Take off your shoes please!

This is not the post that I've been meaning to write.
But I'm 15 months pregnant and I'll do what I want to!!!

So, THIS is why I INSIST that people take off their outside shoes in my home!

I am not crazy, I just like being clean and HEALTHY!

So, everyone...
Please take off your SHOES in my HOUSE!

I knew it!

A good read!

An interesting article in regards to breastfeeding and it being linked to cutting the risk of breast cancer. I suggest to read it...its a quick read.

Did you want to know the 4-healthy habits that cut disease risk? Well here they are. None of them are earth shattering...we all know it...just a matter of following the professionals advice.

Well this one is a good one as well!!! Pessimism being linked to heart disease. Basically...if you a pessimist you've got more chances of your heart not liking that. Another quick read that is enlightening.

Interesting

I really thought that Israel was overpopulated with doctors.
In fact some doctors from the U.S.A were being told not to make Aliya for fear of not finding a parnassah...how can this be true?

Clutter=no room=dirt=WHY?

So I'm on a cleaning spree...sort of.
I'm always liking things clean...especially my house. Recently we are needing to make some more room for the new addition to our family that will g-d willing come at the end of August. With this making room, comes the realization that even though you de-clutter constantly and your house doesn't look messy or out of order...really it still is! Closets are awesome...but dangerous. There can be many things that go in the closet and then NEVER come out again.

THEREFORE...we DE-CLUTTER!

Donating to a good cause feels so good!
Selling things online, or in a used book store (just an example) also feels so good...and it creates space! Something that is more useful then a book that you haven't opened in 5 years and probably will never open again!

There are just somethings that are hard to part with because of all the memories...but really...the memory is not in the item...its in your head...or picture...you can always take a picture and keep it forever...and have a clutter free home :-)

Please take my boob, please!

This was the final nail on the head.

Usually in America there is a law under the FMLA that a woman can take up to 3 months off for maternity leave. Under this law you have to work in a company larger than 50 people for this to apply to you. You also have to have worked in the company for a year before this law applies to you. If either one of the conditions is not met...then you are what is know as...out of luck.
I had a fantastic HR person (clueless) who said I was eligible ...even though I'm with the company for 4 months. Well, because I like for all the i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed I called to confirm. NOPE I am NOT eligible.
BUT...I work for a fantastic company that even though I have not been here for a full year they are being so kind as to let me stay home for 8 weeks (yup two months).

So America...

While I go to work...I'll leave my boob's at home so MY KID CAN EAT!

And for the men and women that decided on these fantastic laws...well I've got a special place for you to go and I've got directions on how you can get there!
