Poetry

I have never like poetry and I was not thrilled to start this pod.  I procrastinated and dreaded every step towards greating my 3 submissions done.  And I will be honest I will react the same next week when I have 3 more submissions to finish.  Although, it was not as bad as I had thought I still want this to go away.  I preach to my children everyday to get the homework and projects that you really dont want to do finished first.  Why then can I not practice what I preach?  My excuse; I work better under pressure.  Waiting until the last minute puts pressure on me and I know that I have to get it done or else.  But I dont want that pressure for my kids.  What I really think is I dont want the pressure and stress from my kids to trickle down to me.  I want them to not have to wait until the last minute and stress out.  I want my kids to be more prepared and on it than I am with things I dont want to do.  I know I am rambling but this is what I learned this week from my kids.  Thursday night I was stressed, uptight, and impatient with everyone.  One of my kids said that I would not be this way if I would have done my homework sooner like I tell them.  I gave him a hug, told him I loved him and that I would try to do better. Later, I caught him cleaning up the kitchen.  I asked him why he was doing that and he said "because I dont have homework and you do!"        Maybe I should have homework every night!  HAHAHA!
