I think it is amazing that you are doing what you are!
The only question is perhaps the headaches are a way of your brain/body saying it may be too much?
If there is a way to change the hours or days minding the kids, you might be able to experiment a little. I know it's hard- sometimes the commitment has been set.
I find that when I push myself by doing too much, the migraines and headaches return. I try to slow down, and i am very aware of how lucky I am that I can right now.
Best of luck!
