And now the time of the year...

...where the planning of one event barely concludes before it's time to plan the next. And to kick it off, James left town for a week and the kids got sick (and got Grandma and Grandma Davies and later Mom and Dad sick) with the stomach flu and we had a very yucky Halloween.

On the docket for this week: a Christmas party planning meeting, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, a church gratitude dinner, a Boy Scout campout, and maybe, just maybe (cross your fingers that everyone is well by Friday so my kids can stay with their Grandma) a retreat with the extended Bradley gaggle of girls. And trying to get caught up on all the laundry, housework, and giant remodeling to do list that built up while we were all lying around the last five days.

On the plus side, I'm all caught up on my reading and TV watching. And Clorox wiping.
