And, any other grant or scholarship anyone wants to send my way. (and work 2 jobs, plus parent 4 kids, and I'm also doing another Bible study course in my spare time...)
And, I dunno that I'm doing so well. I'm giving very serious though to quitting. I can't keep this up for years and years, and it will take that long to get a degree. I'm working very hard right now to make some plans, figure out how I can get a degree and not miss an entire span of my life, and my kids' lives, in the process. Life is far too precious for me to spend it exhausted and burned out.

Pace yourself. For what is worth until I was 31 I just had a high school education. I now have four degrees including a doctor of Jurisprudence. I have always had a full time job. Including law school. I merely purposed in heart the six years from now I was going to be six years older, with or without the education.
On the other hand. Pace yourself. No matter what was going on I set aside quality time for the boys on Saturday. It is not easy, but it can be done.
