HELP!!!

I need some advice. I am a single mom, work 1130p to 730a, graveyard shift. 2 teenage daughters. I am in my second semester of pre reqs. I am completelt exausted. I try to go to school in the mornings after work. This semester i have math at 8am, compI at 1245 and med term and Nutrition online. I just dropped Micro. iii Ive had Sociology with an A Intro Math B Writing Skills B Computer Fund A. How do we manage to work fulltime and do this. I am already a NREMT but I work a steady job to be able to see my kids everyday. I just don't even feel like their mom anymore. All I do is sleep eat work and study. My oldest will graduate from High school the same year i should graduate nursing... Should I wait????? I am only 33

I have two high schoolers also. I've chosen to go slow. I want to have the time and energy to listen to them tell about their day. That, of course, often leads to deeper discussions. Would they be okay anyway? Probably. On the other hand, when I get too busy/stressed, I can see it reflected (never in good ways) in their attitudes if not in more overt ways.

I also like time and energy to enjoy them; I have only a couple/few more years until they leave home. I have three that have done that also. I have strong relationships with them still, and I treasure them, but it is NOT the same. I don't want to miss these years with the younger ones: they say/do the coolest things, they are changing in such interesting ways.

I agree with Saysfaa. You'll never have the time with your children back again. And this is a time in their lives they need their mother, even if they don't think so. Slow down, take the time to enjoy your children. Time flies, and before you know it you'll be where you want to be, with less gray hair.
