Krumm 2011 Update: This Crazy Life

(sir chubby cheeks and princess I like to play in dirt with their trusty mangy dog wrigley)

So, as you can see, this really isn’t a Krumm 2011 update. August was a crazy insane wonderful month. There are a couple techniques that I want to try out that I need my sister’s wonderful Mac for, so for the time being there is no August update. Hopefully I will have it up by the end of this month though. I can’t get behind 🙂

Life has been crazy busy. Work nights when daddy’s gone has gotten significantly harder. I’m not really sure why. All I know is my little girl is very stubborn and it’s going to take a lot of work to get where we need to be (going to bed without screaming for an hour because mom won’t lay down with her). Going places with two, by myself, is just — hard. The Wal-Mart trip that I had to take because I had to have food for my family was a two hour endeavor (and when I got home I realized a handful of stuff that I had forgotten because it didn’t get put on the list). Laundry, which used to take me just a day to get caught up on, as recently taken me four. Sunday morning church is a no go when daddy works late the night before and can’t go with us. Getting two babies up and dressed and fed and ready to go out the door all by yourself is almost just silly (so I’m extremely grateful for Wednesday night youth group and a wonderful speaker. On that note — anyone know of any good online preachers/sermons other than Francis Chan that I can listen to throughout the week?)

The blog has been lacking greatly these past couple of weeks. With that said, there’s a lot of good stuff coming up on the blog this week — a yummy recipe that involves lots of chocolate, posts on upcoming school, a diaper post, and a post on why in the world I want to run. It’s going to be fun stuff.

Look forward to seeing you this week!! Have a fantastic Sunday!!

Oct 26: I’ll jump into edits to finish by Oct 31

Everyday I’ll post a reel or carousel with an  update, and if you’re joining me on this crazy project you can add your progress in the comments (whether word count or time spent or pages edited).
