Take a breath. Ask a friend or family member for help with the kid. Lock yourself in the bathroom and take a bath. Listen to soothing music. Teach your child the benefits of "quiet time". You could always go into the bedroom and punch a pillow. Drink chamomile tea. Vent your feelings in a journal. Eventually you will find what works best for you. In the meantime, realize that your toddler will only be at that stage for another year or so, and will soon be in school. Which will give you some much needed down time.

Call a friend and see if you can get outside with the kids - you all could use the sunshine and God's blessings! I'm praying for you!

Yoga is a great stress reliever but with a 3 year old I'm sure that this would be difficult to find the time for, they are pretty active at that age. Deep breaths will help and just clear your mind or take a walk even with the 3 year old, I find walking always makes me feel better. You have a lot on your plate at the moment so what you need to do is prioritize what needs the immediate attention and work your way down the list. Good luck I hope it helps.
