I have to say I was feeling really good about how much help I am to my DH.
He has been working on putting up siding on our house. (Lots of fun) We have ugly stone around our garage doors, and under our three windows in the front. Well, he took the stone off the garage and we did the siding. I got to use a nail gun for the first time! He decided if I wanted the stone off the front of the house I had to take it off. Well, today I decided that I really did want it gone and my friend and I took it off. I am now sitting here icing my foot because a chunk of it landed on the top of my left foot. At least I was wearing his steal toed boots. I'm glad I didn't get my arm or hand, I can still type. My foot has to be better before Thursday. I have to go to the sidewalk sale with my mom.
 
ouch!
i hope it heals up fast!

Me too, I have a lot of walking to do later this week.
 
Ow! Take good care of yourself.
 
If you had smashed your fingers, we'd expect you to type with your toes. Injury is no excuse for not posting here!:DI hope it feels better tomorrow but I have a feeling it'll be worse. Get better soon!
 
Sidewalk sales are important. I hope you're better in time.
 
At least you have a good motivation to heal fast... shopping! Jean Jonas would be proud :D

I'm not sure I could type with my toes. I'm glad I don't have to try.
