It's Magic!!!

Ok so i have been CURSED with the grossest, driest, cracked, dry ugly feet. . . Chad gets mad when my feet touch him at night because he says they scratch him. So I try all products, I file I scrub, I soak, I lather with vasoline, with different loations. Well I FOUND IT!!! the Miricle Cream that works. I was wondering Walmart . . . I love to waste time looking at isles in the health section and the craft section . . . Well I found this cream last week. . . I think it was the best $4.00 I have ever spent. I have used it maybe 5 nights off and on for about a week coating it on my heals and wearing socks along with a good scrub with a file in the shower in the morning. My feet actually look like girl feet now. I seriously can't believe the difference. SO... I am going to be a strong advocate for this Flexitol Heel Balm and it's powerful 25% urea based ingredient that nourishes the skin. This comprehensive formula increases the skin's natural renewal process, speeding exfoliation of itchy, over-dry skin at the surface. Urea breaks down hardened, callused skin and eliminates cracks and fissures. BUY IT!!! USE IT!!! esp if you have gross feet like mine used to be like.. NOW i just have to figure out how to make my elbows soft!!! Maybe I will try this cream on them? Any other suggestions???

ME ME - "Dawn Needs"

I have noticed one floating around in blogspace recently that caught my interest.
You do a google search for “(insert your name here) needs” and list the top five results of your search.
Well, in a fit of boredom, I searched for “dawn needs”…and the results I got made me laugh so hard, I cried.

Dawn Needs a Tripod. You can see why.
Don’t know why I need a tripod, unless my destiny is to be a filmmaker.. Alas.. That’s it.. I know my destiny now..

Dawn needs a headcount before Thursday of this week so sign up quick!
I am trying to figure out what I need a head count for. But maybe of who will be joining me for the next Iron Chef Party sometime in July when I get back from HAWAII!!!

Dawn needs to get over herself.
Well… I am sure you all agree…

Dawn needs to know where she came from.
I am proud to let you all know that I came from under a rock. My alien parents left me there to be found so I could be raised in a human family and I could grow up amongst them and start breading … to make more aliens to take over Earth. Now that you all know I MUST BEAM YOU TO MARS!!

Dawn needs hair to hang over her right eye.
I don’t know why I need it over my right eye.. I know I did a hair style like this back in 9th grade with beautiful bangs hanging over my eye.. but I believe I did it over my left eye.. I guess I will be brave and try it again but this time over my right eye..

Dawn needs to be on TV land.
I don’t know why TV Land.. maybe they have a game show where I will be able to win MILLIONS of dollars.

Dawn needs a MIRACLE.
There you go.. I will take the miracle of being on TV Land so I can win the MILLIONS of dollars.

Dawn needs some man on man action!
Hummmm… I don’t know why I would need that.. That kinda creaps me out. Unless.. I know.. I am going to be watching Ultimate Fighting later today.. can that count as the man on man action I need???

Dawn needs some new friends
Ok I must need new friends.. because I was only supposed to do 5 of these and the current friend (the computer) wont let me stop looking up what I need. Aaaaahhhhh…

Dawn needs to get out of the house.
Again….. I am totally needing this. I’d take a date or anything to get me away from this dang computer that wont let me leave…

Dawn Needs Help!
Ok this must be the end.. I do need help. I need help in lots of ways. I need help cleaning my house, I need help putting away the laundry, I need help..
So help me dang it … stop reading and HELP ME!!!!!! I must stop this search about what I need.. I TOTALLY NEED HELP..


So there you have it. If you get bored and feel inclined to Google search your own needs, let me know. I can always use a good laugh.

Pretty Chad

So Ashlyn and Our Cute Baby sitter girls gave Chad a MakeOver Yesterday. It was so cute.

Thought i would post some of the Pictures.

