THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!
Our Little Green Steam Machine has died!
.JPG)
Crusher threw-up all over his most adorable Pottery Barn Kids over commercialized, "If I don't have this rug I'll die" rug, and the Little Green Machine lost her steam. Fortunately, Crusher had only eaten 40,000 blueberries washed down with purple Dimetapp prior to launch, so as you can imagine, the rug is now in a better place.

This is such a vivid example of how bad things happen to good people. But not so fast. Maybe I'm not so good after all. Maybe my carpet cleaner died because of that time in the sixth grade I made fun of Sandi Rosenbooger. No, that wasn't her name. It was Sandi Rosenass. No, that's not nice. It was Rosenberg. Sandi bandi bo bandi, banana fana fo fanny, Sandi Rosenberg. That was it. The bitch.
If all of this wasn't bad enough, and I think we can all agree it was, this morning I pulled out of the driveway to discover this:

The rug had been laid to rest. Ethan took it out with the trash this morning and had discreetly tried to hide it beneath the cover, clearly to spare me the emotional trauma of having to say good-bye to my beloved. Thanks, Ethan. Thanks, rug. You will be missed forevermore. You have left a big gaping hole in my heart, and on my son's floor:

Sometimes life hands us lemons, and we make lemonade. Sometimes it hands up blueberries marinated in Dimetapp, and we make a plea on our blog for the names of new and improved portable carpet cleaners. Evolution, it's the darndest thing. First opposable thumbs, now this.

You have my deepest sympathies on the P.B. Rug. Mine was also felled by child vomit, but way back in 2003. I have no advice on cleaning, because I just do my part to keep PB in business buying new ones: 2004's rug was killed by cat hurling, 2005's by the move - it no longer matched, 2006's, by some miracle, we still have...
Reply to this
Let me introduce you to my close friend, eBay...
Surely some mom whose child is deathly allergic to any colored food has a PBK rug she no longer needs that is in pristine condition...

Karma's a bitch, isn't it? Not unlike Sandi Rosenberg. Now you'll just have to save up to get another Pottery Barn rug. By that time, you'll be shopping for Crusher's dorm room.

I have no clue for the best steam cleaner, but when you find out, let me know.
The cat puke....the dog puke.....

You never should have made fun of Sandi Rosenberg.
I participated in calling Andrew Maule "Mauleyburger" in public school, and now I have a prolapsed uterus. I'm sure the two are related.
Reply to this
I think I must have made fun or more than one Sandi Rosenberg in school because I actually bought a steam cleaner from Sam's
Club a few years ago to deal with cat and dog vomit, pee, you name it and the stupid thing leaks all over the place now. So if my kids through up blueberries and Dimetapp, I'm out the pottery barn rug and the money I spent on the steamer
Reply to this
Blueberries marinated in dimetapp...and stomach acid. The image I conjur of that pile of puke makes ME want to puke!

Oh, great taste u have!
I've seen that years ago and now I've found it at last!

We've got some Hoover brand steam cleaner - it works really well but is about 10 years old. It's a big one - nice a nice compact size like yours.

Well, can't offer you advice on a steam cleaner, but I can say that you inspired me to go buy a wee dust buster......maybe in another 4 years I'll have a really good steam cleaner and can offer you a wee loan of it.........
until then, you have my sympathies my friend. May the wee steamy thing AND the rug go onto the big and comfortable and not dirty in any way....'old appliances home' in the sky!

I hear Tar-zhay has some nice barfable rugs....

Dang! Too funny, first of all. And, I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only mom on earth to lose a great rug to barfsville! I just can't believe you had a cleaning system for this in the first place. I might have to get one of those things. DH was just saying he wanted one. No help here, but LOL!!
Reply to this
How completely disheveled your life must be right now..no rug...no carpet cleaner..how ever will you go on...Get wood floors like me...then you don't have to deal with either
Reply to this
I have NEVER made fun of any other child (Stevie "Eats his boogers" McClearnan) - so, yeah, karma. Hey, I'm a renter - that big red steamer at the grocery store gets hauled in our station wagon every six months for some back braking fun at our house! Wooo HOOO! We're wild and crazy cleaners.
Reply to this
One word:
Linoleum.
Preferably barf-coloured (you know, MULTI-COLOURED).
Ugly as sin, but it SAVES. MY. ASS.
Just until the kids grow up and (hopefully) leave home.
And then, I'm investing in the most beee-yoootiful silk rugs I can get my hands on.

Hm...Suppose u're right but ur points of view are so radical, don't u think so??

I am notorious for throwing out stuff the kids 'mess' up. I didn't realize cleaning was in my job description. Very important to read the fine print!
Reply to this
Ugh. I'm eager to hear the suggestions too. You have no idea what cat puke has done to my own treasured Pottery Barn dining room rug. It's not pretty.
Reply to this
You're better than me. I haven't steamed cleaned the boys rugs since we got them. Yes, a year ago. So gross. I'm a pig!
That sucks about the blueberries and medicine. You made me laugh when I saw the rug outside, even I felt bad for it. And you have made me want to go get a steam cleaner.

