Flexibility

When you have family members who work on shift rotations you learn to be very flexible about the workings of your family life. Lucky for us, we have been doing it our whole marriage(almost 14 years!)so we understand how it works and are (usually) able to compensate for not having normal schedules. Today is the perfect example. We won't be able to sit down to dinner together since Cory checks on for duty at 4pm so we had a nice sit down lunch...err, that is we all sat down, but our lunch food was bacon, eggs and toast...I happen to have about 6 dz eggs in my fridge right now. My ladies have been laying fantastically and we just haven't been using very many eggs lately. And the sit down lunch was very welcome because I was playing slave driver with the children. My house isn't perfectly clean but it looks soooo much better, and hopefully by the end of the next month the kids will have a better handle on exactly what is expected when they clean their assigned area each day. Cory spent his morning hooking up the ac unit in our room. Since he is working nights and sleeping days he needs it to be cool in the bedroom, which isn't possible unless the door is open, and then its too light and a bit noisy. We are expected to hit 100+ later this week so the bedroom ac will be welcome! Heck, I may just camp out in there with him :)
