Everyone always asks me this.
It's funny, I don't know where the time goes. I'm always so busy between feeding, changing, playing, soothing my baby.
When he's napping I try to get some "me" time in and do stuff I enjoy. Play online, watch TV, rest, ...
What do you do?

I unfortunately had to go back to work for financial reasons, but when I was home I followed a basic routine so that I could get most of what I wanted done and have a little time to myself while my daughter napped

If the kids actually take a nap then i go do the dishes, laundry, dusting... then i get to sit down at the computer for 30 minutes or so and by then they are back awake and ready to go!!!

What don't I do. I get the older 2 up & ready for school. I then walk them to school. In the meantime I also have to feed & change the baby. When we come home it is nap time for her. I try to do dishes, clothes or some type of cleaning. In 2 hours I have to go pick up one daughter at school. Come home & feed her, get her to do her homework. Take care of the baby more (she is only a month). Then in 2 hours I have to go pick my oldest. Then I need to make sure she does her home work. Once my husband is home with the kids I may have errands I have to go run. I don't drive so I either walk or usually my father-in-law will take me. Then it is time to start dinner.

Laundry, change diaper, feed the kids, get them dressed, change a diaper. Dishes, shower and dress *sometime during the day before my husband gets home*, laundry, change a diaper, dishes, vacuum, feed the kids, my youngest takes a nap and *occasionally* my oldest. Read books to the kids, take care of the pets, etc. It seems like I never get to stop! The days I have time to me are the 3 days I work outside of the house. But yet, I take them with me to work too! On the days I am at home I still have to fit in bookwork for the business we own! Thank goodness I have a great husband who helps as soon as he gets home from work.

So many people ask me that too. People can't believe that I enjoy staying at home with my little girl. Someone asked me to tell them exactly what I did during the day from the time I woke up till bedtime. It's a busy day. Like you said, I'm feeding, changing, playing, feeding again :) All house cleaning, laundry, cooking, grocery shopping etc. etc. When my little one goes down for a nap, I will finish up my cleaning and then I will sit down and rest-- by either getting on the computer and checking my email and doing mylot or ebay..just something for me to rewind down from the long morning! I do get a kick out of people though that just think I sit at home all day doing nothing. If they only knew or gave it a chance, I think they would have a lot more respect for Stay @ home Mothers :)
