Day 87

I am noticing my inner know-it-all is popping up in the last couple days. I can't control others! Trying to help the people around me is a good thing, but acting like miss bossy is not!
Lord help me be a listener!
I know I can't save someone else's marriage, but I can offer support to struggling people. It's a subtle difference, and I'm having trouble being aware of that line. I can offer advice if it's asked for, but can I call someone on behavior that's harmful to their marriage if they have been avoiding me? I keep recalling the plank and the beam, the casting the first stone, and all that.

On a totally unrelated topic, I am feeling really excited because I found an app for my trusty Ipad that is created in the FlyLady system! (for more info on Flylady check out Flylady.com) I love it so far, but it's only been one full day, so I know my opinion is colored by the "new app romance". I'm hoping to get into a solid habit of using this app before the warm fuzzes become cold and threadbare. Oh the app is called Home Routines, and it lets you create lists of tasks, that fit into a routine. I have a morning routine, an afternoon routine and an evening routine. I get to give myself a gold star for each task, and there is a tracker that tells me how many stars I have. Its not perfect yet, but I hear rumors that they are continuing development and adding more features to make it even better.Yesterday I did 32 tasks! I'm gonna try for even more today, and I'm going to add more fun time with the kids to my routines, hopefully that will help me give them more time with me.
Do you have any struggles/triumphs with household work? I'd love to hear about them in the comments! Here's a picture of my shiny sink!
