You know it's time to get your kids out of the tub when you hear:
"Heeey! Don't put your finger in my butt!"
(To protect the innocent, and disgusting, I won't reveal who said it or whose finger I scrubbed raw.)

Overheard in My Kitchen
"Champ, you can blow yourself."
Pause
*SNORT!*
-Me, to Champ, after listening to him whine about needing me to blow on his tomato soup.

Deep Thoughts: The Snuggie
I know, I know. I feel like I'm officially on the bandwagon now. But this Snuggie-mania is out of control. People are rabid for it, in a completely mocking "I-can't-wait-to-tell-my-friends-that-I-bought-one-everyone-is-gonna-pee-their-pants" kinda way. Personally, I'm not so enthused. It's not that I don't get it, duh, it's just not that funny to me. And here's why:
Isn't it just a backwards bathrobe? This occurred to me when, after I put on my robe, my son asked me to put his blanket around his shoulders and commented "I wish my blanket had arms." Apparently the creator of the Snuggie also has a 4 year old.
So yeah, Snuggies are lame. We all knew this already. But my 4 year old really wants one, and I'm willing to bet my mother does too. So maybe they are onto something.
UPDATE:
Now, like I said, I'm late to this Snuggie craze, and apparently my thoughts on this are not original (lots of naughty words on this video, not for pussies):

Janeabelle's Top Ten List About Being Home Alone
10. The quiet that enables one to finish a thought, write a list, read an email.
9. Napping.
8. Not having to meet demands, answer questions, and say no!
7. Vacuuming without screams, panic and 2 young boys trying to beat the vacuum to death with golf clubs.
6. Picking up around the house without having to worry about everything being taken out again or a new mess being created behind you.
5. Watching TV without interruptions.
4. Reading. Not the same page over and over, but actual progress.
3. Eating without anyone mooching half of it off or plate or gagging so loudly and persistently that you can't even eat it anymore.
2. Taking a shower and putting on lotion without having to worry about anyone barging in and asking you what "those hanging things" are.
1. How nice it is to have them all come back home again.

Octuplets
Wow. Octuplets. Can you even imagine? How incredible and insane and amazing to have 8 babies growing inside you. The human body is an amazing thing to be capable of such a feat.
This woman, Nadya Suleman, who recently became famous for giving birth to octuplets is not, I believe, a bad person. I admire her courage. I admire her for not "selectively reducing" her pregnancy. She may, however, have some issues with attachment and love, but I don't think that she's a bad mother because of it. She may not be able to give those babies everything in the world, but it seems that she loves them, and their 6 other siblings, very much.
I find fault with the media in this situation, who have vilified this woman. Made her out to be insane, incapable, and fame-hungry. I'm also disgusted that companies like Huggies, Inafamil, Graco and the like have publicly said they will not be helping this woman with donations for her new brood. Maybe we don't agree with her decisions, don't understand why she's choosing to create such a large family with little help, and maybe in our eyes this situation is not one we would want to be in, but are these companies and the media punishing the mother and as a result hurting the babies? That's what I see. I see a family who could desperately use some help from all over, but because of the unconventional circumstances, those who are in a position to help are pulling away.
It's discrimination, and it disgusts me. These poor little babies don't deserve to be neglected. The mother should have considered her circumstances before going ahead with the decision to create so many babies, but regardless of how they arrived on this planet, all babies are a gift from God and should be treated as such.
I don't know, I may change my mind about some of these details later, but I won't change my mind about this woman needing help, and I will forever be ashamed of those who turned their backs on her.
Pray for her and all 14 of her children.
