I love/hate it when . . .

I love it when you clean your kitchen floor, on your hands and knees, and it looks great with no more water spots . . .

I hate it when your dog gets a drink of water and sloppily slurps the water and then water drips from his chin all the way across the floor . . .

I hate it when your kids walk in the water drops and leave wet footprints all across your clean kitchen floor then the water dries so you are left with water spots again . . .

I love it when the cat gets a drink of water and daintily sips from the water bowl and leaves no sign of ever being there . . .





I hate it when you look out your windows and start analyzing what the marks are on the dirty windows . . .

I love it when you wash your windows and realize it really isn't that hard and you shouldn't have been paying someone to do it . . .

I hate it when after you wash the windows your dog barks on the nice clean window and gets spit spray all over it which is exactly what was on it before . . .




I hate it when your basement floods . . .

I love it when it damages a small portion of the carpet under the stairs and so your homeowners insurance is going to pay for all the carpet in the common areas in the basement to be replaced . . .

I hate it when you decide to do the wise thing (NOT the fun thing) and patch the damaged carpet (no one will even notice because it is under the stairs) instead of replace all the carpet and lay the undamaged carpet upstairs (boy, I would love different carpet upstairs) . . .

I love it (sort of) when you do the wise thing and use the carpet money to pay for the water heaters and deductible on your homeowners insurance . . .





I love it when you buy a Wii . . .

I hate it when you decide to have it be a Christmas gift but you bought it in May and that's a LONG TIME TO WAIT . . .

I love it when you almost decide to make it a consolation prize for not getting the new carpet but you resist! (BTW, it's been 5 days since it arrived, only 206 days, give or take, to go!) . . .
