Whether it's with your husband or with a group of girlfriends, you need to get out and get away. Even if it's for a few hours, it will help. I can actually feel myself cracking at the seems when the stress of kids, work and let's be honest here, homework from three kids, (anyone who has tried to do common core math knows what I mean!) gets to me. You need to get out and be you for awhile. Have a glass or two of wine, curse because you actually can, and just have some fun. In the long run, you will be happier and so will your kids!
