[quote=Anonymous]We had a death in the family and DD has missed a week of school so we're behind a bit to begin with.  Add in a bus that doesn't come in anywhere near on time and just 3 hours a day to get everything done and we are sinking.  Fast!

DD doesn't get anytime to play or unwind after school.  She gets home (usually between 15 and 60 minutes late), has a snack, hits the books while I help her SN brother with his HW.  I make dinner, the kids eat, get baths and go to bed.  Then we get up in the morning with just 30 minutes to get breakfast, dressed, teeth brushed and were off again.  DD has yet to be able to complete all her homework and one teacher is being an absolute jerk about it.  I have no idea where she expects DD to get these extra hours a day because they sure as Hell aren't coming out of DD's sleeping time.  DD is one of those kids that can't have sleep disrupted or she's an absolute nightmare.

The thing is DD is making huge advancements socially.  She is being invited to all kinds of parties and her weekends are booked for the next month.  The girls actually want to play with her and don't feel obligated because their mothers are my good friends.

I just don't know how to work this all through.  DH is deployed so this is all falling on me.  I'm just in tears because I don't know how manage all of this.  I've already developed shingles and am beginning to wonder if and when I should start drinking.
