Welcome!
Good questions. Actually, I've had your exact same problem-- trouble finding the time to deal with lucid dreaming techniques. Also I am abruptly woken up in the morning and spoken to, making it very hard to lay there and focus. This week I've had three days dreamless because of this. (Also I took a year respite from practice.)
Keep practicing on the weekends, and if possible (and ever you are free, tired, bored, etc.) practice via naps on the weekdays. Remember that the skills of lucid dreaming is acquired over time, and people learn at different speeds. Do not be discouraged that you have yet to succeed as you would have wished.
The dream recall will also come in time. You could try setting the alarm an hour earlier, waking up to remember and going right back to sleep. When I had my dream recall up enough my body seemed to wake me up every hour after 6 hours and I scored like 2-4 a night. If you do that with the alarm and then stop, I bet your body would automatically wake you up then anyway.
You just need to keep trying. Maybe you need more lucids under your belt or your too excited during the process. The settings have to be just right for you, so I suggest logging everything that seems to help, and everything that seems to hurt your WILD attempts.
Finally, when I first LD'd I couldn't fly. Soon you'll learn to take everything as it is and gain more mobility in the dream world. Don't focus or think on moving, just do it. 
Keep in touch.
