I love being a mom. It’s the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. BUT, after a long day of listening to screaming kids, having snotty noses wiped on my shirt and hearing the word “why?” for the hundredth time, I NEED to recharge my batteries. I need some Mommy Me Time.
As I was brainstorming for this article a saw a tweet pass by in my stream. I quickly went back to re-read it. (I messaged Tara for her permission to use the tweet, and she was thrilled to have me include it.)
Every mom needs some time to rejuvenate.

Great list!! I particularly like getting a pedicure, going to the library/bookstore, the gym or yoga, as those are the ones I do every so often. But my hubby and I seriously need to go on a date ASAP!!
