My New Normal

I know, I've been stinking it up at keeping this updated. My life is moving rapidly, yet slightly boring/monotonous at the moment. I don't take many pictures because what I look at most are books, flashcards, and my teachers.

Here's a look at my day:

6.30-wake up (usually to a whining 1yo), get ready, feed Malachi breakfast
7.40-ride my bike (always an adventure) 7 mins to school **Not looking forward to the day I have to stop riding because the roads are covered in ice. It will then take me 30mins. to walk!**
7.55-warm up my chai tea. Yes, I still have it every day. I now make it instead of buy it. :)
8.00-start class (different class every day...some about Chinese, some about our mental/sp. health!)
9.50-break/scarf a snack
10.10-Chinese class with our Chinese teacher. She's a-mazing!!!
11.40-eat lunch/take a break from thinking in Chinese (or try to)
1.00-tutor time
3.00-rush home so Michael can go to school to tutor by 3.30
3.30-Malachi awake (so much for some down time!)
4.30-Josiah awake
5.00-start dinner
6.00-eat dinner
6.45-watch the Nightly News (via podcast)
7.00-Malachi to bed
8.30-Josiah to bed
8.45-crash/attempt to study/QT/watch TV (sometimes in Chinese, sometimes in English)
10.00(if not before)-fall asleep in 1.2 seconds

There ya have it. That's my day, 5 days a week. Saturday is full, too, with small group that takes 1/2 the day, going out with my "language partner" to practice Chinese in real-life, and grocery shopping. Sundays, we try to reserve for ourselves and the Father. It doesn't always happen, but we try.

I'll update when I have something interesting outside of this schedule. :)
