilarious. We were in this teacher store downtown yesterday and it had all kinds of little figurine toys and stuff, some being plastic dinosaurs of all different varieties. I said I needed her to teach me the different kinds of dinos and she said (as she picked up a T-Rex with a big horn on it's nose), "Well, I know this one is a horny T-Rex". LOL. As you can imagine, my mom, dad, sister, and myself started cracking up. She has no idea what she has just meant by that statement. And in her infinite wisdom and slightly out of embarrassment she adds, "No, I'm just kidding, it's not really a horny T-Rex". Again, laughter! It was unescapable for her. Hilarious to us.

Alright, I guess I'll go start studying before mommy gets up and going. Wish me luck! :)
