It's something like 7 pm to 3 am I think. <br /><br />Days are nice because he gets home in the early-ish afternoon. Swings are nice because he gets to sleep at home at night. <br /><br />Graves are nice because he gets to be with us from 3 pm until 10 pm which is sorta nice. <br /><br />Hmmm. can't wait to hear what you thinkmrs. fuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534828778055456598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-31226729658380936352009-08-19T18:59:26.870-06:002009-08-19T18:59:26.870-06:00My husband is working days right now, by pure luck...My husband is working days right now, by pure luck of the draw. He would much rather be on midnights - but he doesn't have enough senority to hold that shift at our agency (too many guys want it!). Our agency has a swing shift, which we call second shift, from 2pm to 10pm, and two other special shifts, one from 10am to 6pm and one from 6pm to 2am. My husband has been considering going to either one of those next time around.....I would rather he work midnights (or of course days) than any of the others. <br />Good luck....and if it is horrible, at least you know another shift bid is coming your way soon!OrdinaryLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548882361803310700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-24335041915407474802009-08-19T18:09:06.867-06:002009-08-19T18:09:06.867-06:00Right now, CC is on the "swing" shift, a...Right now, CC is on the "swing" shift, and I just went back to work (I'm a teacher). And we never see each other! We only get to text during the day pretty much. So, good luck to you! But I think you're a SAHM so maybe it won't be so bad! :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150581792783183962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-5144311277838412372009-08-19T15:23:40.206-06:002009-08-19T15:23:40.206-06:00Actually, I found swings to be VERY good for young...Actually, I found swings to be VERY good for young families. Your husband is home during the day when the kids are awake, you can have quality time alone during nap time and all you have to do by yourself is dinner and bedtime. You can make ANYTHING work, I know, daughter of a cop and wife of a cop for nearly 15 years. It is our job to adjust and God has always helped me and sometimes I could swear those shift, the hard ones, were from God to make us depend and trust in him.<br /><br />My husband's midnights CURED me of my fears at night LOL.<br /><br />Let us know how it goes.<br /><br />StarlightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-25706343909896880372009-08-19T14:27:05.227-06:002009-08-19T14:27:05.227-06:00What's his off schedule like?

One of those days he's sleeping the shift off and the one right before the shift he's sleeping half the day to get ready for nights again, but those two days inbetween are definitely used to the fullest!<br /><br />He prefers nights the most, especially during the summer, because there's more to do and "excitement." He only did a swing shift for a bit, but it was so short that I couldn't tell you if it was worse or better. Keep us posted on how it goes for the fam!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254977947679163203noreply@blogger.com