Oh, dear. I agree with Catwoman. Check out Ebay. Or, and this might also work, convince your hubby it's time for Crusher to upgrade to smart, sophisticated, toddler room. PBK of course.
RIP Steam Machine. RIP newly purple rug.
Reply to this
I was there to witness the unfortunate Blueberries and Dimetapp incident. After witnessing the attempted clean up, an immediate memo was sent out to all Pottery Barns nationwide, and then flags were flown at half mass for their fallen soldier. RIP cute rug!!
Reply to this
Courtney, thanks for sticking up for the most cute rug ever! (FYI Courtney is our babysitter who was here helping last week when both kids were sick. She witnessed "the launch" then ran for her life. Who could blame a girl?!)
Reply to this
We lost my favorite bathmat ("Peach" the starfish from the movie "Finding Nemo") to a similar child vomiting incident. Off to the great trashcan in the sky. Sigh. Although, being starfish-shaped, it never was a very good bathmat. You had to stand sort of pigeon-toed when you got out of the shower.
Reply to this
Blueberries and Dimetapp? Wow, that's vivid. Poor rug never stood a chance. RIP PBK rug. You served well.
Reply to this
My god, what were the chances of him yakking with that in his stomach? It couldn't have been a nice white meal, like mac and cheese with white cheddar, hmmmm....so sorry about the rug.

My suggestion is to get a dog. Our's always, always, very thoroughly cleans up my children's puke. It's lovely. Really it is.
Reply to this
Oh, I'm sorry to hear of the demise of your P.B. rug. You can always buy a new one, right?
Reply to this
I agree with Shannon. I'm guessing blueberries alone would have done the poor rug in. And Kristi B's comment will never leave my mind. Ever.

My mother has never forgiven the nurse who gave grape juice to my little sister following surgery at age 2. She promptly barfed it everywhere, included all of her bandages.
Reply to this
I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss or both the cleaner and the over priced rug. It makes one question our motives, buying a child who will vomit everywhere else but the commode expensive things for them to throw up on doesn't it?
I can only offer you my condolensces as my steam cleaner, although ancient, is still going strong. We are going through an illness currently though so if you find something good, I might need you to tell me about it. Good luck on your search!
Reply to this
I need one of those cleaners. Sucks about your rug. But you know, Pottery Barn Kids probably has more cute overpriced rugs.
Reply to this
Why don't the kids throw up on the cheap Target rugs?? WHY? My kids, my dog, the cat - all on something from Pottery Barn over here, too.
Reply to this
The upgrade for your cleaner is the Bissel Spot Bot. It's the lazy mom's carpet cleaner! Turn it on,set it, and let it go. No work on your part required! RIP PBK rug, how sad to see you go.
Reply to this
I just removed my son's rug a couple of weeks ago. Too many spills, was just starting to look nasty.
I've heard the SpotBot is good, but I've never tried it. I may need to get one too.
Reply to this
I'm really worried about that exposed white rug now. Better get something to cover it up. 10-9-8-7....

nfl jerseys have mentioned this before,but cheap nfl jerseys are going to say wholesale nfl jerseys again.Lately,everything Football Jerseys do turns into keyword research.NBA Jerseys love writing and MLB Jerseys have figured out a way to monetize nfl jerseys cheap - I've found something saints jerseys love and I'm getting paid for doing new orleans saints jerseys. If you're interested in another new orleans jerseys to create an income,check out my make drew brees jerseys HubPages and the of course join cheap saints jerseys.Anyway, back in January '08 when dallas cowboys jerseys joined HubPages I was out on maternity dallas cowboys jersey.Unfortunately,at that time,vikings jerseys were not eligible for the buffalo bills jerseys safety net of the miami dolphins jerseys by my employer or jets jersey by the state of New jets jerseys cheap.Now,in 2010,after pittsburgh steelers jerseys had that debilitating accident a few steeler jerseys years ago a new law has been passed and indianapolis colts jerseys many fall under it - the peyton manning jerseys.New Jersey is one of the first three new york giants jerseys to put this type of law into effect.

Now mbt shoes will state that these MBT shoes sale are not everyday walking skechers shoes.I would never reccommend going to work in discount mbt shoes within the first few months.The mbt shoes cheap is to start slow.5- 10 minutes a skechers shape up for the first three days,then increase at a comfortable Discount MBT.
They are designed to give your MBT Chapa the motion of walking on MBT Changa,a movement that requires the MBT Tataga of almost every muscle from your MBT Fora to your neck,forcing you to continually readjust your MBT Fanaka to gain its center of MBT Kaya.Take a look at people who walk at least 30 MBT Tunisha a day. Those who walk on the MBT Tembea become toned fasted than those who walk on flat,solid MBT VOI.

ugg boots can save huge amounts of money by buying your ugg on sale online.It is always cheaper to buy from the UGG Bailey Button,rather than to buy from well known shopping tall ugg boots.The reason for is that the well known shopping discount ugg boots have to pay extra bills that an online ugg boots uk would not have to pay.For example,cheap ugg boots,electricity,heating, rent bills etc.Some UGG Classic Tall Boots might think that perhaps the shopping UGG Classic Cardy Boots would surely buy in bigger ugg cardy so can therefore sell the classic cardy boots at a cheaper price - however this is not always the classic cardy grey.More and more ugg classic tall are using the classic tall chestnut on a daily basis to do their bailey button boots,and therefore the orders going through the ugg button bailey for items such as ugg button and fashion are shooting up every ugg classic short.The shops that have been dominant for so many womens ugg boots are now starting to realise that in order to keep up with the online companies.
