I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. Needless to say, there has been DRAMA in the Turner household. For anyone that may have been in the dark with us, I tore my ACL almost 2 months ago. Apparently, my husband was jealous that I was getting all of the attention and he decided that we didn't have enough struggles in our house with trying to re-arrange schedules and paying the bills that he decided he needed to be hurt too. So, almost a month ago, he (also while playing volleyball) broke his foot in 3 places and dislocated his foot. So, not only am I on crutches, but he is too. Our house literally came to a SCREECHING halt!!! So,, Chad and I have literally been laid up for the past several weeks. I had surgery last Tuesday and Chad has been off of work since he hurt himself. I took 6 days off and I am now back at work.
Since I have heard from several friends that I haven't updated my bog lately, I thought I should at least put something up. There isn't too much going on with us, needless to say, but we are doing well considering. My surgery was on the 17th. We thought I was just going in for repair of my ACL but it turns out that once they got in my knee, they saw that I also tore my meniscus on both sides of my knee. So, instead of me being off of walking for 2 weeks, it is now 4 weeks of no weight bearing on my right leg as well as not being able to bend my knee past 90 degrees for 4 weeks. I have physical therapy 3 times a week and I have a motion machine that I put my leg in to and have to do for 8 hours a day. It is a machine that constantly moves my leg and bends my knee to the degree that we set it at. Since I am already back at work, I typically have to go to sleep with my knee in the machine.
Our computer is not in the living room, so needless to say, when I get home, I am exhausted and crash where I fall. I am sorry we have been so out of touch, but there isn't really much going on with us at the moment anyway. We have WONDERFUL friends and family that have brought us meals, cleaned our house, watched our dog, driven us places, and come to visit us just to keep us sane. We truly appreciate all of you that have supported us and prayed for us through this unbelievable situation. I keep telling myself that we will laugh about this some day. I hope all of you will be there to laugh with us. We couldn't imagine our lives without all of you.

Unbelievable
I think my title says it all...UNBELIEVABLE!!! So I have to go to our other office this morning to drop off invoices so that we can have checks cut for people by the end of the week. First of all, might I mind you that this is a 14.5 mile round trip now that everyone keeps moving offices. It now costs me 8.00 a week just to take invoices to our other office and go get the checks once they have been processed. I don't turn in mileage for various reasons that would make this a very long post, so I won't go there. However, I have decided that I am probably going to have to start turning in mileage. However, the mileage issue isn't even what I am writing this about, but something along the way on this invoice trip triggered this "UNBELIEVABLE" moment for me as I am referring to it now.
So, on the way to take invoices to the other office, I notice that there is a brand new Dunkin' Donuts at the corner of one of the intersections I go through. Let me tell you a little something about me and Dunkin' Donuts...I have one word...INCREDIBLE!!!! I grew up with a Dunkin' Donuts in Tyler which was 30 minutes away from where I lived. On the rare occasion that we were in Tyler on Saturday night and my parents were getting along and we had money, they would stop and get donuts for us to eat before church the next morning. Dunkin' Donuts was a special treat for my family, at least to me. I know, I know...nothing special to most people, but it was special to us. Dunkin' Donuts became the tasty little treat that began to rule my life. I will take a Dunkin' Donut treat over Krispy Kream any day. Sorry, but it's true. Ok, back to my "UNBELIEVABLE" moment. So, on my way back to my office, I decide that I am going to treat myself this morning to some donut hole treats. One of my personal faves from DD. So, I stop and get myself some donut hole treats and an iced coffee (which is slowly moving into my new favorite treat). I will have to say, though, that no one has McDonald's on their iced coffee. Trust me...I have taste tested. As I am one of those people that don't like to eat while I am driving and I am only about 5 miles from my office at this point, I resist temptation to rip open the box of tasty donut hole treats and wait until I get to my desk to make a total pig of myself.
SOOOO...I get in the office, get to my desk, and carefully unlatch the hooked ends of the box of my tasty goodness that is going to start my day off right. "How could my day be bad when it starts off with Dunkin' Donuts' Munchkins Donut Hole Treats?" I ask myself. Well, let me tell you how my moment of angels singing as I open the box comes to the record screeching end. Like a flock of starving vultures, everyone in their mom decides that they need to walk by my desk at the moment I unleash my tasty goodness in front of me. Being interrupted...whatever, stopping to swallow and not choke myself...whatever. Those are minimal compared to what I am about to tell you. I WORK WITH THE RUDEST PEOPLE EVER!!!!! Apparently the people I work with were raised in a home that you don't have to ask to take other people's food. Apparently the people I work with assume that my casa is their casa. Apparently the people I work with were born and raised in a barn. APPARENTLY the people I work with are RUDE. Not one, not two, but 5 people walked by my desk and without asking, stuck their dirty, nasty little fingers in my box of tasty goodness and proceeded to help themselves to a donut hole...without permission, I might add. Yes, let me say it again...not one, not two, but 5 people walked by my desk and without asking, stuck their dirty, nasty little fingers in my box of tasty goodness and proceeded to help themselves to a donut hole. No, Sherry, may I have one, or Sherry, those look good, may I partake, or Sherry, I realize this is your breakfast and your incredible moment with your tasty goodness that rules your life. No, just grabbing. All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE!!! I have to say that I have NEVER in my life walked up to anyone's desk at lunch and assumed that I could just take a bite of someone sandwich because I thought it looked good and it was acceptable to take something that wasn't mine. Did anyone chip in on my tasty goodness this morning...NO!!! But for some reason, everyone thought that it was ok to partake in my awesomeness that is the Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins. I get that they are hard to resist, but is it that hard to ask permission to stick your hands in someone else's treat box?
Maybe I was raised differently. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind sharing, but you should at lesat ask me first. Am I crazy??? Please, someone help me understand what goes through some people's mind. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
