I went from 2 kids during the day to 5 in a matter of a couple of weeks. One of those 5 kids is 4 years old. She doesn't nap, so my 2.5-3 hour break I got everyday is gone gone gone. This little girl is adorable but a typical 4 year old chatter box. I need a good half hour to recoup and wondering how everyone does it?
I'm considering mandatory quiet time for a 1/2 hour to an hour where she can either lay down and relax, watch a movie or read books. This way I can at least get a few minutes to my own thoughts! And I usually do a considerable amount of cleaning during nap too...
