I went to Bed with Scratches all over my Body!

Calm down ladies, it's not what you think.
Nothing that exciting--no I didn't go wrestle me some cacti, or Ben.
(sorry family for that picture but hey, we are married, we have kids, it happens)
I was itchy. So itchy I was using everything I could get my hands on to scratch with. Just so you know, even though the zipper on your hoody may feel good, it may leave a mark or two or six that your husband might look at and wonder what exactly was all over your neck....
I lived off this stuff when I was pregnant.
It worked great but there is never enough in one package.

I haven't had any packages of it in my house for oh, about six years now. Don't know why, it's some of the best stuff ever. I was going crazy last night. I got desperate.
I had the BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!

HEAVEN!!!!!!!

What have I been thinking buying tiny little packages at the store. Last night I ground up four, five, six handfuls, I have BIG hands, of oatmeal and put it in a baggie.
Then I put a few handfuls of oatmeal dust in my tub and settled in for a good soak with a book. My skin LOVES me today! NO itchy, No scratchy, No more funny looks from Ben.
I might do it again tonight. I was SO nice!

At my house we call that "Itchy butt". Haha it is when you need a bath, maybe you are sweaty or dirty or just need to clean up. Whatever it is bath time = Itchy Butt.
I so want to try that oatmeal thing though. It sounds nice, but how hard is it to get it down the drain? Will I have oatmeal in my crack?

That's funny! I used that stuff (in the package) when i was pregnant too. However, the hot water made me itch even more. Lets just say, I was miserable! =)

Way to go improvising!
