Another crazy week! I ended up in the ER Tuesday night after having severe abdominal pain. I was keeled over on the floor in so much pain, was alone with the kids so called 911 as it took a few attempts to get ahold of my husband. He got there the same time as the ambulance so he drove me. After some tests, they saw I have gallstones, so looks like I will probably require surgery. Will meet with the dr this week to see what the plan is. In the meantime, just need to be careful with what I eat. I stayed home to rest the following day and then Thursday was spent with some family in town and they treated us to dinner.
I'm feeling much better now so was still able to hit the jackpot with some savings this week!
Did my weekly grocery shopping at Winco for $46.
Made baby food peas, peaches, and carrots.
Made another batch of granola bars, put half in the freezer and a dozen breakfast muffins.
Triple duty crockpot meal: three chicken breasts in the crockpot for chicken sandwiches on Saturday, chicken noodle soup on Sunday and bagged four servings to freeze for work lunches.
Planned the next 2 weeks of meals based on what meat and ingredients are currently in my pantry. Will only need to replenish what I run out of and get my dairy/produce for the next 2 weeks at the store.
Did my own facial waxing and pedicure.
Made more homemade dishwasher detergent from a Pinterest post Click here for recipe
I used epsom salt instead of the Kosher salt. It also has Borax, washing soda, and Lemi Shine. My previous concoction of Borax and baking soda left too much residue. Before I switched, I also ran the dishwasher empty with the Lemi Shine and some white vinegar in the pre-wash cup. That stuff is amazing!! My dishwasher was sparkling!! So grateful I do not have to go back to manufactured brands. After switching so many of my cleaners to natural alternatives, I can't even walk down the cleaning/laundry aisles without gagging from the strong scents.
