Surfin the Internet I find cool sites. Not all are useful to my family but still pretty cool. Since I'm surfing anyway I thought I would post them to my blog, in hopes that it may help a few passing by. I'd like to post one site a week on Saturday or Sunday.
So here the first cool find.

Cool Finds

This is for the Families with young childern, SAHM and or Home Schoolers....





So I'm surfing the net and I come across this site that offers a themed monthly activity guide with recipes, experiments and a recommended reading list for children ages 3-12. My kids are all over 12 years old, but I love idea. So if you are a family with young childern, SAHM or Home school your kids the Book of Days maybe a helpful resource of great activities for your children. I think it could make a great gift also, you could also include one of the books on the reading list.

There blog is pretty cool too.

P.S. I downloaded a copy to review and I think I'll give a gift to someone special and see how she likes it. I'll let you know the out come.

A long couple of weeks

I fell two weeks ago at work. It's called a contusion- a bruised knee.
sometimes it hurts like hell. Especially when my workers comp. doctor twist and turns it! I'm told it could take 4-6 weeks to heal. LESSON LEARNED don't WAIT. If you get hurt at work report it right away. I reported it but thought I would be OK. I didn't get medical treatment right away. Less than a week later I was in so much pain I was crying like a baby. Now I need physical therapy, but I have to wait to be approved. I have medical insurance if I could have gone to my doctor, I would be in treatment right now.

Which leads to my next statement.... What about those people who have no jobs or worse a job but no medical insurance. I don't get into politics on my blog often but I pray President Obama can get some cooperation from congress to help the masses and no just the wealthy.

My brace I don't know if it helps or not. The white thing-- Icy hot pain patch - that works.
Documented boredom.. thank goodness for project 365. I toke a lot of different pictures while waiting to be seen.
I'm on light duty- LOL there is no light duty in construction!
No paid time off. We make good money because on any given day I could get hurt worse than I was and not home at all. I'm thankful my injury was not severe.
Below are the reasons for my knee injury:
I did the right thing reported holes as soon a I saw them, I reported them numerous times to different safety people and not until after my fall did they cover the holes.
