please critique my workout plan

ok, first off, i hate the cardio i can do for free at home. i'd love to get a bicycle, but i dont have the money, nor will i in the foreseeable future. i do like to walk, but i live on a VERY dangerous road and would have to drive to a neighborhood. (and by dangerous, there have been TWO pedestrians killed within 1/2 mile of my house, and i was rear-ended waiting for traffic to clear to pull into my own driveway) so while i would like a nice walk, its not very convenient.

so i decided that for now, i'd rather do some weight training of sorts. i have a resistance band that probably could be more challenging, and a 5 pound handweight, a pilates mat, and a yoga mat. (i hate yoga. too much thinking and then falling over cause my balance sucks)

i do have some physical limitations: patella tracking disorder, so no squats, lunges, deadlifts, or any other deep knee bends. if it hurts, i'm not doing it. well-controlled asthma, have inhaler if needed. spinal abnormality which needs special care to keep the front half of me strong and the back half well stretched, including my legs. a diasitis recti, for which i have some special exercises to do to correct that, so no crunches, no planks, no twisting. old shoulder injuries that limit upward movement, so i cant do things like a lateral band raise, or anything that mimics that movement.

ok so this is what i have so far:
upper body:
tricep rows 12-15 x 2 with band
bicep curls, 12-15 x 2 with band
wall pushups 12 x 2 until i can do real pushups

core: (these are to fix my abs)
pull ins as described on livestrong.com 20 reps
leg slide as described on livestrong,com 20 x 2 each leg
quadruped contractions on livestrong.com 50 reps

legs:
quads (to fix my knee issues, as decribed on webmd.com) 8-12 x 2 per leg
calf raises 12-15 x 2

butt: these are my own made up names for moves i saw in a video on youtube.
side kick 8-12 x 2
ceiling kick 812 x 2

stretching afterwords.

am i missing anything? i do this every other day, with rest (i.e normal daily activities) in between.
some things make me a bit sore, some dont.

in my daily life, i do a lot of sitting crocheting (for my business) i drive about 350 miles a week, and i have an 1800 sq ft house to keep, and 3 kids to take care of, one of which is nursing. i eat about 1750 calories a day. i'm losing weight, it seems to come off in big chunks, then nothing, then another big chunk. like 2 weeks with no weight loss, then 4 pounds at once, then nothing for a while, then poof another few pounds.

With all those restrictions, I don't have any suggestions for you other than to start with what you have. After a few weeks you should be ready to gradually start adding new exercises. Take it slow.
