Anyone here have small kids?

[Muggle]

Hi, everyone! This is my first post on the forum - love the board! I was wondering if anyone here is testing/going to school with small kids? We have preschool aged Irish twins and I'm going to be taking my first CLEP in September when we get back to the US and starting a B & M school in the spring. Hoping to shave about a year/30 credits off my general ed requirements through CLEP. Id love to hear from anyone here who has done it! How did you balance school, work, and the family? Any time management tips? Anything you wish someone had told you? Any tests or classes you wish you had taken together or hadnt combined? Im pretty nervous about going back - Ive been out of school for about 8 years and even then I wasnt a stellar student.

Thanks in advance for any replies. Im sure I will be hanging around here a lot now :-)
