Ask a family friend or relative to watch your kids over night. (or even hire someone!)

Take a long hot bath. Light candles, use your favorite bubble bath, listen to soft music, and even read a book in the tub if you wish.
Then get 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep! You'll be amazed at how revitalized you are.

Do this periodically. You'll restore your sanity, I promise!

Sounds like you've been there for everyone and you've been neglecting yourself. And what's that 'everything' you've tried? You mean vitamins, coffee pills or... not drugs I hope?! Why not get your kids to help you? A little healthy emotional blackmail might just do it for you. Tell your kids that their mum is very tired and would be a much happier mum if she had some more rest. They will feel really sorry for you and even if they are too young to do things around the house they will behave better so that you can have less trouble with them. Definitely get some more sleep because not having enough sleep can actually raise the stress hormones in your body, which will wear you out even more! Even just an extra hour per day is very helpful. Or you could catch up with your sleep at weekends. Ask another family member to take the kids to the park on a Saturday afternoon so you can get your head down for 2-3 hours. Perhaps your husband's family might also want to help with the kids...There are lots of possibilities if you speak to those that are around you, don't be afraid to ask.

I would say if the cause of your constant tiredness isn't an underlying health problem, usually eating right (not a lot of sugar or junk food, and lots of water) and getting some exercise helps out. I like to go for walks, because it's something I can do for myself, but my daughter can go with me. It's hard because of the lack of time, but I always feel good after a walk.

If you've tried a number of things without success, perhaps you should see your doctor. Some tests might come up with something that a prescription can help. I know that going to the doctor can be a little scary when you don't feel right, but at least you would know. Could be something like anemia that some extra iron would alleviate.

Good luck!

Take some time for relaxation exercises, you have to take time for you -- or you'll go insane!!!! Plus, you may not even realize your not treating the kids right, because your so lost in your head. All you have to do is close your eyes and think of something beautiful, or see yourself in a beautiful setting, and meditate for about 15-20 minutes. Watch your breathing techniques as well, slow and easy. When you open your eyes you'll be grounded, and you'll have great energy. Good luck, and enjoy the kids while their young!!!!!

Eat a healthy diet and make sure to get enough vitamins and minerals. Once you do that, your tiredness will disappear and you will have plenty of energy.

Tiredness, bloatedness and lack of energy is mostly the result of our modern diet which relies too much on processed and pre-prepared food, most of which is too rich in fats and sugar.

if you can be alone. try meditating for at least thirty minutes... no noise, may just the sound of a gentle water flowing, sit with your legs crossed, eyes closed, then think of nothing else except for a single syllable word, repeat in inside your head, relax your mind and body, breathe deeply but don't sleep...you just have to practice..

one way of meditating is praying.. what could be better than talking to God, thanking Him, praising Him, laying before Him your concerns... God bless!

Get someone to come in one or two times a month, like another family member and take over for you for a day then go out to a spa or go shopping or just get some rest. You have to take some time for yourself.

You have a lot on your plate. You need frequent breaks and quality time with your hubby away from the kids. Try mini vacations thru the year as schedule and babysitters allow!
