Trying to be a full time parent, full time student, and part time employee is beginning to suck the life out of me, but there isn't really a damn thing I can do about it. I COULD drop out of school, I guess, but that would be stupid... and I can't really stop working because I need the money to support myself to a certain degree. And of course, I can't (nor want to) stop parenting! :tongue: But I have no time for me, and I don't know what to do... I'm going crazy! This past week, I've finally said "fuck it" and started going to the bar again, but now I'm even MORE exhausted than I was before. As I type this, I'm laying in bed with my son trying to get him to sleep so I can continue with my homework. On Friday, I was assigned a total of five chapters to be read, and three assignments to be done by Monday. Yuck. Everywhere I go, I'm doing homework! lol. My son and I went to the park today and I brought my homework with me. I did homework while eating my dinner tonight, and I was doing homework when I ate lunch earlier today. All I've accomplished is reading two chapters and taking notes on them both. (They were both unusually long chapters, unfortunately.) After my son goes to sleep, I'm going to read a third of my two chapters, and get one of my homework assignments done. Tomorrow, I will read the remaining two chapters and do the two other homework assignments seeing as how all of it is for ONE class and it'll be easier if I can focus on one class for the day. I got invited to go to Super Bowl parties, but turned down the invitations after realizing my work load. On Thursday, I worked all day, then picked up my son from the sitters house, came home, did three loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom, and did homework. I got up at 7am that morning, dressed at 9am, and didn't get out of my work clothes until after 10pm that night. It wasn't until 10pm that I could finally sit down and relax for a moment. This is how my life has been lately, and I hate it. I don't know if I'll be able to put up with this until May, when the semester ends. Ugh. My schedule basically consists of school on Mon, Wed, and Fri. days... work on Tue and Thurs. days... and then work one night of the week... usually Wednesdays, but not always. And then, of course, I have to find time to be a parent. Gah. I can't wait till Spring Break!
