This comment is for Stellary (because I'm pretty sure she reads these journals despite her "I don't caaaaaaaaaare" attitude.)
You have two real options that I can see:
1. Keep on this path, taking all of these commissions *BUT* (and I cannot stress this enough!!!) doing the work you take on. You always say that your life is busy, but listen - I work 40 hours a week at one job, 10ish at a second, 4 at a third, and 5 at a fourth and I still take time to do things for myself. The reason that I can do this is because of *time management.* If you need someone to help you set up a plan to follow, then do it. And then stick to it.
2. Raise your prices so that you can make ends meet with less work for yourself. So for this you did what? 2 busts and 2 full images for $40? Do the busts for $40 a piece or something. You now get the same amount of money and only have to do ONE thing.
A third option that I'm sure a lot of people would like to see happen is you stop taking commissions all together. Since your life gets so crazy all the time, then you should SERIOUSLY consider this option as well.
