Make her breakfast clean the house make dinner for the family you know do the stuff for her that she normally would do and like get the kids out of the house and give her the living room or the family room to her for the day. No talking to her like dont bug her!-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

Any one of those things can be done for $20-50 if you shop around. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Tell her that you would like to help her out, and ask if there is anything you can do. Help out with housework, and surprize the family and make dinner. Just you offering help will relive her stress.

You could have one day a week where you do all the house work maybe? And if you live near your school you could walk to school, or walk any brothers and sisters you have to school?
Or you could always arrange it so that she can totally relax when she gets home - you make the tea (or a cup of tea if you can't cook) and let her sit down and watch the TV. If you're really sleepy in the morning, go to bed earlier so it's easier for you to get up so she isn't stressed about you being late for school.
Good luck!!
Blessed Be,

offer to do the laundry or dishes, or cook dinner
go out for coffee or a walk so she can have a break.
