2nd grade homework

funny how i can sit down here on any night of the week and write -
i don't spend too much time thinking about it ...
and i don't get concerned about what people reading it will think.

BUT ...
i get asked to write something for a group of 2nd graders and i spend hours stressing about making it 'just right'.

with his birthday a few days away,
drew is the celebrity of the week in his class starting tomorrow.
being the celebrity of the week means that we have to put a poster board together of pictures
AND
i have to write a letter - to the class - telling them about drew.
sounds easy initially, right?
ya. not so much.

i want to fully describe drew -
but i want to do it in a way that interests 2nd graders.
i want to let drew know how proud i am of him (because that is the foundation of the assignment) -
but i don't want the class to break into giggles.
fine line here, people.

i have started ... and restarted ... and stared at my computer screen.
i have gone through my blog posts about drew
i have looked over my 'things i hope i never forget about drew'.
i have so many things i'd LOVE to say -yet here i sit concerned about my audience.

2nd grade homework, i tell ya.
i'd rather be doing algebra.
