      I start to get mine all down for their nap around 12 30 and by 1 30 or so all are down for naps. I usually prepare dinner which is also the kids lunch for the next day. While I do this I fold clothes, do laundry and watch something on TV. My home is all open concept and 4 rooms that the dcks sleep in are all visible to me.

      My dcks start leaving at 2 30 and are all gone by 4 00 pm so as soon as they wake from nap it is pickup time.

      Then my son comes in at 4 pm and I can spend the rest of the evening with him until we go to bed. I now start my day at 5 30 am so I am usually in bed by 7 00 - 7 30 pm right as soon as my ds is in bed.

        Clean up lunch.
        Fix and eat my lunch.
        Get on the computer or I read a book.
        I have to have my "me time" before the sa get here.

          I have non nappers so during "nap time" which we now call quiet time I keep the non nappers quiet and get a short break.

            I don't work! I find something to watch on my iPad......xfinity or Netflix.....then I put head phones on just 1 ear (so I can hear kids) and zone out! Oh, and I have a cup of coffee to keep awake.

            I hate when it time to wake kids!

              Right now I get on here but that is going to change as we can't do any personal media with the stars program during childcare hours.

              So it looks like tons of cleaning will be done, curriculum pre, paperwork, etc.
              Each day is a fresh start
              Never look back on regrets
              Live life to the fullest
              We only get one shot at this!!

                Yep, me too. Occasionally, if I'm feeling weird, I'll actually do some work.

                  At nap time I'm usually:

                  Cleaning up lunch
                  Eating my lunch
                  Playing online
                  Sometimes I join the kids in a "rest"
                  Doing financial stuff

                  all while trying to keep the dog from barking at the landscapers/mail man/neighbor or whoever else dares to come to the door or walk by her property!

                          I clean up from lunch.
                          Talk to my Husband (he calls everyday to see how my day is going).
                          I watch something on TV, usually with a cat or 4 on my lap.
                          I knit.

                          Just some down time....

                            Clean up from lunch
                            have a snack
                            watch Judge Judy (you guys got me hooked while waiting for the daycare case!) ::
                            watch anything from the DVR
                            Read a magazine
                            Fill out daily reports

                            I don't clean because that's all done during awake hours and the kiddos like to help too.

                              I clean, clean, clean. Usually I eat lunch, then fold that morning's laundry and then do that day's designated chore. Today was cleaning the carpets... woohooo. Once that's done I try to pay bills or meal plan but usually just end up looking at useless stuff.

                                Mostly paperwork and notes, also prepare snacks, and just try to sit and relax for a few.
