"Quiet Time" lasts all day yesterday

Yesterday I told Kaleia to go up for her daily "quiet time". (Daily from 1-2 pm) I told her she could come down when she finished cleaning her room even if it was before the clock said two zero zero. She watches the clock for this magic number that says her quiet time is over. She informed she was not going to clean her room she was going to play. I said that was fine but she couldn't come down until she was done cleaning. Girl refused to clean all day and just played in her room. It felt like I just had 1 kid again. Finally at 6 she came down and told me she made her room a big mess and needed help. When I went up there it really was a big mess and we cleaned it up together. Today I did the same thing thinking she would be up there for awhile, however, she went up there and came down in 10 minutes annoucing her room was clean and she could come out...and it really was clean. I had 2 kids again today.
