You sound like a parent! Lemme tell ya, as a parent, it's incredibly tough to find time for yourself.
I've come to realize my limitations, and have learned to say "No, I don't think I'm up for that. I'd like to just have a quiet evening at home."
It's actually quite cathartic to have put the kids to bed and done the dishes, only to not have anything else to do in the evenings around 8:30pm, and just be able to watch a show or play a video game, etc.
You've got to schedule "you" time every day. Whether it's in the mornings (fat chance) or after the kids have gone to bed, you've got to do it.
