I wish, he leaves by 4-415 am and comes in around ten at night. I sometimes get sundays but there's no set schedule to his unit. And with the new country, its not that easy to find a babysitter. I usually lay out his uniforms and breakfast. He takes his gear off, showers and goes to bed. Its been crazy for awhile. I'm hoping it will settle down after these exercises and I can run more, but at the earliest he gets home around 7 and I have to cook dinner, bath kids, put them to bed. I had to get in a fight with him to go running two weeks ago. I missed lunch on a Sat so I could run. Seems silly but I miss it and it makes me feel better.

Oooooh, that sucks. I didn't realize he was military. Hmmm, do you live on base? Is there a fellow military mom that you could hook up with a few times a week to run? Like, you watch her kids for an hour, the next day she watches yours? That kinda thing? They would be sympathetic to your needs I would think.
