twitter moms: the influential moms network

When you're going insane from the everyday activities involved in being a mom, how do you escape?
If I can actually get away, I usually grab a coffee with my sisters or roam the aisles of Target or Marshall's without having to push a cart!
If I can't get away, I know Lovely Listing always makes me laugh or I tell everyone I have to go potty and just sit in there in silence by myself for one peaceful minute.
You?

My mother ALWAYS makes things better. But she is SO FAR away. I try to see my friend Jamie. She's SO funny and easy to talk to. And cool too. If she's out or busy, I make a cosmopolitan. I've got pretty good at it. If it's before noon, I twitter. BTW you can read Jamie's stuff at http://www.travelsavvymom.com/ or follow her on twitter http://twitter.com/TravelSavvyMom

I love playing in the blog world. Other things I really like is curling up on the couch with a great cup of coffee and watching a favorite show.

I like to go for a run if I can get away. It clears my head :)

Escape? What is that? The only way I've found lately to get some "me" time is to get up 30 minutes before I need to get the kids started and take a bath while everyone is still sleeping. It works about 3 days out of the week - but so worth it.

I like to escape by going to the bookstore. I get a cup of coffee and lose myself for a few hours.

If I am at home? My bathtub, a historical romance and a big glass of water...sometimes a cup of tea!

A couple of hours in the library is a wonderful escape. We live in the country and a long walk can be great too. In the winter, I love to wander the mall peoplewatching.

At home, it is in my bedroom with the door shut to read, or on the computer, with headphones on and loud music playing! Not working, but just doing whatever I want.

I walk out onto the back deck of the house and look out over the peaceful countryside with a one very large glass of wine in my hand.

I crawl into bed with a good book and just zone out :)

LOL! I remember when going to the bathroom by myself and in peace felt like a spa weekend!

Now that my kids are older, I get much more freedom and when I need to escape I usually head for the local bookstore with a cup of coffee. My iPod provides me with escape wherever I go. Anywhere with water is nice if I have the time to get there. The beach, a lake, a river...whatever.

My daughter is in high school so when I want to escape I send her to her bf's house and I can have my peace and quiet at home.

Jane Austen novels and film adaptations--so geeky, but I love them!
