Uhhh When Is Me Time?????

So when is me time??? I know every mom can relate to that question. A time to enjoy a moment with another adult....someone who speaks your language. Don't get me wrong loving kids is what we do and when having one its a commitment...you don't get to throw your hands in the air and say 'ok that's enough ten years is enough, I've enjoyed the kid long enough'. Its until death....I know some say its till they turn 18 or until they move out but ties don't get cut. No matter if they are out of the nest you will receive those phone calls 'what should I do' and 'oh my gosh you wouldn't believe'. Problems with siblings still exist and guess who gets to still be the referee....yep. So yeah there is a need for me time sometimes....it can get overwhelming. So the key is and should be scheduling....your life as a family should already have scheduling especially to prepare that child for adulthood and to plan flat out keep sanity. There is nothing as unromantic as scheduling a night of passion....but you have to think of others in your life. I believe there is not a problem once in a while doing something something at the last minute but you have to remember their your kids and your responsibility. While you might find a babysitter that would like the extra cash...its rude and intrusive on their lives to say at the last minute can you be here in an hour please drop everything.
So the point while we might need me time from time to time don't expect it....other people have lives just as you do and while you might feel you have a sense of entitlement to the me time you really don't. When it comes to those points when you need a break read your fav book while your child watches their fav movie. It may not be going out but it is me time on a level. An remember they grow fast cherish the moments, and schedule a mini vacation once in a while. If you can't afford a mini vacation go to your local or not so local coffee house an order a tea and read a book...a tea is soooo much less then a coffee...well unless your just getting a regular coffee...lol. So you have your cheap and peaceful day spent reading.
Personally I am looking at getting 5 Shades of Gray...I know but I'm interested what the hype is. Well have a great day got to get back to cleaning....lol...woke up early for some reason and was in the cleaning mood....lol but kids are sleeping and so is dog...so perfect time to get it done. Try to wake up an hour of even a half an hour before your children to get some cleaning done....or if your a night owl take a half an hour to clean up.
