Working parent burnout

I'm a mother to two boys (two and one year old). I work full time and looking at moving up in the company. Their dad works graveyard and we're both exhausted and barely have a love life. How do other parents keep from getting so burned out?

I am married and mother of 3 ( 10, 8, 5). I used to burnout when I do not how to set my priority. But praying helped me and asking the Holy spirit to guide me as a mother and a wife even though I have a lot to do.

I can't imagine how hard you are working right now with 2 little ones! I think you actually need to prioritize YOURSELF. Make sure that each day you have at least 15 min to an hour to do something for YOU- this could be going for a walk, enjoying a magazine, or watching a favorite show. Ask for help when you need it, and talk about your feelings with your husband (he probably feels the same way). Maybe you could plan a nice night away for the two of you that you can look forward to.
