When you had your first baby how did you manage to get back your life?

I hope I'm not wording this question wrong but that is just the way I feel inside. I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy 6 weeks ago. This is my first Child. I'm a College student and I'm trying to get back into my field of law enforcement. When people tell you that you will never have any sleep or time for yourself is an understatement. I'm not complaining in any way but I would just like to know from experienced Mothers how can I put me and baby on a schedule that will allow me to give him quality care and take care of myself such as schooling, housework and getting back to work. It seems that i have to make an appointment just to go to the bathroom! Being a new mom is hard, and I need to learn how to balance. I just feel like I'm not getting enough done. I don't want to be super-mama or even try to pretend but I don't want to sit idle and look back and say I should have done that and this. So can anyone give me advice about balancing Motherhood, and life in general.
