Check this out - I have put together a list of summer and online SLP programs that may be what you are looking for. I am currently working full time as an SLP and going to school during the summer. It works out perfectly because I can pay my tuition without increasing debt, we've kept our house and our jobs, and a lot of the work is online or requires short trips to the campus. I also started out in another field and ended up changing directions because my job just wasn't making me happy. I probably wouldn't have been able to make this happen if they didn't offer these non-traditional type programs!
I agree what smslp said - the programs are excellent and the professors are top-notch. My favorite thing is that the cohorts are made up of people from incredibly varied experiences and of different ages. Your classmates are a wealth of knowledge!
In terms of balancing work, life, an school... you can make it happen My boyfriend just went through a super intense master's program that was packed into a year while working full time. It was a little stressful not spending time together, getting behind on things, and basically having no life BUT remember that it is not for forever and if it leads to a better quality of life for you and/or your family then just keep truckin' forward!
