What Are We Doing At Naptime?!?

[coolconfidentme]

Just curious what everyone does when the kiddos take a nap? I chill with Pepsi Max & trail mix while roaming the net.

I find I need a good mix of R&R with work. So I'll eat, have a cup of tea and surf the web. Then I might fold that load of laundry, or prep PM snack. For me if I don't get a few things done during quiet time it will mean a hectic afternoon that cancels out any relaxation I got during QT

Kindle and a cup of tea. Unfortunately for my butt that tea usually includes some cookies.

Sweeping and mopping for the third time of the day.... Getting snack ready.... Checking emails.... Sometimes I do my online school work.... But usually if I have my 15 month old she's awake while the others are asleep.... So then I play with her while doing some of the above stuff

Depends on the day and my mood. I usually eat my lunch, have the tv on, surf online or read a book. If I feel like it I'll clean something or work outside in the front garden (naproom window is right there) but that's rare. I have the most energy for cleaning or yard work first thing in the morning (6-9am) or in the evening (6-10pm)

As soon as all the kiddos are laid down for rest time, my DH and I have a nice quiet lunch to ourselves.

After we eat and chat a bit, he heads back to work and I will usually catch up on any paperwork or browse the forum without interruption until naptime is over.

I always try to get something clean, I have a 7 month old, so if he is awake, I hang out with him in my room(I have a very open floor plan and my room is right next to the main nap area, and so I'll let him play while I fold laundry eat lunch and watch TV I'm currently addicted to 24 on netflix, when he goes back down for a nap, I force myself to go and clean the kitchen and I also clean the bathrooms during nap. If the baby is sleeping right away, I will try to get the kitchen cleaned right away, but usually sit down at my laptop and watch a show and eat something, I hope my will to clean takes over my will to watch TV, but ugh.........I usually actually hope the baby will be awake! my excuse to sit and watch TV.

We eat our lunch, talk and relax. Definitely play in the Internet a little.

I usually do all the cleaning while we are eating lunch, and try and have the dishes done before they lay down for nap. So I do any general straightening that needs to be done, and also gathering all belongings for the end of the day.

I clean up a bit, vacuum, mop, clean bathroom (the one daycare kids use), get things ready for snack, start cutting veggies and such for dinner so it's easier later, then I sit and watch a little tv like Judge Judy and relax with my hubby For some reason that's the quickest time of day.

Depends on the day. Since hubby's been home I sometimes nap when the kids do while he keep an eye/ear out for the DCKs. Sometimes he will nap while I hang out with DD.
Sometimes hubs and I will have a "date", we'll watch a movie and eat popcorn... sometimes make out, !
Sometimes I hang out online while munching on some snacks.
Sometimes I do laundry/cleaning that I am behind in.
Sometimes I work out.
Sometimes I lie down and watch tv.

No matter what I'm doing I am always grateful for the quiet!

Pay bills, clean the lunch mess in the kitchen, sweep and mop, surf the net, return emails and telephone calls, watch my 30 minute soap opera, fold laundry, open the mail, and/or call a friend. Sometimes all of the above!

[Oneluckymom]

Sometimes I will either, fold laundry (it never ends), watch Netflix on my laptop (I'm an addict...LOL) and eat my lunch, surf the net, get pm snack ready, etc.

It sounds like we all do the same things...::

[pandamom]

I do lesson plans, work on the environment, catch up on paperwork, clean toys, etc. But since I work at a center, we have to get all these things done during business hours

I start with a 30 minute workout and then spend the rest of the time snacking and browsing pinterest in our book nook Just because I can't nap doesn't mean I don't also deserve some down time!
