After going back and forth, weighing the pros and cons, Alex and I decided a few weeks ago that he would move back to 3rd shift.  

He says he did it so Alexander could play t-ball this summer but I know that he really did it to for my sanity and to make me stop bitching.

This past Sunday night, he made the switch and went in to work for 10pm until Monday morning at 6am.  The last 4 days have been AWESOME!  

On Monday morning, he got the kids off to school and then I got up and he went to bed from 8-2.  Monday was amazing!  

If you follow me on Facebook you saw this as my status update Monday night:

The rest of the week has gone pretty well too!  I’ve enjoyed my alone time in the mornings with Ellie & Joey and I absolutely LOVE having Alex home with us for dinner every night.  Although it sucks that he’s not here at night again, having Joey to snuggle with makes it a lot easier!

It is definitely nice to be getting our groove back as a family!
