How to find time for me...

I'm not sure what to write for this one.  How to find time for me?  I am at a point in my life where I am happy to be mom and wife.  I love to do a good job at both of these.  I find my joy and fulfillment in taking care of my husband and children.  Yet, to be even better at it, I know I need to find a little time for myself.  It will help me to be rested and refreshed.  So, how on earth do I find the time?

I will give you a few examples:

I take a shower....by myself
I put the kids to bed and lay across my own bed and breath deeply for five minutes....by myself
I go potty....by myself
I get up a little before everyone else and be.....by myself

It doesn't have to be some huge outing that is so hard to accomplish that I never get to be "by myself".  I just take little moments here and there and enjoy the silence and then they all run in and I enjoy the chatter.

This is good.  It works for me.
