Yes, I feel like life is unbelievably busy too! I often get much more done during the summer when the kiddos are home full-time. I refuse to put them in tons of camps (though I have friends who keep asking, "What camps are they in?"), because I like the floaty freedom of finding our own way during the summer. I think (for me) a lot of it comes from doing too much at school -- BUT, I also believe it's important to know my kiddos' friends and teachers, and working at school does that...so it's a conundrum.
Your schedule sounds really crazy. I wonder sometimes if that 'easier when they were younger thing' isn't an illusion, though. I remember myself being more focused/productive in the past, but I think after several years of having kids in the house there's a certain marathon mentality that sets in. It's harder to keep on going year after year after year. It slows me down.
I think also the jobs are taking more out of you than you realize.
Lots of sympathy from me, anyway. I know you are doing a great job with your kids. They are awesome.
