Boy, do I feel your pain! For four years I went to school, balanced my family, my writing and at one point, two jobs. It was hard to find time to just sit down and talk to my daughter and husband, much less some very valuable alone time. One suggestion you may want to consider is finding an on campus work-study job. Because the jobs are designed for students and paid by the state, you often can't work more than twenty hours a week, but most of the on-campus jobs are very easy going and will allow you to work and study at the same time. I was very lucky in that I found a job in the Department of Developmental Instruction at the university I attended, tutoring students in early algebra and writing essentials. I also did basic office work for the professors in that department. I recommend going to the financial aid office and asking to see a list of on campus jobs.

It might also be good to find a part time job near the university itself that is willing to work around student hours. Full time college student hours are crazy, which is one of the reasons it is so hard to find a good job. A lot of businesses in college towns will take this into consideration and be willing to work around your schedule.

Another option is finding one or two online jobs you can do in your spare time. Check out WAHM.com It's an online site specifically designed for work at home moms.
