me time is nap time, that`s all I can say. As soon as naps could be scheduled, I planned every minute of that time. I also combine things like working out and reading my devotional, playing on the computer while going through the mail, etc. Also, when I cook, daddy watches baby and I can hang out in the kitchen.

You know when I get `me` time is when I cook dinner! No one is allowed in the kitchen period!! Also I don`t ask my husband to watch the children, I disappear into our bedroom to get a nap if I feel too overwhelmed!! Other than that, it is hard with 4 little ones to get `me` time.....so I have to take it as it comes.

Thanks for all the advice so far ladies, i have gotten some good ideas so far!! Just to have some me time once in awhile is what i need to recharge. I love my family, but i know i need to make time for myself once in awhile.. thank you all so much!!

Ah, well this is not a permanant solution, I have not found one of those, but when I have had it up to here (points at neck) I ask my husband to watch our daughter for 2-3 hours on a Saturday. I walk out of the house, either get my hair cut or just head to the book store, grab a book and head for a coffee shop. I sit down, read, and just forget about the kitchen needing mopped, the sheets needing washed, and everything else! I know it is only somethign I do maybe once a month but it brings the stress level down for me.

I understand that your two year old wants mommy, but try letting him fuss sometimes and allow your husband to carry through some tasks. If your husband is helpful/on board, you need to tell him and your older kids how important it is for you to have 30-60 minutes alone every evening. Make taking a bath a regular part of your evening routine and set a timer before you go in. When the timer is on, nobody is allowed to knock on the door (husband included) unless it is an emergency worthy of calling 911. Explain to your kids that you will be much more patient and happy with them if they follow these rules. Hope it works. Good luck!

My 2 year old rarely will let his dad do anything, plus i have two older kids that need help with homework and then with the everyday task of running a household, i have no time for me. I try to take a bath, and someone is always knocking on the door. I dont know what to do anymore, but i know that i have neglacted myself for too long... help me find my sanity please.... thank you so much...
