Loves:

Lazy Sundays...
Baby Jakob...
A clean kitchen...
My electric blanket...
The Kindle app on  my new phone!!!


Hates:

Workshops....ugh...
Learning how to use my new phone...
This big empty house.

Loves:

Spending time with my daughter-in-law and grandson...
Getting a new haircut!
Smiling again...
Laughing again...
Seeing new babies!!

Hates:

When my battery goes dead...
Having to buy a new battery...
This freezing cold wind...
This lonesome house...

loves:

road trips....just about time for one, I'd say...
sleep...
my squishy pillow...
when my kids are good...
fresh, hot brownies...
two special phone calls...
that I'll get my massage tomorrow...

hates:

that some of my kids are homeless...  :(
that my desk at school is cluttered right now...
that I will be gone on Monday...
that I have very little Christmas shopping done....bah humbug...

Loves:

That my dad had yet ANOTHER good day, AND he called me!!
I didn't cry today, and I was able to listen to the radio!!!
That I only have eight school days left before Christmas break!!!
That I now have no massages tomorrow, and can get home way earlier!!!
That my friend whisked me away today, to get away from it all!!!
That angels are watching over me...
My Christmas tree and it's twinkling lights...
God, in HIS infinite wisdom...thank you, Lord, for all you've done for me and mine...
Baby Jakob!
you.

Hates:

That I feel so stupid.
That I didn't do the right thing.
That I am SO gullible.
Paperwork...ugh...
Being oh, so, all alone in this world.
Full moons, changes in weather, and sugar!
That I can't just crawl into a hole and disappear forever.
That I can't just get in my truck and drive, with no particular destination in mind, for about a week...

Loves:

 That my dad had another good day, even better than yesterday!!!!
That I only have nine days left...then, Christmas break!
Getting a phone call....
My family and friends...


Hates:

Unhappy endings...

Loves:

That my dad is having a good day!!  Praise the Lord!!!
That I lost another pound!!  Yay!! 

Hates:

Feeling SO alone, still.
Learning how to use a new phone.....grrrr....
Losing precious pictures on my old cell phone...
Losing those last texts...  :(

Hates:

That I lost all of my texts and pictures on my phone!!!!!  Will never be able to replace them!  :(

Loves:
That I have two days off...

Hates:
That I broke my phone....grrrr....
Isolation...

Loves:

That tomorrow is Friday...

Hates:

The deafening silence...
Looking at my phone, and seeing no texts...
or phone calls...
Being alone...
No contact...
Broken promises...
This hole in my heart...

Loves:

A day without tears...
My kids...
My grandbaby...
My dad...

Hates:

The silence...
Losing...
