I let Trent stay up late last night and sleep in late this morning so that I could get some studying done. I thought it was a good idea until I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get us out of the door on time. As I slopped peanut butter and jelly on bread and left the kitchen a disaster from breakfast thinking it will just have to happen later... I thought, "this must be what being a mom feels like."
Once again, we went to work. It has been such a blessing that Trent has complied with this so well. He hasn't complained once! Hilarious moment in the workplace: when a co-worker realized Trent's name was Trent...not Trey. Trent had been letting him call him the wrong name the entire week without correction.
To take a break from work we explored Downtown Raleigh!
First stop: North Carolina Museum of Natural Science. It is such a awesome and interactive place. In the newly added wing of the museum is a room where you can touch and hold (stuffed) animals. When you place the animal on the really awesome table, the table lights up with tons of information about that animal you placed there. Mind blowing, really.
Second Stop: The North Carolina Museum of History. Because we went there last summer we just went right to our favorite places during this trip. Can you guess what that consisted of? NASCAR cars and guns (seeing Earnhardt's car was our favorite!). I don't have much to stay about that. At this point you have already stereotyped us as rednecks. Fair enough.
Also, while leaving the museum we decided to find our counties tile to learn what year it was founded. Pasquotank county that is. Surprisingly, but not so surprisingly.... someone stole it. Classy ya'll. Real classy.
Third Stop: Yogurtland. It turned out to be a big hit because they are having a Looney Tunes themed summer. Apparently Carton Network has brought back the classics. Trent has been talking about them all week, so the Daffy Duck bowls and spoons were a great source of entertainment! Strangely, while we sat outside eating froyo, a women walked up and asked me to take care of her dog while she grocery shopped. I agreed.... and was shocked by the great amount of attention it brought me. Is it bad I didn't say it wasn't my dog?
We then went to Day 2 of the Super Summer Adventure club and learned from the life of Paul we don't have to fear because God is always with us!
At this point I was beat, and would have loved to go through a drive thru for dinner, but NOOO, "I don't really like restaurants." When asking what Trent wanted for dinner I was responded to with, "whatever good you have at your house to cook!" So late night cooking it was. I do not cook for myself often, so really it has been a treat this week to eat real meals!
I studied some more while we watched the Elf and then just took a midterm. Taking a midterm at 10pm isn't ideal by any means, but when else was I suppose to do it??
So I sit here pondering: This must be what being a mom feels like!?