TinkerBell Cake

So I am so sad that i dont have any sisters around to make cakes for but it was Cheryl's Bday and she LOVES TinkerBell so last night i wondered Walmart for a while and decided on this.. It was so much fun to make.. And seriously SOOOOO SIMPLE... i used some cheap beads from the dollar spot for the boarder of the cakes then some little flowers from the craft spot and then these cute tinkerbell fairy dolls. that flower thing on top came with the fairies. Everyone loved it. Thought it was Bought not Made. which made me feel good. Cant wait to do Braeden's Fear Factor one? Any Suggestions.. he wants dirt and worms, I was thinking of printing off the Logo and laminating it for the middle with a bunch of crushed Oreo's shoving some gummy worms maybe some gummy eyeballs... ok so this is only a thought.. I am up for any suggestions.

The STINKY side of Motherhood!!!

My night/morning has been so eventfull... Chad and I woke up at 12.45 to Ashlyn PUKING all over her bedroom.. her bed was covered, her duvet the entire floor (she had run to the bathroom to finish) So I spend the next several minutes giving Ashlyn a bath, brushing her teach rinsing out her mouth with mouth wash, cleeaning up the bathroom floor, toilet and wall... and chad got the sheets off the bed and sprayed the carpet with cleaner. So I get ashlyn all settled in her bed again and go start a load of STINKY PUKIE bed stuff. . . just as I was climbing back in bed Ashlyn comes into my bedroom complaining that her belly still hurts so we go to the kitchen and get a barf bowl just in the nick of time because she started puking a TON more... AAAAAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHHHH.....
So after I clean that up Ashlyn wants to get back into our bed. Figuring we are safe because she has seriously puked up anything that could have been in her stomach i bring her and the barf bowl back to our bed. I lay there... and lay there... and I just can't fall back asleep. So I decide to come out to the couch to fall asleep watching TV. I JUST CAN'T SLEEP. I watch Extra, Inside Edition, Medium, CSI Miami and look at the clock.. I can't believe it is 4:30 AM now. I should be getting out of bed (or off the couch) to go to the gym but decide to FORCE myself to fall asleep. and I end up sleeping for maybe an hour. I wake up to change loads in the laundry, and to Chad pointing out this nice brown spot in our bed with a little brown rock pebble thing. He says "What IS this?" It was right were Ashlyn was sleeping. Well... it doesnt look like puke it MUST be Diareah (and a hershey squirt)
So I rip the sheets off and ad those to the already ENORMOUS amount of laundry I have to do from the night... and as I am sorting through that... I turn behind me and realize that SOMEONE (my guess one of the boys) SOMEONE has PEE'd in the Laundry Room Garbage Can. So after trying to get one of the boys to admit to it and getting no where with it... I go outside to clean it out... I am So frustrated at this point.
Puke, Diareah and Pee all within a few hours... OH... I am not done yet...
so it is now 10 AM Ashlyn has Pooped in 5 different pairs of panties... YES I have decided to be wastefull.. I am refusing to wash anymore.. so all the panties are going into the garbage. Where is the day going to lead us.. What other CRAP can I clean up?

My Sick Girl..

So Irelyn has been so sick for the longest time. Starting in the beginning of January she has been being treated for ear infections. We go to the Dr. at least one or two times a month.... We then moved on to try Myro Therapy... Where the guy popped Irelyn's neck,back and the roof of her mouth. Then back to the Dr. two weeks ago and then we started a round of Shots. 3 days in a row we went to the Dr. and he gave Irelyn a shot in her bottom of antibiotics. Well on the 3rd day Irelyn's feaver that had lasted almost a week was STILL not going down. Well... the Dr. searched for some other reason and sent us to get an X-Ray... where we found out that Irelyn has been suffering from Phenumonia... Ok so it was a very mild case but still she had been so congested, and so misserable. She was so pathetic looking One morning she woke up and I had to get this picture... I know it was mean for me to take the picture BEFORE cleaning her up.. but I knew the picture would be worth it... Immeadiatly following she puked up tons of snoty stuff. Life has been miserable. We have one more round of antibiotics to try then we will have to fork over for tubes!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!
