Homeschooling while balancing everything else:
Does anyone else struggle to homeschool their children, while also balancing life? I am a single parent, who is in college full time, trying to work as much as possible, while keeping my house clean, trying to chase my dreams of being a writer and artist, and keep up with all my children's extracurriculars and I feel like I am drowning. (My kids are 6 and 2, and are very bright.)
Is there anyone else who is in a similar situation? How do you balance everything and make it work well?
(For extra information: They do sports three days a week, are part of a co-op, and do fieldtrips with other homeschool children almost every week. They've taken an ASL class with me, and my 6 year old is already trying to read her first chapter book, and rarely get stuck on words. She's adhd and gets frustrated easy, but is very bright. They are thriving.
I'm the one that's not. My grades in college are fine, I have even been on Dean's list multiple semesters. However, I'm not working enough to keep up with everything, and am scared I might not be able to keep paying for everything extra they do or even eventually our bills. Plus my rooms always a mess and there is always dishes. I haven't made any progress on my novel in forever, and the only time I do art is when I sell banners on the side to help pay for stuff. I'm running out of savings and panicking. On days I work or have school I rarely get even 5 hours of sleep. I just feel like I'm failing at almost everything, no matter how hard I try to schedule everything out.)
