Thursday Tidbits.

• I am buried in grading up to my eyeballs....and more projects are coming into my office next week. It's that time of the semester.
• I am battling a cold that just wants to hold on.....it's hard to teach with no voice and a stuffed head and runny eyes. I just pray that I'm not developing some type of adult-onset allergies. I have never had allergies in my life, and, as I told my husband, I refuse to get them now.
• Tomorrow, I am off on a weekend crop with some friends at a local summer camp where we stay in cabins and crop as long into the night as we want. I'm ready to get some pages done and enjoy some uninterrupted crop time.
• We have our first t-ball game on Saturday, so I will come back into town for that. I just love this age, where it is a HUGE accomplishment for all the players to actually be paying attention to the game as opposed to playing in the dirt, chasing bugs, waving at Mom and Dad......
• As I was typing this post, my son crawled up in my lap with his scrapbook. "Read this to me please, Mommy" he said. So, of course, I set the computer aside and spent a delightful 30 minutes reading and looking at his book. We have looked at this book many, many times before, and he always sits totally enraptured with his own story.
• And that's why scrapbooking and storytelling is so, so very important.
