I watch tv, get online, sometimes start dinner. I try to have some kind of mental unplug time while there asleep. If my hubby is home I may drift off for a while (but never if Im home alone).

Can't do any real cleaning during nap time. It wakes up the kids every time. I crochet, watch re runs, on here, FB. I try not to do dc related items during nap time Bc then I feel like I don't get a break!

I do cleaning when they are first starting to fall asleep. Dishes, sweep, wipe things down etc.. that can be very boring or calming to listen to every day. I don't vacuum or do loud cleaning.

I don't start this when they are in the middle of sleep or towards the end of sleep it would wake them up.

Eat lunch with my DH lovethis

If the kids are still napping by the time he leaves...I do any paperwork I need to take care of and/or play on-line.

I have been reading a lot lately though as several of my favorite authors have released new books so I have quite a few waiting for attention...

agggh off topic.......what are you reading these days?

Today I randomly decided to French braid my hair for the first time during nap. Looks pretty darn good if I do say so

Usually I just hang out in the playroom and surf the net and come on here. If I do anything that creates even the softest noise then my 9 mo dcg wakes up and screams bloody murder.

Clean up from lunch and have mine if I didn't eat with them. Listen to a tv show while surfing here, fb, pinterest, news, etc. When show is over, pick up, move laundry that I start before arrivals, dishes, whatever. I always make sure to have at least 30 minutes of "nothing" tho, otherwise I may have a crabby afternoon

Stephen King's new books...

Joyland. Classic Stephen King...one he refuses to offer as an e-version so that readers can experience the thrill of an old paperback. lovethis

and his new one Dr Sleep....a sequel to the ever popular, The Shining

I LOVE Stephen King!

Other new favorites out:

Stuart Woods (detective/attorney type books)

I have some really good nappers - usually out for 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 hours so I try to maximize that time,baby! I clean up after their lunch (dishes, wipe off table, sweep kitchen floor), tidy up play area. I usually have a phone call or two to make & sometimes I vacuum the play area. Typically I have a load of clothes to fold, also. After the chores are mostly complete I usually will exercise (walking) while watching a DVRd show for about 45 min. If I have any time left over I will read a book or magazine or do dinner prep.

When I only had two kids I would nap.. LOL
Now I do my bible study, pray, read a chapter, and do paperwork!

[Cradle2crayons]

This is when I eat my bon bons and watch my soap operas of course! LOL, not really but do eat my lunch, get on the internet and do paperwork.

Don't forget prop your feet up while eating Bon bons and watching soaps !!
