I Will Write Those Lesson Plans Today

I resolve to work on lesson plans today.
Planning them a month in advance.
Hey! When did this book get delivered?
I read three chapters.
A bird flies past the window.
I run out and sprinkle some bird seed.

I will write those lesson plans when I return to the house.
The garage door goes up. I notice my art studio.
There are three paintings I could probably finish today.
I can’t finish them during the week can I?
I run back in and get my cell phone.
I put my friends on speaker while I paint.

Hey wait! Did I check out my two poetry sites today?
Forty-three messages! It would be rude not to answer them.
I get several poem ideas and write up ten poems.
Those lesson plans could be next, but these ideas are fresh.
If I do not write these poems now, I will lose them.
My husband wants to go out for supper.

Why not?
I can wake up early in the morning and write lesson plans.

Amazing. I used to have the same issue with lesson plans, and so did my wife. Why are they so cumbersome? So many other things command our priorities.

I think it is just redundant and boring to do.
