(Mom’s note – I typed and significantly edited this second-grade “poem” for spelling, but the words and sentiment are all his.)
What’s great about Papa:
I ask for a scoop of ice cream and he gives me 3 1/2.
He goes fishing every day.
He has a big, warm ice shack.
I never leave the dinner table without being full.
He loves playing Uno with us.
He gives me lots of treats.
That’s what’s great about Papa.

Awwwww – I love hearing stuff like this. My mom said if she’d known how much fun it was to be a grandparent she’d have done it first. *laugh* Then a co-worker told her that it didn’t work that way, that grandchildren are God’s gift to you for not killing your own! *snort* I think a few parents and grandparents might be able to relate!!

[...] This leads to the root of many of our challenges this year. I have too much on my plate. Our decison to homeschool wasn’t something we spent months considering. We jumped in with no curriculum or plan of any sort. I figured I could work around my business schedule — I sell educational products — and although my writing career had begun to gain momentum, I would just stop writing for magazines until I got my elephants in a row. In January, however, I was thrilled to find out a book I’d proposed to a publisher last April, was accepted. Of course I could make this happen. Becoming a published author is a life-list thing for me. Needless to say, until I submitted my first draft May 1, life was a little crazy for us. A lot has been neglected this year — bookkeeping, housekeeping, maintenance — and, although my kids have had really cool visits with grandparents, I have scarcely seen the rest of my family for a year.
