I hear ya. Its been a very long times since I have been able to shower by my self, or even take a nice hot relaxing bath, for one my tub is too small for that kind of thing. I never get to go out, the last time I was somewhat pampered was when I got my hair cut and colored back in December and that was only b/c I threatened to shave my head b/c my hair was driving me nuts... lol. Even then I was called every 10 min... r u done yet?   I feel your pain.

We all need that me time. I set the kids down 2 hours early.... they were never napers so I had to do that. I have that me time now(extra) me time cuz I make sure I take a nap now that they are older and can manage theirselves. But to the 2 hour down time... before bed I have quiet time. they have 1 hour and a half to get ready for bed...that is a half an hour for each kid to shower, brus teeth and make sure that they are good for bed... ooo! BACK 1 MIN, After dinner they have to make sure that all is neat... of fast forward.. so they have to be in the bed by 8or what I call relaxing mode... so they may not have to be in bed... just quiet.. they can talk and laugh but no running around, screamming, jumping...

then there is the lights out mode... and that is 1/2 before I want them sleep or acting like they are sleep...lol,.lol,lol

ooo and this quiet mode is my me time...relaxing, bath time, special tea, coffee so on... sometimes I sneek off in the day... but your kids have to be older to do that... they know where i am going but i may make a special stop for myself.... to do something I want to do...
