Hi Everyone - I'm home after a wonderful 2 weeks in The US of A! I didn't have much time to spend on the internet but I did manage to check up on my emails from time to time and make sure my scheduled posts popped up - now to catch up on everything else - LOL. What makes it even harder is that by flying from LA to Melbourne I manage to lose all of my Saturday - 23 hours of travel plus crossing the international date line - my poor body clock is a little messed up!
But it was sooooo good to get home Sunday morning and see my kids again - this is the longest I've ever been away from them and many cuddles were shared as I tried to stay awake during the day - LOL. They seem to have grown up sooo much - they were looking after themsleves while I was away and my 12yo was telling me he was making himself some AWESOME lunches. My 18yo now knows how to use the washer and has tried some new meal ideas out which they both liked - think I may just have to let them KEEP some of their newly found skills - hahahahaha.
I don't have too many photos to share - I didn't take many! My time was spent craft shopping - gotta LOVE that - LOL, meeting some of my blogging friends (more on that later) and catching up with friends I haven't seen since we moved home to Australia after living in Virginia 18 years ago. During my shopping I found some fun new crafting tools which I am itching to play with - although with Halloween and Fall in full swing I was a little disappointed there wasn't a lot of Christmas stock out yet. I'll be back soon with some eye candy for you - but it's school holidays here now so I plan to catch up with my 2 kids a bit too... One day soon I'll get back on top of everything - but first there's that mound of washing awaiting me in the laundry - LOL.

hi Debbie, I hope you enjoyed the US and had a fun experience when Earl came up the east coast....kind of a fizzle but now you know what kind of hooplah we make out of an approaching hurricane LOL!!! It's good to have you back blogging. Hugs~Donna
Welcome Home.
I'm sure your kids are so glad you are home (but getting them do a little cooking and laundry every now and then while your home, is still good experience for them - its amazing what they can do when they have to). It was so strange seeing your posts but knowing you were far, far away. You must have been so busy getting them all ready before you went. We must catch up soon, but maybe when life settles back down to normal for you.
xox
How long were you gone before your kids became independent?
I think a trip to Australia sounds fun and coming back to kids doing laundry and cooking sounds even better :)
Welcome back! Enjoy your kids. Can't wait to see what you bought.
Hugs
