You can get a planner or use the computer's calendar/planner and fill in every half hour with stuff like when you wake up, get the kids up and out the door, work, eat, study, clean, cook, etc. You are going to have to live a very structured life and you have to make sure that your family knows that. If you usually cook and clean then you can try to delegate that to your significant other and kids. You can schedule an hour or two or family time if you can manage on the days that you don't have work. It won't be forever. Just a few months at a time. Most importantly stick with the schedule.

Your schedule is crazy, intense!!! Oh my goodness!! Is there anyway you can get loans so you don't need to work as much? Honestly, cut the cleaning out of your schedule. That duty now belongs to the hub or the eldest child. Maybe, make one of the children the new sous chef to assist you (if their old enough)? Good luck!!!

You will definitely need time to study, nursing courses are pretty tough. You will need to make a schedule and stick to it. I recently quit my job because the burden of school and work was too much especially with a family to take care of too. Good luck!
