Hi,
Sorry this might be a bit long, and or ranty, but I am wondering if any one is in the same situation as me!? - Im juggling so much and I swear Im going to go batty.
After I had my daughter, DH told me to quit my job, to follow my dreams, so I went back to college to do an access to higher education course and applied to university as well.
Unfortunately, we aren't really in a position where I can afford not to work as well as study, so I do domiciliary care evenings and weekends (2 evenings 6 - 10pm, Sat 8am - 4pm and Sun 8am to 10pm).
I have lots of homework to do - constantly have an assignment on the go, and to get onto the degree course, I need to achieve 30 credits at distinction, so my work has to be to a really high standard.
So, homework, work and a coming up 16 month old is hard work.
Any how, I am now 7 weeks pregnant with number 2, and although planned this way (baby before uni - I'm going 2016) I am struggling with tiredness big time. I could go to bed at 7pm easily, but I have to stay up to study if Im not at work, and if I am at work - its a struggle.
I also have my horse to sort out daily (had him 12 years - not an option to sell etc as he is old now) I feel like I have bitten off more than I can chew.
If any one else is, or has been in this situation, I would love to know how you cope(d).
