a wrench in our plans @#$%$#%^

Well the good news is that Rachael is in her last trimester of nursing school. The bad news is that Sam's step mom and his dad are now (suddenly) parenting 4 of their grandkids indefinately.....that means amoung other things that there will be no more child care for our tot and Sam will stay home with her.
The schedule goes like this:

Rachael gets up @ 5:00 and gets the older 2 girls ready and they all go to school @ 7:00
Anna stays home with Sam (he does not wake up 'till later (see below to know why)
Rachael and the older 2 return home @ 3:00 - Sam leaves @ 3:15 for work
Rachael feeds and bathes and gets the kids to bed 8:00 (usually)
Rachael studies and then goes to bed around 11:00 or 12:00
Sam gets home 12:00 to 2:00am (depending on how far away he is working)
REPEAT
If it is a weekend...Sam goes in 7-9 am and works 'till 9-10 pm

It has been this way for a few weeks now and ....well.....the more days we get through, the closer we are to the end of school " Come on December!!!"
I have my low opinions of this arrangement and no one likes it- but griping wont help
Prayer would be appreciated----always.
