Try having a babysitter who comes to your home through the week. One who will take care of the kids plus help around the house! That will take some load off there and the kids will be more comfortable in their home as well! Then one night out of the week, have your sitter to watch your kids for you while you go out with the girls for awhile! I promise you that you will feel refreshed and whole again! Every parent needs downtime for themselves our we go insane. You're a good mom and hard worker! You love your kids more than anything! You just need to set an evening for yourself and an evening for just you and your kids! Just hang in there and things will get better! I promise! Good luck and God Bless!

I hear you Michelle. I'm in the same boat. I find the only me time is when the kids are asleep or my mother takes them for the night. This is when I get my school work done. God bless Redbull! Otherwise it's go go go. My kids are older now so I have it a little easier. Hang in there it will be so worth it in the end :) And your kids will be proud of your successes!
