My personal countdown has begun. I can see the end in sight from this long tunnel of life that I have only known as school. ------>

Prenatal Vitamin

Hello all you girlies out there. I am going to stand on my soap box for a minute.
If you are of birth-giving age (between puberty and menopause), I recommend you take a prenatal vitamin or an equivalent that will give you the nutrients you need in case you become pregnant (on purpose or accident). Most of you probably know about folic acid. The recommended daily intake is 600 mcg if you are pregnant. Make sure you are taking at least 600 mcg folic acid daily. Folic acid deficiency results in (completely preventable) neurological problems, specifically spina bifida. The catch is... if you start taking folic acid when you find out you are pregnant it could be too late. This defect occurs within the first two weeks of pregnancy.
When I worked in the newborn intensive care unit, the majority of babies coming through were sick due to malnourished mothers. So please take at least a multivitamin that has > 600 mcg folic acid if you can't take prenatal vitamins. Thanks! I want to keep my girls' babies healthy!

Diabetes Spring Egg Hunt

Yesterday, we (Rho Chi) put on the annual Spring Egg Hunt for children with diabetes. It was a ton of fun and the kids had a blast. I am so glad that I have such wonderful opportunities like this at school. It's a ton of fun! I have posted the pictures so you can see the spoil! Enjoy.

Just smile and nod...

She's a Rebel

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. 

The first man had married a woman from the Philippines and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away. 

The second man had married a woman from China. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table. 

The third man had married a girl from Utah. He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and to have hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye; enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.
