This is the first time my husband is away from home for a few days ever since my baby was born. So, I am taking care of these three children on my own. Well, it's easier than I expected, and the days went well, though I still got angry a few times, not too bad. 
I just get busier as I need to cook, do the laundry, wash the dishes, do the housework and take care of the children all the time on my own. The two elder children can always play on their own and take care of themselves too. They slept early these two nights too, so I got to sleep more too. It's just that I spent lesser time online. 
Glad that my hubby is coming back soon, I am sure he will be really tired after a few day work and need to rest. I am happy that I manage to take care of the three children. It'd be even nicer if I don't get angry at all.

Maybe you could invite some family, like your brothers and sisters, to help you taking care of the kids, take them to play outside and leave you alone so you can sleep.
My brother sometimes brings his son to my house and my mom and dad and me take care of him. My brother goes to sleep and it works fine.
Sometimes I take my nephew to a playground, I put him on the swing and sing him a song. Do you have relatives who can help you with your kids ?

Nope, my relatives don't stay near me. But I am fine with it, as I mainly need to take care of my little baby, and the two elder ones can play on their own. They also take care of the little brother while I need to do some housework, especially cooking.
I also bring my children to the playground every evening, the elder ones play and the little baby sleeps.

@kaka135 All right, that's good, but, they still can have more of you, you can do some fun activities with them instead of mylotting. You can teach them good things to do, maybe read and write, maybe some mathematics, drawing, chess...
Being online doesn't sound like a good priority when having kids. Your kids are your best investment. They should be at the top priority.

Necessity they say is the mother of invention. When we have no other option we find ourselves tackling everything so well and this must have been the case with you too.

MInding three young children can be quite exhausting. I'm glad they were good for you.

I used to feel like that when mine we're younger. I had 3 at the time all under 5 and hubby was deployed to Iraq for a year it was very stressful at times. He's home now thank goodness expect that he still gone alot for work he's a truck driver but most of my now 4 are older two are teenagers now so they help quit a bit I know it seem like it now but it will get easier.
