You know your a mum when "me time" involves sitting down with a hot cup of coffee and actually getting to finish it while it's still hot!
This has yet to happen in our house, and the dream of a relaxing bubble bath just seems too far out of reach...
This is usually how mine goes..
Step one: wait an extra hour before having a bath to ensure everyone really is asleep
Step Two: Creep up stairs avoiding creaky stairs/floorboards
Accidentally step on creaky floorboards,pause and don't breathe for a few seconds for sounds of stirring children.
Step Three: Run bath, throw in any old bath stuff and jump in... Ahh Relax!
Step Four: Listen for sounds of stirring children.
Step Five: Realise your bath is cutting into your precious sleep time, jump out, get dry and jump into bed.
Then just as you relax and close your eyes, you hear the faint sounds of a cry starting in the next room...
I hope your "me time" is more successful than mine!
