Gotta love the swing shift

Ok for some reason, the military in it's inifinite wisdom, has too many people in Justin's class and now they have nowhere that will fit the entire class. Let me rephrase that. They don't have anywhere that is AVAILABLE to fit his class. So, they are on the swing shift...for learning. He leaves here around 2 pm to go to the base to do his Physical Training (PT) and his 2 hours of mandatory study hall (actually only 1 hour 15 minsutes before class...he does the other 45 minutes at lunch time). He gets an hour (sometimes two) for his "lunch" break around 6 pm. Then he stays in class until sometime between 12 am and 1 am. I don't know about you, but I know my brain is not at it's sharpest in the middle of the night. And then he comes home and still can't get to sleep until 2 am. So when the kids are up and running around at 8 am, I have the job of dragging myself out of bed and trying to feed, dress and entertain them in our tiny 2 bedroom apartment while keeping them quiet enough not to wake Justin. Have you ever tried changing an 8 month old and tried to keep him quiet? Not an easy job...I promise.
