Academic Challenges

I am finding it difficult lately to get my school work done.  I have a large family of 7 kids 6 that still live at home and a granddaugther that lives with us.  Two of my younger kids are type I diabetics, and my husband has had surgery on his foot this term as well.   Sometimes I wonder how anyone person can have so many difficulties in their life.  At times I feel like everytime I turn around something else is happening, and I wonder if this is how other peoples lives are.  Last term was when I found out my daughter was type I diabetic just like her brother.  I had high hopes that it would happen to one of my other kids, but it did and it was very depressing for me.  I need to get my degree because my family needs to added income, but at the same with all that my life demands I find it difficult to get the work done that I need to so that I can finish the degree.  Thanks for listening, Donna
