On the 7th night of Chanukah

The Jewish calendar is lunar, unlike the New Year that is coming up that is on the Solar calendar. Also Jewish days begin the night before, for instance our Sabbath starts Friday night until Saturday night.  So tonight is the 7th night of Chanukah and it was beautiful, simple at home together.

Today was a day of recovering from our Sunday Funday, non stop parties and Chanukah events.  My daughter woke up with a runny nose and I had a bit of a scratchy throat.  I am happy to report my baby just had his first good poop since Fluid Friday-Sunday.  I was going to go to an event, but got the venues confused, so we ended up grabbing my big boys bike and heading to a park.  He had a blast, but as soon as we arrived my daughter felt nauseous and threw up in the grass. She didn't have an appetite all day, which for her is off, even though she is a petite little lady, she loves to eat.  My baby also still has a bit of a runny nose.  We stayed in during the chilly morning, but when temperatures got to almost 80, I figured the sun would be good for them.  Hopefully everyone, including me, will be feeling like themselves again.  Maybe it is all the fried food, maybe the shot of vodka, but my head and body have been off all day.  Once we got home from the park, I put them all on a show and took a nap, I have a few days off now for Chanukah.

I just ran across the picture below and found it fascinating.  We are made of matter, we are minerals, everything is unique, even how we cry and for what reason we cry.

We are miracles,

This photo series by Rose-Lynn Fisher captures tears of grief, joy, laughter and irritation under the microscope. Tears aren't just water. They're primarily made up of water, salts, antibodies and lysozymes,
but the composition depends on the type of tear. There are three main types - basal tears, reflex tears,
and weeping tears. 
As you can see, they can look incredibly different when evaporated
 and placed under a microscope. more info: http://bit.ly/RJqvK7
