Homemade vs. Store Bought

So, as a stay at home wife, and soon to be mother, I try to come up with ways to save money for our family. One of the ways we do save money is make homemade laundry soap. It makes 10 gallons, which lasts us forever. Now I'm on the hunt to make homemade Dish Soap. I will let you know as soon as I find something. I may even have to come up with my own. But I'm willing to try anything once. :D

I just had to have the Tuna Salad!

So as you all know I had to go for my Glucose test. Well the night before, we had revival at our church, and we had some refreshments afterwards. Well, there was some tuna salad there that looked sooooo good, so I at a little bit with 4...count them...1...2...3...4 Ritz crackers. That was it. I hadn't eaten anything sugary or high in carbs at all that day. Well anyways. I drank the Glucola stuff (which wasn't that bad, by the way) and sat there and waited to get my blood drawn. Then I went home. Well the next day I received a call from my Doctor's office, and my number was 134....it's supposed to be 130....how much was I over? Count it 1...2...3...4....Ugh. lol; So now I go back next week for the 3 hour test. Luckily I have Netflix on my phone!!

Glucose test.

So yesterday I went for my glucose test. I was pretty nervous since I read a million horror stories about reactions. I began drinking the drink on the way there, and it was not that bad. It actually tasted like a melted orange Popsicle. I don't know if I was the only one that the glucola burnt my throat, but after I finished it my throat was on fire. But it went away after a few minutes. So now it's just a sit and wait kinda thing.
