A Bad Case of the Januarys

My excitement/optimism for the new year lasts about a week!  This year, was no exception...except maybe I had a a little less excitement because I came into it already a little broken.  Here's a little how it went:

Bruised Tailbone--This was way more inconvenient than I would have thought!  Sitting, walking (quickly), driving, getting dressed (standing on one leg was the worst), showering, sleeping.  Ugh it was not fun.  And lasted at least 3-4 weeks.

Back/Hip Pain--Because my bed is a little firm, after I injured my tailbone, I started sleeping in Jordan's bed (which is super soft).  Well, at some point I slept wrong and my back/hip have been bothering me ever since (and it's February).

Eye infection--My eyes started itching...mildly at first and then more intense.  Finally one morning I woke up and my eye was so red and sore I could barely keep it open.  After a few days it cleared up...then a few days later it happened to my other eye.

Vertigo--One night while sleeping, I turned my head and the room was spinning.  This started happening every night and made sleeping really difficult.  It lasted almost an entire month...becoming milder and less often after the first week, but still happens every once in a while (and it's February).

Throw in my car breaking down, our fridge finally giving up, both kids home from school with colds and having to wait over 2 weeks to get in to see the doctor, and that makes up our lovely January.  

We did manage to squeeze in TWO absolutely wonderful things during the very last weekend, which I will blog about separately.  Always more good than bad, right?  Maybe not in January haha.
