[quote="ittsamother"]My main floor is just one big pesach kitchen, closed up the rest of the year. Down in the basement we squished a little couch and dining room table, next to our teeny tiny year-round kitchen.

Which of your children has the most unique name?]

Two of my children have unique names. We get sentimental when it comes to naming our children:

-Trainy - b/c my waters broke on a train Can't Believe It

when I was pregnant with her!

-Bassy - I decided the contractions weren't that strong and I could take the bus - one hour drive to the hospital, save the expense of a taxi and be less time in hospital before the birth. Well, I'll just say she was almost born on the bus! Lucky there happened to be a midwife on the bus who noticed that I was in very active labor, she quickly called an ambulance!!!

Do you have the tendency to not have contractions before giving birth?

I just buy babies off the shelf, easiest thing ever, I just choose the cutest ones, it's so easy that I bought 20 children.
(In reality, I suffered many years of infertility. I was almost near death by one birth. Truth is I never went into labor on my own, was always induced or had emergency c-section)

What are your chol Hamoad plans?

What you mean I'm one of the singers, I create the music, compose and all

Are you back to routine schedule?

WOW!!! I'd love to hear you sing. The only Jewish female singer that I've heard is Miriam Israeli.
Oh! It just occurred to me - are you her?!?!?!

Today??? I was back to routine schedule an hour after Yom Tov finished!

Do you wear a sheitel or a tichel or a hat?

Can't stop crying that I will miss the whole event. I have always been in the Front row waving my little Flag as the Royals drove by.

Do you relax a little in your garden on Shabbos?

We have a minhag going 10 generations back, that every family member from when they have teeth have to eat a red, yellow, light green, dark green, and orange pepper, 3 times during the night - midnight, 3a.m., the third pepper should be entirely consumed before zman Alos haShachar.
It's a segulah to sleep well at night!

Is your dining room table rectangular or oval shaped?

We have a unique table shaped like a Magen Dovid. It's so large that family members that don't get along can sit at opposite sides of the table and you don't feel the tension. Laugh
