Suggestions please.... before I burn out!

I'm on the brink of burn out. Totally exhausted and lost all sight of any way out, or relief at all for life I find myself in!
Full time teacher, single parent to teen and tween, both with extra needs that make parenting and general home life utterly exhausting and I don't get a minute to breathe or just.... be!
Everyone suggests yoga... or mindfulness... or take up running but fact is I'm out of the house at work for 10 and half hours a day, and the rest of my waking hours parenting and trying to keep house in some kind of order. Juggling a billion plates and dropping them all.
Any suggestions of how to make life a touch easier to manage.... not mindfulness 😂

I'm going to say laughter, music and an indoor dance class.

Me too... and eat too much chocolate. Now none of my clothes fit and I've no time or money to rectify this!

Could you afford a maid, or a cleaning service once a week/fortnight? That would take some of the load off.
I'm sorry you feel so rubbish. Flowers

Sorry, just seen your update, so no help at all there.
