I can completely relate to your situation. I work 10 hours a day, am the single mother of a 12 year old son, and take care of my sick mother. So, there are never enough hours in the day to take care of all my responsibilities. I'm also working part time at home, to make ends meet.
My advice to you is to make a schedule and stick to it. I have to prioritize my day, keeping in mind that "life" happens, and stick as closely to it as humanly possible. Also, remember that you have to take care of YOU.
And, always remember that you are a WOMAN. God gave us the gifts of straight, courage, power, wisdom, and perseverance. Not to mention, we can multitask with the best of em'!!
Hang in there, it's all gonna pay off in the end, okay?

Prioritize! You still want to have time to spend with your children and relax. If you have any expenses that aren't necessary, cut them out and put the money you spend on them into a vacation fund. Figure out if all of these appointments are necessary. If not, don't be afraid to let people know that you cannot commit to anything else right now. Sock away some money each pay check. When you graduate, take a vacation with the kids.
