Your last paragraph? That was the biggest adjustment-to-motherhood for me--the most difficult. When I read it, I felt like I was reading my own thoughts.
You adjust, and you get in a rhythm--that's "you" singularly, and "you" plural, as in "y'all", as in "your entire family." You get used to not being able to take that time when you need it, and learn to take it instead, when you get it. You learn to get by with less of it, and you find ways to sneak some in. Some ways work better than others. For quite some time, I took my me time late at night, but since the kids were still here in the morning, that ended up causing more problems than it solved.
