If you're cold, you have to fight for it.
If you're sick, you're entitled to it.
If you're mom, you trump all and get it anytime you want.
We call it the Hot Blanket.
It's a heated throw blanket only big enough for ONE. Actually it's slightly too small for one, unless you're under 5 feet tall (and I just barely make the cut). Plug it in and select from 3 temperatures -- LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH. I prefer Medium.
It was a gift a couple of years ago from my guy. He's generally comfortable in our 59 degree winter house (well, it feels like it anyway) and I am usually wearing a sweatshirt, 2 pair of socks and earmuffs. Only once did I wear earmuffs. I have my limits. He bought me a hot blanket probably to shut me up.
We all love to curl up with the hot blanket and watch a movie or something -- but only one person at a time can enjoy its comfort.
Thankfully since it's technically mine, I can have it whenever I want EVEN IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY COZIED UP IN IT. UH-HUH.
Kid Two has been under it all weekend long. He's puny. And I'm generous.
The hot blanket is on my list of reasons to get a generator in case my electricity ever goes out for long.
That's all I've got today. It was a long weekend. :)

At least it isn't a snuggie blanket. LOL
I hope you are all getting comfy after the move!!!
Man, I have one of those yet it's been forgotten in the closet. We're getting our first (and probably only) snow today. I'm freezing. I'm gonna go get my blanket!
We have an electric blanket on our bed, it's my first, and I love it!!!! My husband has always wanted one but I sleep hot so I thought, no way.......well he was right, there is nothing like crawling into a very warm bed when it's 25 degrees outside, and almost every night I tell him he was right and I don't know how I lived before the blanket!

You should buy the kids a snuggie and never loan out the hot blanket. My kids would no doubt puke on the only kind of blanket you cannot wash.
My Hubs is cut from the same cloth - I was chilly, so went and looked at the thermostat and it was set at 65 degrees....I griped and was told that it had been that way for 2 weeks and so after week 1 and I hadnt noticed, I lost all rights to crank it up :)
He was kidding, but I let it go - I love my wool socks and I love quilts, so I can live with it...
Also - I read that if you are cold, you burn more calories because your bod has to work harder - so I just look at it like my exercise program ;)
