When I was working and my kids were little I would get up early and sew for 30 minutes - but I had a room that I could close the door and leave my project waiting. If the kids were awake my son would be in the same room and use his dump truck to haul the scraps to the garbage. It is difficult to get any "me" time when you have little ones. They do grow up fast so treasure the time you do have with them.
