Thirteen Things that were waiting for me when I got home at midnight last night (with all four kids in tow!)

1. The time change (ugh!) Our bodies thought it was three a.m., but that didn't stop #3 and #4 from getting up at 5 a.m. (after all, it was 8 a.m., right, Mom?).
2. Some new CD's that dh ordered before we left town--can't wait to update my "baby" (who now sports a very cute new case!).3. A lovely thank you note from my nephew for his graduation gift.4.Another lovely thank you note from my sister-in-law on behalf of her older sons' mission team.5. A postcard from my husband from the UK telling me that he'd see me very soon (tonight, hooray!).6. Bills!7. Roses from my husband wishing me a belated anniversary--we celebrated 14 years on Tuesday, despite being on different continents. (They're beautiful!).8. A birth announcement for my cousin's new twins!9. Birthday cards (for dh and dd#2).10. Two cartons of spoiled milk and some mystery dead take-out in the fridge.11. My attention-starved cat.12. A front yard in an atrocious state of returning to native foliage! (It was our top priority this morning after unpacking bags and going out to breakfast).13. Thanks to our sweet house-sitter--clean, fresh sheets on my own bed.
