Excuse #....1

So...I know, I know, I KNOW I said no excuses this year. But I am here to sadly report that I have my first, numero uno, excuse! (GIANT SIGH)

For the last few months I've been having some health problems. At first I thought it was my silent migraines, which I have struggled with in the past. But the dizziness started to get worse, accompanied by severe muscle weakness and fatigue. I've also had a constant, dull headache and have had ZERO energy. It was so bad on some days that I had a hard time taking care of my kids and barely had enough strength to pick up my 5 month old baby. My husband and I have been doing research trying to figure out what it is, and we were even considering the possibility of MS!

But, we think, or we're hoping we've found the culprit...my copper IUD!!! Crazy huh? Who would have ever thought that an IUD could make someone this sick? My husband found a ton of women on health comment boards talking about the exact same symptoms, that went away once they had their IUD removed. Wow! Could this really be it? It has been a miserable few months and I'd love to feel better so here's to hoping that once I get this thing removed on Monday, I'll start getting well.

So..that is my excuse for why my owning of 2011 has not quite begun. Rather, it is owning me. Hopefully I can show 2011 who's boss SOON!
