Endless Cycle - Busy, Busy and More Busy

Things have been pretty crazy around here! The summer stayed busy, busy, busy. Everyone had a good summer. Ashley seems to be learning things nonstop. Be that good or bad, I'm not sure. She is showing a lot more independence. She is attempting to cook and has learned to unlock all sorts of things in our house. We have had many moments of, "Yay, she's learning! Oh no, we need to catch up." Nothing quite like seeing Ashley locking the fridge back, when the whole reason it was locked was to keep her out in the first place. I thought school getting started back would put us on a more structured schedule, but somehow things seem more stressful. School has not began well. I have had lots of meetings, and am already concerned where the school year is heading for Josh and Ashley. Ugh, these battles seem never-ending! Josh also has his last ear procedure scheduled this Friday. So it seems there are a lot of different things competing for the top of the priority list. And there are so many things I would like to get done. Maybe someday, I'm certain things will calm down soon. They have to, right?
