Balancing Life Is Difficult

I'm married and have 2 kids under the age of 5. My wife does Uber Eats in the morning from 8am-11am while I stay home with the kids until I have to go to work at 1:30 pm to 10pm is my shift at a grocery store where I work. It's hard to balance life because I feel like I can't do the things I want to do. I can't sleep in because if I do, my wife will wake me up. After all, she has to go to work. By the time she gets home, I can't do my things because I have to get ready for work, and then put the kids down for a nap around noon which doesn't give me a lot of time to read, play video games or watch something since I leave the home at 12:50. After all, the communte to my work is 22 mins away, so I leave early due to traffic. On my days off, specifically if it's a Sunday, is already taken from me because of church, and later on in the day, I've got to do date night with my wife. Not that having date night is bad or anything. Sometimes, I would like a full weekend to myself doing the things I wanna do. Just for once. I'm constantly on the go, and I can't seem to settle down and balance things. Whenever I do have free time, I'm overwhelmed with what to even do because I'm limited on my time. Do I play video games, watch a show that I've been watching, do I read, watch anime, go for a walk, etc. It. Sucks. Most of the time, I just resort to being on my phone, or not doing anything at all, because I just can't make up my mind up. Then later on I get [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed because I realized I just wasted my time that I really wanted and now that opportunity is gone. rinse and repeat pretty much every single week. Something needs to change, and I honestly hate how things are right now. I don't know what to do or how to go about doing things,
