One thing I found was that I actually felt guilty for making time for myself! But you HAVE to make time for yourself or you will wear down very quickly.
I found in my community respite care. I actually qualified for the help and would have an aide come in to help so I could get out. See if you have something like this in your community. Also, can a friend or parent come in for an afternoon on a Saturday so that you can go and pamper yourself?
In the evenings, when things settled down, I would go into the living room to read. It was my time to get away from it all.
I hope this helps give you some ideas. At least you know that someone understands.
