This has been posted on my Facebook page for about 2 years now and I am ready for a change, but I wanted it documented somewhere — so here it is -

Things I like: Chad and Charlie, shopping with my mom, finding bargains, when the clock says 11:11, having dinner as a family, wasting time, Explorers, MOPS, my sewing girls, skipping to the end of a book, children’s books, daydreaming, artwork with Charlie, singing along with the radio/cd, reminiscing, sunshine, smocked children’s clothing, conservative politics, putting my makeup on in the car, seeing God’s hand in my life, long bubble baths

Things I don’t like: hearing my voice on home movies, Gracie taking up too much room in our bed, to repeat myself, being read aloud to, cleaning out my car, people with road rage, stereotypes, loud children’s toys, bad language, poetry and symbolism, giving up Coca Cola for the New Year, exercising, trick questions, cloudy days, “crunchy” clothes on babies, boiled eggs

Things I would add to these lists:

Like:  Being a mother, having both a boy and a girl, having no indoor pets, a clean and neat house, my new friends, my walking buddy, working with children, Mexican food, COKE, coordinating my children’s clothes, planning  a trip to Disney (totally a fantasy, but still. . . )

Dislike:  Working to get my pre – baby figure back, sick babies, hurting friends, getting up and at ‘em in the morning, trying new foods, cutting coupons, buffets, food from people I don’t know what their kitchen looks like, mean people, music (according to Chad), Biology, Multiple sounds at the same time, morning sickness, cleaning food out the fridge, wet washcloths – ugh!, lettting water out of the tub if it has been sitting and has gotten cool
