The Atlanta Board of Education burned my hand. For reals.

We’re at the tail end of a 4-day weekend. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s to celebrate Columbus’s conquering of the New World with his germ warfare and fancy metal guns. Whatever. But my kids have been under my feet since Friday and it’s been raining and that means anarchy and Wii for an ungodly number of hours and forts constructed of blankets and pillows and stocked with bowls of marshmallows. I didn’t even know we had marshmallows.

So last night I was cooking dinner and because of the chaos and the forts and the methamphetamines marshmallows consumed in great number by my children I lost my head for a second and grabbed the metal handle of the saute pan that I had just removed from the 375 degree oven.

Ouch.

Except it was more like AAARRRGGGGOOOUUUCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!

I had to keep it in cool water for two hours or the pain got too intense and I would start tearing up. How do people with real burns survive it?

I drugged myself with Tylenol PM and promptly took to the bed which was seen as an elaborate ruse to get out of washing the dinner dishes. Blasphemy, lies, and innuendo around here all the time.

As soon as the sleep inducing effects of the drugs started to kick in I was made aware of a rousing game of Go Fish being played on my bedroom floor. I kindly asked Scott and the girls if they could take the game elsewhere so that I could sleep. Apparently that came out as, “OH MY GOD! FUCK! GET OUT! SHUT UP!”

I may or may not have said that, Scott has such a vivid imagination.

So all I’m saying is that The Atlanta Board of Education decided to have a 4 day weekend which forced me into house arrest with my kids which distracted me and in turn made me burn my hand. So I think I deserve a homework pass for at least a month. Or my own parking space at the school. That’s all I’m saying.

    I think you should sue the school district for sure. And the company that makes that saute pan. Also, the process of conduction is to blame, surely. And the estate of the early man who discovered fire, he's probably loaded.

    Don't forget Kraft! Stupid Marshmallows!

    If they were some knock off brand, stuff them in a Kraft bag… that's where the money is.

    You never know what I'll say (or do) when I'm going to sleep/trying to sleep/not being let sleep…so, I think they got off easy…BTW, when's the next holiday – I'd "warn" everyone?!?!!

  • Pop and Ice

    Ummm, perhaps you have a real (although small), serious burn that requires medical attention? If it hurt that long and had to be in cool water, you should have it looked at as you might need Silvadene to help it heal properly. Sometime it takes a day or two afterwards before you notice the real results of such a burn. Just being on the cautious side here.

    Oh, and bill the Atlanta Board of Education for your copays, at the very least.

  • minivan soapbox

    Sue 'Em! Isn't that what everyone does these days? Something like mental anguish or something…Not sure – but I'm sure you could find a lawyer that would support your cause! (sorry about the hand!)

  • LCM

    ooooohhhh noooo. hand burn. not good. hands get too much use… There will certainly be no dishwashing or laundry for the next 2 weeks. Wait, did I say weeks? I meant years….

  • Momo Fali

    I work in the kitchen of my kids' school (because my son chokes when he eats sometimes and I might have to save his life, and blahblahblah…he's such a pain in the butt…lucky for him, he's cute). I have burns all over my arms and now I realize that it's the fault of Columbus Catholic Schools instead of the fact that I'm a complete klutz.

  • Paige

    ouch. the good news on real burns is if they get super deep, it damages the nerves. So you don't feel it as much. Still hurts like a bitch getting there though, take my word for it.

    And as a lawyer, I am confident there is someone to sue here. There always is!

  • anymommy

    Definitely a law suit…they are a very deep pocket. Hope your hand is making a full recovery. That sounds hellishly painful.

  • Captain Dumbass

    Get the federal government involved too for coming up with Columbus Day.

  • Vic

    Vacation-induced hand burns are totally out this year. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

    At our house my daughter threw herself accidentally down the stairs in honor of Columbus, handily (heh) spraining her wrist.

    (Sorry about the burn!)

  • just making my way

    Burns suck. What also sucks is getting a burn when your husband is a chef cause he's all, "oh that nothing." Jerk.

    But back to you. If nothing else I think the school district should provide you dinners for the next 6 months.

  • Kate Coveny Hood

    One of the many reasons that I'm such a sissy in the kitchen. I'm terrified by getting burned or cutting off a finger.

    You poor thing! I hope it heals quickly.

  • Jett

    There exists an awesome video of my husband doing an impersonation of me being awoken.

    At the very end, you can hear Sam (who is standing just offscreen) say, "Oh my God, you NAILED that. You sound exactly like mom."

    I have been wanting to post it forever, but I'm too much of a technotard to manage getting it uploaded in one piece. *sigh*

  • Spot

    Why is it that even minor burns hurt soooo bad?! And since I cannot seem to cook w/out getting one I'm covered in the damn things. Last time I burned myself good, one of my smartass kids put a purple post it note on the stove that said:

    STOVE IS HOTTTT!! DUH!

    Brats. And I'm totally sure that's not what you said when you asked them politely to leave your room We all know husbands and children conspire against us daily.
