Warning: if you’re going to check your email, which you know means you’re going to sit in front of the computer for at least an hour returning emails and reading/writing blogs, DO NOT put a pot of water on the stove, deposit your good snotsucker, your backup snotsucker, and three pacifiers in the water, turn it on high, then go and sit down at your computer. For an hour. Then take a long, lesiurely shower. Then answer the phone, and run around in your panties with a towel on your head acting surprised and shocked when you discover that your house is filled with smoke.
The good news is there’s no fire, and both Kyle and I are safe. The bad news is that I’ve ruined my Anolon large saucepan, the one that the steamer basket fits into. It is now lined with a 2-inch layer of melted rubber and plastic. And I’ve lost both of my snotsuckers and 3 pacifiers. The last items I am not worried about, because I am trying to wean Kyle off the pacifier anyway, so that takes care of that. But how will I replace my hospital snotsucker? You know, the one that everyone reminds you to take home from the hospital because you can’t buy a good one in a store? What will I do?
You do NOT want to learn the snot-suckerless method of sucking snot. Think mouth-to-mouth respiration in reverse – on the nose. MDW only had to do that once – and she really had to do it or she wouldn’t have.
Eww.
Robert has tried the above method.
I did the same thing and also ruined a good pot. The house was filled with thick, plastic smelling smoke.
I guess you’ll have to have another baby so you can steal more snotsuckers from the hospital. Otherwise, they sell them at Babies R us.
I was going to say what Kim said. New baby for free good snot sucker or a not so good one from Babies R us!
So sad, I did the same thing in high school when I had to boil my contacts to disinfect them. Back before contacts were disposable. Thank goodness for advances in eye wear.
As for the snot sucker problem… You my friend are lucky because Kyle’s godmother has easy accesss to hospital issue snot suckers. I will bring you one maybe two to euchre night. There now you can’t blow off euchre night.
Love ya, Lisa
