How Do You Do It?

Is anyone else going back to school, holding down a full time job, and have kids? I knew it was going to be hard, but now my job is most likely changing and I just don’t know what to do.

I wfh 40-45 hrs a week but my job is essentially laying off or we can stay and take a paycut. I’ve been offered a great job but it’s an hour commute. I feel like it’s worth it because it’s $6 more an hr which my family could use. But that’s really going to drive a wedge into my studies and time with my kids. I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like I’m already missing out on the best years of my kids lives (as a parent anyway, they are 1 and 2.) also these are the most important/ formative years and I don’t want to fuck them up by not being there.

Then there’s the issue of WHEN will I do school stuff? People say to sleep enough but if I do that I can’t get enough done. When I will clean or cook? I don’t want to give up but I just don’t know what to do. At this point I can’t stop, I’m only one semester in but I’ve already started so I have to make it work. Does anyone have any tips? Should I start drinking coffee?
