Welcome to nursing school....

Yesterday I was so very excited to get the ball rolling on my nursing school education, as you can see below.
So anyways, super excited and could not wait to go to school and be motivated, and while I was, about 6 hours later of lectures talking about how stressful the next year and 3 months my life was going to be, KA PLUNK! A good 75 pounds of books were dumped on me, don't worry though! The rest of them are online!
THEN! Some newly graduated nurses came in and spoke about how school pretty much consumed their life, they had to put their family second blah blah blah. By then I was pretty much convinced I was doomed. I text my mother and she reminded me that none of them had been in the Marine Corps though. I totally forgot about that and remembered how stressful life had been back then between kids, school and Marine Corps. So I am convinced I can do it and still have a normal life. HOPEFULLY! After orientation, I rushed over to the day care and picked up my 2 little ones. They weren't in the clothes I left them there in.... My son completely through potty training out the window and the baby blew out her diaper. GREAT! Upon arrival to the house, my son wanted me to carry the baby, diaper bag, my books, and him upstairs and would throw himself on the ground until that happened. Perfect! So thank God for grandma and grandpa, they swooped in and saved the day! 
Those 2 were off to their grandparents for the weekend! Enough of my bitching! I decided to take  the evening off running, though I did put in a mile that morning for time. I did a mile in 8:49. Not too good, but its a start. Today's agenda is going to be an easy 2 miles and an easy cycling workout just to prepare for my long run tomorrow. I am scared that in the next year I won't be able to keep up with my running regimen and I will fall behind with everything. Any advice?

How was nursing school and juggling everything else?
More potty training tips?
Is it all worth the daily struggle?

Feeling overwhelmed, but committed.
