I want to do everything at once and I feel totally confused:

1) I am a stay at home mom. My husband is very traditional, he works from 7 am to 9 pm, and when he comes home, he refuses to do anything, he wants the house to be spotless and the food ready served to him, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the baby, so I am the one putting my baby to sleep and basically responsible for everything.
2) I don't have any money at home, because my husband does the shopping and does not give me any allowance even $5. So my social life is basically non-existent. I don't even have a car, because when I saved my money and bought myself a car last year, my husband sold it and took the money and I haven't been able to get a car since and of course he is not buying me one.
3) If you ask me why I take this slavery life, is because my green card is conditional and in 2 months I need to extend it. We've been married for 5 years and our baby is 3 years old. So I may think about divorce later on if he treats me like this, but right now, that's not an option.
4) I have been accepted to a distance-learning doctorate of business (DBA) program and I am gonna start it from next month and I am already panicking on how to manage my time. ( I already have a Masters and degree and last year I was studying PhD at a traditional university), so now with being at home, online education is more practical.
5) I want to work on my business idea (home-based IT recruitment business), I set up the website, wrote the business plan, prepared all the marketing tools and studied all the learning materials and even developed contact database of clients and candidates, but I can't find time to make those calls and run the business properly and even when I have some time (when the baby is asleep), I am so stressed and confused, so I end up doing more work in the house or reading books.
6) All these things could be possible if my baby was attending pre-school part time, but my husband refuses to send her to pre-school and he wants me to take care of her and because I don't have a car, I can't get a job outside.

Can you please tell me how I can better manage my life? I really need some help?
