I have two jobs, one is in the day time when my 3 kids are at school the other is at a bar when my kids are sleeping. This is the first time i have ever been so busy and i feel really tired all the time and i want to be a good mom for my kids but i'm always to tired to do anything with them. I need the jobs because i want to save money for a car. The problem is that I think the stress from being so tired all the time is starting to cause severe depression and most of the time i feel like i'm holding on to life by a single thread.

Is the Car a "Need" or is it a keeping up with the Jones "Want"? Many people go after a new car when a good used car or even repairing the existing car would fulfill all their needs. And I don't want to hear the "its not worth the money" or the "its too expensive" excuse. ANY used car can be maintained Very well for a fraction of A new car price.
If you dont have a car and you are looking for a new one consider this: You can buy the same model of car you are looking at for Half price or less if you buy it 3-4 years old instead of new. Let the other idiot take the depretiation hit, and you can save half your money and drive a car with 20-40k miles on it, which will last you many years to come.
Remember that your family is the most important part of your life, a new car doesnt even rank in the top 10. Your family is feeling the strain of your Jobs more than you think. Make sure your priorities are correct.

You need to take a time out. You are no good to your kids if you are sick. Try getting a job that pays better or one that doesn't take so much out of you. You may have to let one of the jobs go.
Good Luck!

too many irons in the fire. first, stop beating yourself up, and second, you have to find some kind of balance in your life.
take at least one day off completely to yourself and your family....dont worry about the dishes or laundry or jobs for that one day...if you dont make time, then you will. you owe this to yourself and your kids. they wont remeber the car, only you

Why buy a car? It's not like you will be able to relax after it's bought with gas prices heading towards another increase.

You need your bf or husband to step up if he is around because you sound like you are losing it. You need you time. Just to relax. Take long baths when possible. Go Jogging this will release endorphines that will help you relax

Make sure you're getting sufficient nutrients and stuff. Your stress could be caused by that.
I wouldn't recommend it, but coffee can keep you a little more awake.
