The Longest Week EVER!!!

It's week two of my blog and I am just as lost as I was the week before. I couldn't wait all summer to final start the fall semester, but now that its here I am wishing that it was over. Im taking 6 classes and it is KILLING me. It wouldnt be so bad if I wasnt a single mom and working 40 hours a week. Im wishing I had some help. My mom keeps Emily on Wednesday nights for me, but I have a night class untill 7:30 and by the time i get home its 8. I study for a few hours and straiten up the house (the only time it gets clean is when Em isnt here) and go to bed. Im up almost every morning at 5 to study and have a few minutes to myself before i have to get Em ready and head to work. I love my job dont get me wrong. I cant wait untill i can finally say that Im the teacher and not the assistant, but im starting to think I've taken on way to much. I dont want to drop a class bc its already been paid for and i'de hate to pay for it again, but im running myself ragged (if thats a word). Im hoping I can get in grove of things soon, bc i dont know if i can keep this up untill Dec. Any words of advice? Anything would be helpful.

I have absolutely no advice, but I do know exactly how you feel. I have 16 hours I am finishing up this semester as well as working a full-time job. It is insane and makes me just want to pull my hair out. I am also newly pregnant and pretty much spend my entire day feeling like I am going to vomit all over everyone. Just know you aren't alone. I feel like giving up a LOT!!! It all seems so overwhelming. There is no time for me. I can't keep my house clean either and the clutter is driving me insane!

Im so glad to know that I am not alone. How far along are you, if you dont mind me asking? I miss being pregnant. They grow up so fast. My daughter is turning 7 next month and i cant wait to have 1 more.
