Nap Time

My baby takes three to four pretty decent naps during the day. (Morning, early afternoon and evening.) He must be pretty tuckered out from doing all that growing. It takes major work to be in the 97th percentile! :) I have always been a multi-tasker, but after becoming a mom it has gone to new heights. Here is how I spend my "free time."

Nap #1: Return emails, do other internet junk like house hunting. Get dressed in workout clothes. (Hair and make up optional.) Transfer baby to stroller while sleeping. Go on 3-4 mile walk.

Nap #2: Make dinner, (put in fridge) do laundry, return phone calls, run a quick errand or two with baby in tow.

Now, by now you are probably thinking that I'm all high and mighty for bragging about how much I get done, etc. Don't worry. By the time nap #3 comes around I'm just about wiped out from the days activities. So what do I do?...

Nap #3: Eat junk and watch bad reality TV on DVR. This week it is raw cookie dough and Real Housewives of NYC. If I'm feeling especially industrious I try to do my nails and finish my book club book for the month. Either way. Nap#3 is definitely my "me time."

Now what do I do when he stops needed so many naps?! The reality TV will not be sacrificed.
