Take an hour for yourself everyday.
Do some exercise like situps or skipping early in the morning; have a pullup bar across a door frame to use when the kids are brushing their teeth, and some pushup handles. Much more time effective than a gym unless you're really into something in particular.
Do whatever they like in the evening, get engrossed, forget forgetting your work, forget yourself. Their time is fascinating.
Edit: Get an early night. Enjoy doing even more tomorrow, today's done with.
