Right! You say, there is no such thing as “me” time and I have to agree, but we must remind ourselves that it is important to carve out that time for ourselves or we will go batty! We don’t want to end up a Mommy Dearest with our eyes twitching and our over red colored lips a quivering….so breathe, relax and grab a few minutes just for you.

GET AN IPHONE, IPAD, E-READER, NOOK OR ANY OTHER DO ANYTHING GADGETY THING
The great thing about technology these days is that it continually advances to bring us better and better stuff. Well, if you are a mom on the go with very little time to sit down and take a moment to yourself, you may want to consider getting a epad, iphone kind of gadget that loads movies, books and a quick browse of the internet. What better thing to do while waiting at doctor’s offices, outside of schools, at dance class or the park, when your kids are busy, you can take a quick read of one of your favorite books or a snippet of a movie that you have downloaded. Better yet, steal yourself away from the house and the kids with your little gadget and take a few minutes to just unwind. Most of these electronics come with application stores where you can buy just about anything you would like to help entertain you and make your time to yourself more enjoyable.
EXCERCIZE
Do you already own a Wii? Well when the kiddos go to sleep you can use it to play games, of course or to get a little exercise with games such as Wiifit 
or try the PX90 and other workouts available on DVD at the Extreme Body Workout website.
SOCIAL NETWORKING
Places like Facebook, Myspace and Cafe Mom are good places to browse for friends, post status updates, message each other, upload pictures and video and get a little adult social interaction that being at home all day with a child often doesn’t afford.
It is recommended that moms take at least 45 minutes to an hour (at the minimum) each day of quiet private time to rejuvenate and reload. You are not being the world’s best parent if you are running yourself into the ground, most likely you’ll be more tired and cranky if you don’t take a minute and find some “me” time, to reconnect with the world’s most important person, you!
