I was talking to one of my coworkers last night at work and got a kick out of what she was telling me about her husband.  Don’t get me wrong we love our husbands dearly but it seemed like she was talking about my husband.  She was laughing and joking around a little bit, but some of the conversation turned pretty tense.

It all began because she had been a stay at home mom for the past couple of years.  Now that the baby is a little bit older she decided to go back to work to make some money.  What she has realized though is that her house is a mess, she can’t keep up with the laundry or dishes and she doesn’t know what to do.  She mentioned that her husband doesn’t really notice or at least doesn’t do much about it.  It was really funny to listen to her talk and to feel that I could totally relate to her.  What is the anwer all you women out there?  Are we really suppose to just let it go when we feel we are unable to work full-time and keep up with the house?

Usually when you think of heart disease you picture old, fragile men and women in their late 70’s or early 80’s.  Today new research has shown that heart problems can begin in children as young as 8 years-old.  Doctors in Chicago are suggesting cholesterol medication to children if they have to much LDL, or bad cholesterol, in their blood.

Obviously trying other methods first such as losing weight and increasing activity would be the best choice.  But when children as young as 8 are suffering from obesity sometimes medication is the only option.  Unfortunately obesity has become an epidemic for adults as well as children.  With over a third of U.S. children overweight and 17% obese; prescribing medication to young children may start sooner than we would like.

I found a great website this morning called LiveScience.com.  Everything from Technology, History, Space, and Animals were written about in interesting articles.  One article in particular that caught my attention was called “Scientist Get Closer to Center of the Earth.”  It amazes me how our technology is so advanced that we are capable of reaching the center of the earth.

One point that was made in this article stated that it’s difficult finding the center of the earth, because the earth is not a completely solid, round object.  Isaac Newton had made this point years ago.  One reason scientist are hoping to get to the center or the earth include, but is not limited to, finding out about earthquakes, volcanoes, and global warming.  Scientist are working day and night to be better able to understand the planet and to make our world a safer place to live.

I am starting to believe in the saying take the good with the bad.  My father recently was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had to undergo surgery about a month ago.  The good thing was they caught it in the early stages and the surgeon had done numerous surgeries of this kind prior to my Dads.

The best news of all besides the fact that they believe they got all the cancer cells out was that my dad has quit smoking.  During his stay in the hospital he wasn’t allowed to leave his room to smoke.  He was in so much pain and on so many different medications that he had to stay in bed.  He ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days without one cigarette.  I think that is the longest he has ever gone without a cigarette in all of the 50 years he’s been smoking.  I am so proud of him.  It is going on a month now without one cigarette.  I hope he is able to keep up the good work.

Americans love their cell phones.  Everywhere you go you will hear a cell phone ringing, or you will see someone talking on their phone.  The cell phone has become so popular that children as young as seven or eight have phones of their own.  It is also an invention that you wonder how you ever lived without.

An article was put on the internet stating the deadliest job in America.  You may wonder how this is related to cell phones, but what you might not realize is that working on cell phone towers is the number one deadliest jobs in America.  Hearing something like this makes you appreciate your job just a little bit more.  You may also appreciate that little device you’re holding in your hand a little bit more too.
