I am just so very exhausted. It just seems like I can never catch up with all that there is to do. I've had an incredibly busy 6 months~ finished my masters, took my comprehensive exam, teaching 40+hours per week, parenting 24/7, weekly appts for 3 of us, just finished coordinating student's prom, have to finish student's yearbook this week, have just started working on daughter's school play.
not trying to be supermom.....just want a break. I've given up on ever having a clean house, or drawers full of clean laundry. just so very tired and burnt out. glad most things are coming to an end.

My pice of advice: Don't even contemplate doing your PhD for a few years!

Hope you have a nice holiday when school finishes.

I feel exhausted just reading your schedule!

My mum was similar: raised 3 kids, worked fulltime as a teacher, studied part-time, my Dad was sick etc

It sounds like you are over committed!

I think there is a time of the month that we women feel like superheros... Only the superpowers pass and we are stuck dealing with our over commitments!

The only advice I have for you is to enjoy your summer break and try not to take on so much next year!

Best of luck!

It's a good think you've given up on these insignificant things like completing all the laundry. My basket is always full--figuratively and literally.

(I think I finally have this quote thing figured out).

Good luck with your degree. All that work will be worth it. I go to school full time, have clinicals, and a never have time to clean.

You will get a break. Those who work hard get breaks as a reward.
