Insert the skein of yarn inside the bottle and run the yarn through the top opening. Slip the ring back on the bottom end of the bottle. If the ring is too loose, tape it to the clear part of the bottle.

Hello, Everyone...

 

Sorry my recent entries have not been more personal. As usual for this time of year, I am drowning in paperwork at work.  Frustrating...

 

The dance instructor never showed up at my school, so I am taking ballroom dance lessons on Thursdays. I was late for my second lesson this past week, because I had to take a picture of the kids that were in the skit so I could enter it with a story for the program newsletter. I had lots of problems getting the picture to the person who is doing the newsletter, because our emails reject each other's schools. Frustrating!

 

The picture came out awesome with a fishbowl effect. Sorry I cannot post, but confidentiality, ya know...

 

When I got to the school where they were giving the dance lessons, the building was closed. One of the kids outside said they had cancelled the lesson because of the weather. I hope I didnt miss the second lesson, because I promised the kids that we would be dancing this semester.  Frustrating...

 

The worst thing that happened this week was that one of the 6th grade boys urinated on the coke machine and in the drinking fountain. I think he was angry because the principal does not allow the kids to have sugary sodas or snacks. This is not the first time that he gets into trouble. I wonder if they will suspend him or expel him.  Frustrating.

 

My boss sent some girl over to my campus to learn from me. I was very upset because I am trying to get caught up in my paperwork, and he didnt bother to warn me.  On Monday she will be at a different campus but it sounds as if my boss wants her to come over to my campus. Frustrating.

 

Needless to say, I am very overwhelmed by all this, not to add that my electric bill is up for disconnect because I forgot to make the payment (wasnt it just recently that I paid it?!) AND I have to clean the apartment for the Pest control guy who is a pest himself.  Frustrating!!!!!!!!

 

So before you lay your head on your pillow tonight, say a little prayer for me. I could really use it.
