As most of you know, Matt is now on 3rd shift. Last night was the first night. I don't like it. But he still has a job so for that I am grateful.He is also taking a motorcycle class this weekend. So this is what the schedule looks like for Matt this weekend:
Friday - Class 5 PM - 10 PM, worked 11 PM to 7 AM
Saturday - Class 8 AM (but was there as soon after work as he could get there) - 5 PM, come home eat a quick dinner, sleep for maybe 4.5 hours, work 11 PM - 7 AM
Sunday - Class 8 AM (also he will be there as soon after work as possible) - 5 PM, come home eat a quick dinner, sleep for maybe 4.5 hours, work 11 PM - 7 AM
Although he doesn't HAVE to work Sunday night. His nights off are now Sunday and Monday. But we need the money so as long as he feels up to it I am sure he will be working.
I am exhausted, my house is becoming a wreck, the kids and I are butting heads quite a bit, but Matt still has a job so I need to suck it up.
I have explained to The Gs, a few times, that Daddy will now be working while we are sleeping at night and he will need to nap during the day. So we will have to be very quiet and let him sleep. G1 told me "I don't need to sleep." I think maybe he figures if he doesn't sleep then Daddy won't have to go to work.
We've only had one night so far with him on 3rd. It went better than I expected. I didn't sleep the best. I woke up with a headache. But I think it might be okay as we get used to it. We will just need to figure out a new routine that will work for our family.
I hope it gets better for you and your family will quickly be able to get into a routine that will work for all of you. For some reason that picture of you two touching tongues kind of grosses me out.
ReplyDeleteI am all with you Mom, I almost closed the window when that picture popped up. Hopefully you get a rotine soon, good luck.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like having the bed to myself . . .
