What is important to you? What, if it gets pushed to the back of the list won't break you? What is it about your family situation that you find makes this worthwhile? You are so busy being a whirlwind - with the occassional collapse (which most of the rest of us would call recharging, time-out, your time, quality self time, whatever) that you are losing a lot of joy.
The key is the hubby. Can you really live this way for the next 15-20 years? Is he really so important in the world that cleaning a kitchen or weatherproofing a fence would cause some horrific chain of events to unfold? Is his family and homelife so second-rate that he can let things go to hell in order to watch that next game on the tube or whatever it is he's doing?
I was Mr. Everything when the ex took ill, and I can tell you my marriage did not recover. Your husband has to carry some of the load, and you need to get your own space/time/whatever where a time-out does not create anguish and guilt.
My 2 cents
