Bum knee

Our in home interview went wonderfully, thank goodness the agency sent us an animal person! We were pressed to accept a sibling group again but she did accept our refusal. I have nothing but respect for parents who can do so, but thats not me. We *should* be licensed foster parents right now but Dh's boat refused to honor his signed day off, and as such we have to wait to take the class again (and drive very far to do it sooner) till July 12th. This could pose a problem as i have injured my knee badly enough to require a full leg immobilization cast. And the military doctors are dragging their feet, i hurt my leg a week and a half ago (had to go to the emergency room because I couldn't get a doctor appointment till the 24th) and Monday a full two weeks after i was hurt i can SCHEDULE the MRI to see whats up with my knee. Yeah. And i need another minor surgery that is waiting to see whats going on with my knee. I'll tell you what, I will book EVERYTHING around this class. Its more important to me then getting my knee fixed.

i'm struggling right now with being laid up on the couch. I had plans to pain my bathroom, finish the nursery trim, attack the yard, make concrete stepping stones,finish painting the outside of the house, make a rock back patio, and plant flower beds in front of the house. not to mention enjoying summer. Dh and i were thinking about taking a cruise! (through the military) We were going to stay in the caboose we stayed in our first night as a married couple for our 3rd anniversary. Instead my poor over worked husband is having to do the best he can around the house, while i do what I can without injuring myself.

There is a positive to all this.
I get time to read.
I found Dave Ramsey, and he is getting me fired up to do better financially.
I have time to scrap book, i love to do it but am usually to busy.
Plenty of time for animal pets.
Lots of time to coupon, and really search for good deals.
More mind full of trips in the car, since riding hurts and I cant drive.
We have cable TV, when i was sick from my ulcer we did not.
I don't make any income so we're fine financially
Navy medical, all the things I've been through would cost a fortune otherwise!

I'm trying to learn to be content with the way life HAS to be and not beat myself up over letting things go. I AM going to vacuum while sitting on the couch, lol. If only we had a wheelie chair down here i could vacuum a lot more but it would probably hurt the floor.

I do need to call our agency and advise them of the injury, which i hope does not cause any problems. I'm SO worried about that!
