I think it's going to be OK. So I'm upgrading the face.
I've been told that as soon as I'm up to speed and able to be productive without needing quite as much help, I can move my work hours earlier. I asked if I could work 6:30-3:00, and they said there is no problem with that eventually.
The kids are doing well. We've found them a ride home from school most of the time, so they'll just have to be home by themselves for a bit over an hour each day.
I'm getting a handle on the new stuff and have even accomplished some productive things this week.
My family told me today that they knew I'd be too sad if I don't coach this year, so they told me they want me to. While I appreciate their gesture, I'm not sure yet if I will. I had talked to my AD to give him a heads up, and he said that they will do whatever they can to have me not take a year off, including moving practice times to later in the evening (probably 7:00) so that I don't get home from work, kiss the wife and kids, and run off to a 5:30 practice. They will also said they will pay an assistant (unheard of at the JV level) to make sure I'm covered if something comes up. That might entice me to do it.
So.....the avatar is being upgraded.
