I just finished reading the July 2008 Issue of Real Simple, which I’ve been subscribing to for years. Since I didn’t start it until AUGUST, I realized that the cover story “More free time: realistic ways to tame your schedule,” was one I should read. If you’re the kind of teacher that I am (i.e., works from home after you leave school), then this article is a must-read!

Thanks for this article…I needed to read this!
I knew there was another reason why I liked you…I LOVE Real Simple…one of my magazine subscriptions that I will always keep! Okay…I guess always is pretty intense, but you know what I mean!
I’ll check out that article. Thanks. I made a real effort to be less intense last year than I’d been in years past but I am still a work 24/7 and let everything else go kind of person. Doesn’t go over really well with the family.
I can’t wait to read it. With my work, two kids and their hectic after school schedules, plus my post-grad coursework, I’ve already been anxious about how I’ll manage it all again after the slow pace of summer. This came just in time!
