Count to Ten

Today my patience was tried to the breaking point and it had nothing to do with my kids.

It was project day at Mom's Group so we worked on whatever we needed to do. I brought my knitting so that I could get organized and plan a few things. All is good at this point.

I am in charge of a few things, including bringing the creamer for the coffee. I have always put it in my tote bags and have never had a problem. All is still good.

We had a great morning and all the kids dressed in their costumes and did a parade. The only problem here was that I forgot my camera. It was really fun.

Once we got home though, my blood pressure skyrocketed WAY up.

The creamer spilt all over my knitting bag. Almost the whole jar was left. It was on my pattern and instruction books. And 4 balls of yarn were soaked. It was about $30 in yarn.

I tried counting to 10 (did not work well) and figuring out a plan. I decided that I would tape the ends of the balls down the bset I could and put them in one of the tote bags in the washer.

After I got it started I called to vent to my friend Danelle. I told her about it and she suggested a nylon stocking. I agreed that would be a good idea and went to get one.



By the time I got there, this was twisted around the 2 bags that were in the washer too. Again, I tried counting to ten (it worked a little better this time). I now know what 1/2 of 4 different balls of yarn look like tangled together. I tried to untangle it and then decided it was not worth it.



So I put the rest in the nylon and finished washing. And in case you ever have this problem, it worked.



I have already found the humor in this and have trick or treating to look forward to later. Pics of the girls tomorrow.
