<p> Sometimes as a parent you neglect yourself so much and don't even realize it until someone points it out to you. We lived away from our home for many years and were always coming home to visit. We would pack up the van and the kids with all their games, movies snacks etc and head out. I would sit there driving for up to 5 hours at a time and never stop unless one of the kids were crying or needed a bathroom break. So many times I would drive and be struggling not to drifting off to sleep while driving. My wife would nudge me to make sure I wasn't sleeping. I started taking coffee with me to try and help stay awake. I was reading about the <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=23641&oid=8595369'>Insurance Hunter’s safety survey</a> which talked about these situations exactly. The results showed that the majority of parents thought it was important to have everything set for their kids comfort but forgot about the driver in most cases Dad and what he needed to stay alert and comfortable to ensure everyone arrived safe. The results were scary but seemed like I really fit into them to with 64% of men reporting driving while tired. I would encourage you to take a look at the entire survey and compare the results to your own road trip situations. I'm so glad we decided to move back to our home town so we can eliminate the long road trips that we were doing a couple of times a month for years. It's so much safer and easier now knowing that we only have to drive a few minutes to visit with all our family. Of course it is always important to have a good <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=23639&oid=8595369'>auto insurance</a> policy to ensure that you have the necessary coverage to protect you and your family during your families road trips. If you are lloking for a new insurance provider I would encourage you to shop the Insurance Hunter's website for fast insurance quotes to meet your needs.

It's the first vacation I have taken in a couple of years due to changing careers. I really haven't spent as much time as I'd like to with her over the last year or two due to work demands and moving. I remember now many of the reasons why I love her so much. She is so focused when she wants something she works until she gets it. She's not afraid to work and has a good eye to see things right that keeps me on my toes when we are doing projects. She's fun, you have to watch for it but she is a joy to be around most of the time, even when she frustrates me. Most of all she's beautiful, even covered in paint and wearing raggy clothes she's still that beautiful women I fell in love with years ago.

It was an exciting process to build a new home from scratch. We began at Christmas time last year with a visit to a local builder just dreaming. We had conversations with them and went back a couple of times falling in love with the model home. We worked with them to personalize the plan and signed our deal early in the Spring. They worked on the home all Summer and finally Sept 1 we go to move in. I don't think we could have asked for anything more. We decided to finish the basement ourselves to save some money so that was our project for the first week. We are now all settled in and the kids have returned to school in our new town.Mattyboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083767349398285291noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165894386638874973.post-83212071560558543652012-08-15T19:36:00.001-03:002012-08-15T19:36:54.747-03:00Insurance Hunter online broker

It has been linked to increased risk of heart failure and heart attack in patients taking the drug. I find it so dissapointing to see this kind of new release considering all the research and testing that has taken place prior to this drug coming onto the market. Why wasn't this caught in the initial test phases before putting more patients at risk. I'm glad to hear that a <a href="http://www.actos-heartattack-lawsuit.com/">Actos lawsuit</a> is being formed to help patients get the answers and compensation they deserve from the makers of this drug.

I can't imagine what parents go through when they are faced with a child that has birth defects. It was recently discovered that a drug used for treating epilepsy and migraine headaches may also have caused birth defects in the children born to mothers that took the Topamax drug. A <a href="http://www.txinjurylawfirm.com/">Topamax lawsuit</a> was recently formed to help families that are faced with this issue and hopefully help them gain some closure to their challanges.<br />

I thought it still had some life in it but we had to make a decision. With junk day coming up we took it to the curb to see if anyone wanted it or to have it picked up.

We are always hearing about the next drug that has been found to have terrible side effects that no one could for see. It makes you wonder what the process really is to make sure that new drugs on the market are really safe for human consumption. The latest case I have heard about is the <a href="http://personal-injury.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/Do-I-Have-a-Topamax-Lawsuit-if-I-took-the-Drug-While...-8591.html">Topamax lawsuit</a> which is been filed based on birth defects in babies whose parents took the Topamax Drug for Epileptic Seizures and Migraines. The birth defects include cleft lips and palets causing terrible phycological effects on the parents and children that are effected by this drug.Mattyboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083767349398285291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165894386638874973.post-36359614494142694712011-05-10T22:38:00.002-03:002011-05-10T22:38:44.430-03:00Lego club disappointmentThe boys were very excited to sign up for the lego club that was offered free in their lego toys. Now the club said they would get a magazine in 6-8 weeks. They filled out their forms and sent them in in September when they went back to school. They figured they would have their membership kits by November at the latest but as the months went by I had to let them know that I didn't think they would get them. Finally the other day one magazine arrived for Blake, but nothing for Kohl. It took 9 months not the 6-8 weeks they advertised so it was very disappointing. I hope someone from Lego sees this and makes changes to their program.Mattyboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083767349398285291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165894386638874973.post-63409982156280490042011-05-10T22:35:00.002-03:002011-05-10T22:35:46.871-03:00What a wet springOK, I'm all for a spring rain but really 2 weeks straight of rain is a bit much. I think we have had enough already, now it might not be that bad if the temperatures were a bit warm too. We have been struggling with temperatures in the single digits and it is way too cold. I'm tired of using the heat in the house to keep from freezing, normally we would have had it shut off over a month ago.Mattyboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083767349398285291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165894386638874973.post-33069163993733034402011-03-28T00:09:00.000-03:002011-03-28T00:09:32.776-03:00joint surgeryBrrr...I can't get over how cold it has been staying outside, it is never like this so late into the Spring season. It made me start to think about other cold things and I came accross this information about a <a href="http://www.txinjurylawfirm.com/cryotherapy-lawsuits">cold therapy lawsuit</a> that is being started. Now this all comes from a prescription therapy from doctors to aid patients in healing post surgery from joint surgeries such as elbow and knee. The idea is to circulate cold water around the surgery site to reduce the pain and swelling but if it is done for too long or at too cold a temperature it can actually cause more harm then good by causing permanent nerve damage or chronic pain to the area instead of helping.

It is a fun loving movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all.
