Sweet Morning

When I arrived home this morning from the gym, the phone rang. The caller ID says it's the school, and my stomach does an involuntary flip.

"Hello"?
"HI MOM!!!!" I can hear oodles of excitement in his voice (thank goodness!)
"what's up, hunny?


He tells me he's down at the nurse, and he won a prize, and it's a candy bar (!) and canhepleasepleaseplease haaave it?????

Mad dash to the computer, where I pull up my lifesaver. CalorieKing, type in Nestle Crunch.
Like magic, the stats come up:

2 seconds to look it up , and my little guy was off bolusing and enjoying his prize.
I must reference this website two, three times a day. Not just for carbs info, but for my own nutritional inquiries. Thank you CalorieKing- you are being added to my list on the side :)
