Between your family life, social life and professional life, you've got your hands full. With so many people to take care of and things to do, it's easy to forget about the one person in desperate need of a break — you. Every mom deserves (and needs) some "me time," so take this quiz to see if you've reached that breaking point and learn how you can go about getting some time to yourself, even if just for an hour.

  1. Your morning routine usually consists of:
    • Waking up extra early to make a well-balanced breakfast, get the paper for your husband, call your mom to say good morning and make the kids' lunches.
    • Taking a quick shower, letting your hair air-dry as you make breakfast and get ready for the day.
    • Taking a hot shower to wake up, asking your spouse to start breakfast for the kids, blow-drying and curling your hair, changing outfits twice and giving everyone a kiss before they run out the door.
  1. Your kids want a dog. You:
    • Consider it, since you know your husband will be able to take on most of the work.
    • Consider getting one, with the understanding that you'll be the one to take care of it, no matter what crazy promises they make today.
    • Suggest a compromise, like a hamster or gerbil — something low maintenance but cuddly.
