queenoftheskiesGot home about 15 minutes ago. Drinking a diet Coke. Going to sleep as soon as it--and this post--are finished.
A few minutes ago, as I was making a trip down the hall, I saw something that really meant a lot to me. Tonight, my sons got commendations from the school district where my youngest attends and my oldest coaches. Both for Academic Decathlon. They were both given photos and a thank you note each by the teacher who sponsors the team.
Youngest son was sitting in the floor in his room with a scrapbook kit I gave him for Christmas (gave each of the kids one to keep their special stuff in). He had come straight home, gone in there, and started putting his award, pictures, and note in his scrapbook.
It amazed me at Christmas that, with a video game and other things that I got him, he liked that scrapbook so much. I was so pleased to discover that he's keeping it up. He came in a few minutes ago to show me the results. That simple scrapbook meant a lot to him...and that means a lot to me. :)
I'd hoped to add more words to what I wrote earlier today, but I'm one of the living dead right now and must sleep soon.
