Mixed Emotions

I'm conflicted.

How can one feel sad and happy both about the same event?

You see, Thing 2's rabbit, Snowball, finally got to the geriatric point of her life that we had to intervene. (Remember Thing 1's rabbit?) It hurts to see a child have to deal with the decision to put an animal down and then go through with the process. She was very mature about it and she knows that the rabbit is better off, but it still hurts a bit.

On the flip side, I'm glad to be rid of the overgrown rodent. Now I'll have a place to park an ATV this winter. So you see, I have to walk carefully when displaying any type of jubilation I might feel.

I'm conflcted.
