Crumbling

I think I may just completely crumble here before too long. There is so much that I feel on my shoulders right now and I don't know how to handle it all.  I have a mountain of stuff to get through for school in the next three months. Two major Praxis exams that I need to pass in order to get a teaching license and 6 classes to complete in the next three months.  I am feeling it hard core.  I've also got to finish a restructuring of the menu for the Brick House, deal with the financial strain of trying to keep the Brick House afloat, I've got to paint the kitchen at the Brick House, figure out a solution to the floor behind the bar at the Brick House, launch a few new menu items at the Brick House, deal with employee issues at the Brick House, try to sell a car or two for the folks, keep my child alive and help her to graduate from High School, help Jack get through a tough time he is having spiritually, help Andy make it through his last three months of practicing the trombone, keeping up with math and reading and battling with him every morning to overcome whatever mysterious illness he feels is coming on so that I can get him on the bus and to school.  I have calling stuff to deal with as well.  Somehow we keep pressing forward but I don't know that I can keep up with everything I am feeling right now.  I just spent the last hour and a half looking at part of the test prep for my upcoming Praxis exam.  I struggled through some of the sample questions and need to spend some time studying this stuff.  I cannot afford to fail this test - especially since it ran me almost two hundred bones just to sign up.  I will put in the work, I will do my best, I will rely on the Lord to give me the strength to carry on.  I don't quite know how it is going to happen but will just keep moving.  What else can I do?  I might have to go to Hawaii in June if I can make it through the next three months.  This year is going to test me.  It is going to test me big time.  Oh, I also have the Autism Conference to cater in the middle of April. Can't forget that. Can't forget SUU graduation coming up as well and the fact that my back end manager is leaving for 10 days on a little vacation at the end of March.  I need a corner somewhere so I can curl up in the fetal position and cry a little.
