Last Week

This is Steven's LAST week of school! Sounds all good and easy right? WRONG! This last week has given both of us ulcers. Steven came home Monday afternoon to pick up some images he had forgotten. He ended up staying home to work on his presentation board... Tuesday morning rolled around, no sleep for Steven. Later on that day he starting shutting down and not able to work. I told him, "Get your things I am taking you to school." On such short notice my wonderful grandma Pat and mom was so willing to take Tanner and watch him while we began our crazy week of living at the school. We drove off to pick up Brandon,  his brother for an extra set of hands, then we made our way over to Pasadena.  As I drove Steven tried to snooze off for an hour nap, I was nervous because Steven's car model was in the trunk, the model Polaris is sponsoring ($4500). How terrible would that be if I got rear-ended? His whole carrier will be shattered, literally. We did get to school safely and unloaded the goods and got to work. The world seemed to stand still as a group of us lost all sense of time sanding our fingers to the bone. Then I got too tired, Steven and Brandon kept working along. I made my way over to my Aunt's (I consider Sue Woster my aunt) who lives so close to the school with a spear bedroom and crashed there for a few hours, SO NICE!! I was able to catch up on some sleep, came back to school ready to help. Brandon fell asleep on the couch at the school and guess what Steven was doing? Yep, still working... two nights without sleep. This is not the first time he has gone without that much sleep, but I am still amazed every time how he is able to pry those eyes open. Anyway, the sanding was done on his model and got it ready for primer. It just seemed like one thing after another that pushed the primer time back. Currently it's 7:00p.m. and we have sprayed and are now waiting for the primer to dry. There is not much to do right now but wait. Steven made his way to the community couch and he is finally sleeping! I am so happy!
I am not sure how long it is going to take for the primer to dry, but when it does then it's time to sand, again but, not sure how long that will take either. We could be here at school another night, gotta do what you gotta do. Let's see what the next 72 hours brings... bring it!
