It can be a struggle at times. I found using a planner or date book helped out a lot. I posted work hours for myself, my husband and the kid's schooling, after school events and appointments. My work schedule was a little more flexible since I work at a hospital here in town. (I worked days, evenings, and night shift along with alternating weekends) My stepson had ADHD, Tourettes and Bi-polar disorders and if this wasn't a challange. Chore schedules, along with homework schedules were worked into the daily routine. (Both of these children were in Junior and Senior High at the time) I did a lot of crook pot cooking to help with such a hectic schedule. I also was able to prepare meals during the days that I had to work the late shifts or we had several games or functions going on. (husband with 1 child and myself with the other child). At times, we would also have our nephews with us so that their parents could have a weekend away.
