Hi im new to allnurses.com but i too am a parent of three children, i have a husband , a dog, birds, and i am also a full-time pre nursing student. what has worked for me is to try to plan a day ahead. Prepare for your daily routine ahead of time. if you have family members that can help you, utilize them. Remember, it took you a lot of work and effort to get where you are at, make the best out of every situation. As a Christian, I try to put God in first place above all I do throughout the day. I also try to read a verse a day and that brings me internal and external peace to know that I can do all things through Christ whom strengthens me. I hope you can find what works for you. Pray and I'm sure you will. Best of blessings to you and your's.
