Being injured is definitely no fun.
Instead of letting the “why me?” thoughts consume your mind, here are five ways to enjoy your time on the couch:
- You’ll have time to catch up on the stacks of magazines and books that have been piled up on your desk for weeks.
- You can get some much needed sleep. Remember that?
- Let others to wait on you for a change. Don’t feel bad about asking for help, you really do need it!
- You can watch a lot of television, guilt free! (Lifetime TV can be addicting, beware!)
- Spend your downtime reconnecting with old friends via Facebook. (I don’t really understand it, but it is neat to “find” people.)
And the best part of being couch-bound?
Hearing my husband say “Wow, I am exhausted. This mom job is TOUGH!”
Don’t sit down just yet dear, there is laundry to be folded! 
Have YOU been active today? Tell me all about it!

Hehe. I love this post.
I plan on going for a run with the pup. The weather is beautiful and my legs feel rested, so it should be a good one. I’ll put in an extra mile just for you.
How come that’s not a picture of YOU on the couch???
Please feel better soon.:)
Oh no, I’m sorry… but YAY for getting help. Take care of yourself!
fatfighter–because I look like something the cat dragged in (and chewed on my foot too!)
fitbottomedgirls: thank you for running for me, I’m sure it felt FANTASTIC!!
Yes indeed…the hubby having to step up!
Uggg, I just went through this, too. Sooooo frustrating. But you’re right, I read four books while my knee was being uncooperative. Take care! (BTW, watch out for HGTV, also very addictive, and I always come away with the urge to remodel my bathrooms).
Yes, there’s definitely some good points to sitting down and resting! There’s always things that need to be done and when you’re couch-bound you can catch up on those things:)

When you’re “in that moment” it’s so hard to remember that it’s temporary, isn’t it? That you *should* take advantage of what you CAN do when you’re down? Glad that you are making the most of your couch time because there will be days you look back on it fondly!
