Stuck on Stucco

Guys, I finished the stucco for the year!

I will stand while you clap

*bowing*

*and more bowing*

I am so tired. I am physically and emotionally exhausted right now. It's photo season, scouts just started back up, Trevor just started a new job working a lot more hours- making him much less available to help, and I feel like the weight of everything is on me.

And trust me Mom, I am giving it all over to the Lord.

Now, because I know you are asking yourself "Self, I wonder how she put up stucco with those two little boys?", let me tell you how this goes down.

So I normally put up a camping chair for Carter to sit in, and we have an old fashioned crib/bassinet that I sit Will in next to him. This is out in the dirt of the backyard where I'm working. Will normally cries and tries to get out, and sometimes faceplants into the dirt, but I just put him back in. It takes about 5 hours for me to apply one batch of stucco by myself. This is with me regularly rewetting and mixing the stucco so it will not set up before I can get it on the house.

Yesterday Will went three hours past when he should have eaten because I was on such a tight schedule, I couldn't stop. I had stucco, scouts, and a photo shoot. I almost had a nervous breakdown. It was too much.

Anyway, there is some insight into my life for you.
