mom of 3 needs HELP!! Anyone on here do daycare?

I have 3 of my own kids. I quit working outside the home 3 months ago. My kids are 5, almost 3 and my 3rd is turning 1 this month. I watch a almost 3 year old girl everyday and 2 other kids 3 afternoons a week. I need help finding the time and ENERGY to stay motivated. When everyone leaves I am BEAT.

Things I'm doing wrong.
-still can't find the time to eat my own breakfast.
-binge at night
-this week I have popped open a wine cooler while I'm making dinner to try to help me relax. My dinking goes in spirts.
-can't stay consistent with no sugar in my coffee. I've tried the zero calorie sweetners and always break down and end up with real sugar in my coffee.
-when I do get motivated to eat breakfast or less sugar I can never stick to it.

things I'm doing right -
I am good about taking the kids for walks and walking to the park.
I have reached out to 3 friends who like to walk but the weather has been so crappy we keep canceling.
I'm good at buyng fruit and veggies

I descovered I am addicted to high glucose foods. Even the fruits and cereals I like are on the high levels. I can't control my cravings!!!!!

my full time girl comes at 6:45 every day. I generally nurse my almost 1 year old at 6am and put her back to bed while I shower. I've tried getting up at 5am but can't stick to it because I'm sooo tired and it's hard to get out of bed. My husband gets home around 7ish and I'm always so beat from the day that I can't even imagine going for a run then. I just don't know how to get myself motivated and don't even know what is better for me, evening work out or morning? I know if I exercise more I will EVENTUALLY have more energy but how do I survive in the mean time?

Any advice, tips or words of encouragement?
