Everyday.....the Huber Way

Love that I found this writing prompt. I really need to write and reflect much more than I do. I believe in reflecting, I believe it is an art and a necessicty. Writing and reflecting us allows us to think about our actions, our thoughts, our mistakes, our joys, our beliefs, our relationships. I teach college level early childhood courses and I am always encouraging the reflective practice with my students. I reflect on my own teaching practice. But how often do I reflect about life....about God, family, my marriage? Pretty much never:(.

So here it, goes.....Everyday. Friday's prompt.

Everyday I drink coffee. Sometimes before I go to bed I start getting excited about my morning cup of coffee. Sad? Maybe...enjoying a very small thing in life? Definitley!! I have two things hanging in the bathroom that I hope will keep my day on track. They seldom do, but still...an attempt.

Don't Count everyday, Make Everyday Count

"Remind me again and again, Lord, that I have strength for everything through Him empowers me" (Phil 4:13)

Everyday I try to make count for both me and my children. My husband and I are both teachers and are both off all summer. With little money to spend and HOT,HOT,HOT weather....the days can be long. I start off with great intentions. The kids will do fun, family things. We will eat healthy. My five year old son will not beg to play computer games all day. I will not fight with my 11 year old daughter. My seven year old will keep me on track. "MOM, YOU SAID....." . I try to do some cleaning, keep the house cool, pay bills, do laundry, craft.

Usually around 3 it seems to go downhill. Fighting. Messes. Kids back on the computer (Oh, husband, too). I start asking for space. I hate that I do this every afternoon. What is going wrong?!! Too much to do? Too much pressure? UGH. Need to reflect more.
STOP

thanks for this, I think.
