> Hi Susan - nice to meet you!
<<Nice to meet you, too. :-)> You should probably know that I've got a lot on my plate, & she's (my priest's wife) concerned that I'm escaping into the internet, rather than dealing with the things/people which need my attention.
<<Wow, it *does* sound like you've got tons going on. And since I'm childless and husbandless, I don't really feel qualified to offer advice on how you manage your time. 7 kids is a lot. The only thing I know is that you are valuable too, so you need to find some *me* time somewhere. Not too sure how that happens with 7 kids, though. :-)> So...Perhaps I should limit myself to an hour a day? Is that even feasible? It can take me more than an hour just to wade through my emails!
<<Yeah, I know the feeling. The Internet *is* a bit addictive. Have you ever tried limiting Internet use to only certain days of the week, rather than to a time period each day? I find my break on the weekends (I don't have a computer at home) really does me some good. I guess I'm on the Internet a little too much at work. We have a really busy season where I can't even think straight, much less surf the web, but this time of year is soooooo laid back, there's not much else to do *but* surf....Well, sorry I don't have much to offer, here, but I wish you luck. Sounds like you have a wonderful support network and people who really care about you. That's great!
Take care,
Susan
