Yay for/Boo for

Yay for Craigslist and the very, very nice man and his wife who just purchased our ginormous kitchen island. Yay for all of the honest, trustworthy people left in this world.

Boo for unexpected bumps in the road, like drawers that stop sliding, hours before the island they are attached to is supposed to be sold.

Yay for people who don't care about drawers that don't slide.

Boo for clogged toilets, slow tub drains, and unexpected bumps in the road like incorrectly flushed gLiners and ignorant mothers who don't read instructions fully. Boo for hours and hours of plunging and flooding. Boo for splashes of toilet water on the bathroom wall.

Yay for husbands who know how to use things like plumbing snakes and toilet augers.

Yay for husbands who still love their wives even when they're surly.

Yay for extraordinarily clean bathroom toilets, walls, floors, tubs, sinks, stepstools, and doors.

Boo for stress that prevents sleep. Boo for nights short on sleep.

Yay for grandmothers who love their grandsons and enjoy spending a few hours with them for no special reason at all.

Boo for pie plates, cake pans, vegetable steamers, slicers, graters, vases, serving plates, cookie cutters, place mats, tablecloths, and telephone books having to find a new home.

Yay for overhauling the overhauled dining room and turning it into a living room suitable for small boys to play within earshot of, well, everywhere.

Yay for an eat-in kitchen that accommodates all four members of our family instead of just three.

Boo for wasting free time blogging! Or maybe yay. I'm not sure.
