You need to take some time out for yourself. Take a walk, go to the gym, a bubble bath, take a class or whatever you want to do. That alone time does wonders to refresh your batteries and self worth. You, your kids and your husband will be better for it. When mommy is feeling run down, everyone feels it whether it's obvious or not. It took me 8 years to figure that out.

Ask your hubby to watch the kids for an hour or so. Or is there a daycare center you can use by the hour? Do you know any other moms that might want to try play dates? Do you have family close by that can watch the kids a few hours a week?

I'd also have a long talk with the hubby. Let him know exactly how you feel and what you need from him (support, acknowledgement, etc). My hubby and I have these talks every so often. He seems to need little reminders every now and again.

I hope you're able to find something that works for you.
