kudos to you..
i m in your same situation .. i have a 2 year old and 4 months old daughters. i somehow manage things  not everyday. some days are very stressfull. 
i wake up before kids. i wash clothes and make breakfast.by the time my younger one wakes up. i bath her. and within one hour she sleeps again. by that time i wake my elder one . both of us eat breakfast together.  after that i take my elder one to kitchen along with me to make lunch . i make her engage in kitchen with me. younger one wakes up ..i fees her. i bath elder one. we play for sometime. we eat lunch . both kids will sleep after that. i get some free time then. i take some rest. i need it for the second half of the day. i prepare dinner. i make curry at that time. make dough for roti or dosa batter. i make roti/ dosa when my husband comes home at night.

as i m also in your same situation.,i can understand you.  it is very stressful sometimes. some days i feel very depressed. i lack sleep. i barely sleeps 5-6 hours. 
Dont worry. things will get better with time. 
i also feel sad when i dont get time to spend quality time with my husband. but he understands. we stay together but still somedays we talk through phone when he is at work. we dont get time to even talk at home in midst of kids chaos.

be strong be ptient.

Hello dear parent! Finish all household chores as soon as possible.  Communicate more effectively with your children.  Tell them stories from Babyhug story books to keep them engaged.  You can see that even your little one will be listening to you attentively.  Be patient and persistent in your efforts
