What Do You Do During Nap Time?

[mema]

Clean up lunch, do a quick pick up, watch a bit of tv and surf the web.

I usually do the dishes from the day, tidy up my home, empty the dishwasher, prep my family dinner, lay out everyone's clothes for the next day, iron any of my husband's clothes that he needs for the next day, eat lunch, check email, sito n the couch with my own DS and read while he naps with his eyes open watching t.v. Then I get my kindergartner off the bus and get everyone ready to go home.

right away I sit on the couch in the same room as my nappers, and have lunch, sit with the baby on my lap, and turn on a couple shows on my laptop, I don't even use earphones, and the noise of a quiet show has never bothered anyone, find a good enough series on netflix, and you can find yourself quite occupied! amd when my 4 month old is awake, I find it as an excuse to just sit and cuddle with him on my lap to keep him quiet and watch some shows, if I set him down to clean in a bouncer he will just cry, so dang.....guess I have to sit and relax!

I eat my lunch, clean up,surf web, start prepping dinner for my family! It never fails, I always have a kid that wakes up before nap time is over though

I give myself a 20-30 minute "lunch break" (though I've already eaten w/the kids), during which I usually veg out with blog-reading, chocolate, and coffee.

Then it's into working overdrive. I upload the day's photos to the computer and review photos and notes from the day. I email the parents about our day. I write a blog post documenting more fully one aspect of the kids' learning and link to it in the day's email. Any time left over is used for record keeping, the kids' portfolios, and other paperwork (right now, kindergarten applications). And if the afternoon's project work requires set-up, I'll try to get to that (today, I have 2 girls planning to sew after nap, so I'll thread needles in preparation).

Seriously?! We all eat lunch during naptime? I thought I was the only one... this seriously made my day (PS its naptime)

I really try and take a break while there asleep. I do a quicky clena up from lunch then go into my bedroom and turn on the tv. Sometimes fold clothes, organize my coupons, flip through cookbooks, poke around on the net. Nothing to excting. If my husband is home I lay down and snooze for a while. (I have 2 kids that get here at 515am) .
