We still haven't quite figured out how we plan on picking up Trevor. Currently, Janelle is driving to the school to get him, but we might have him ride the bus home, except on most Wednesdays when he might be walking to church (or waiting at the school for me to pick him up to drive him the two blocks) for choir practice. Janelle has, however, figured out the little boys' schedule (at least until tomorrow's early release).
As far as my job goes, I can't believe that we are at the halfway point of my first quarter (which I suppose makes it the first eighth). I've begun to establish my rhythm in my classes, although I still have a couple of things that I need to figure out. For the time being, I am finally caught up on all of my hiring paperwork and in-services. Now I just need to get ahead on my planning and grading.
We've established a little bit more normal of a daily pattern at home in regards to eating meals, watching shows, and working on the computer. Once I get more used to the daily abuse I'm taking through my afternoon cross-fit, I'd like to do a bit more in the evenings, but as is I've been spending the past two days doing a lot of sitting around and moaning.
All said, things are good. Still, I feel like we're just circling right now, waiting for clearance to land. I've been breathing easier since Janelle and the boys arrived, but I still feel a bit ... restless, like I'm waiting for the final piece to fit into place.
In the end, I'm trusting in God's plan for us, as He hasn't let us down so far. I'm also looking at it in the light that my father suggested, that this is an adventure on which we will look back fondly ... once it's over.
