Love / Hate

I've found myself struggling with a couple of love/hate relationships today.

I love my lunch hour.

I hate spending my lunch hour running errands -- dropping off shoes for repair, going to the bank, paying a bill, picking up a book I requested, picking up a prescription.

I hate eating in a hurry at my desk with 5 minutes left in my lunch hour.

I love hearing my child play her instrument.

I hate sitting through a junior high band & choir concert for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

I love going to get ice cream after the concert.

I hate getting home late and feeling like I've lost my entire evening.

I hate helping with homework at 9pm.

I love the feeling of knowing it's ok to get in bed with my book because it's too late to start anything.

Good night.

Boy, how I miss those Middle School band concerts... they were always so riveting... and you just can't beat the comfort of those bleachers!

i've had to sit through some of those concerts. i love the concentration of the faces of the young ones. at our school - band starts at third grade. It is amazing to hear the improvement from the fall concert to the spring concert.

This is my favorite post in a while! I feel the same way. However we'll just be getting into the band concerts next year...
