Is it spring yet?

Sorry I haven't update for a few weeks the last couple weeks have been crazy! Me and Jason were both sick with sore throats for the first 2 weeks of Feb. As soon as we got better we joined the new Gold's Gym out here and were excited to get going. That evening we went to dinner with my parents for Valentine's day and Griffin spiked a fever. He had it on Monday too so no Gym. Tues I had a fitness evaluation so I dropped the kids in the day care and left. Not even 15 mins later they come to get me to tell me he had thrown up. lovely. Thankfully my friend Sarah could come and get him and watch him at my house until Jason got home from work. He didn't throw up for 24 hrs so we tried to go back to the gym Weds for Jason's fitness evaluation. Went to pick him up and he suddenly had pink eye *sigh*. I whip out the drops I had from last time and start treatment. The next day as he's walking past (naked of course my kids never wear clothes at home) I notice a lump on his leg that's not baby fat. No it looks like someone took a bouncy ball and stuck it under his skin. Immediate call in to the dr. She runs a CBC test and an LDH test to see if it's more than a cyst. I stress all night, all day friday when they finally call to say the CBC is perfectly normal but the LDH isn't back yet. The LDH is the scary it could be cancer test. So I stress all weekend, I got sick, threw up, Tristan has had a fever all weekend and Jason's been sick too. I got the call this morning that his LDH came back NORMAL. I am so relieved that my baby doesn't have something scary. Now we'll just wait for the order for an ultrasound to be done and then meet with a general surgeon at primary children's hospital to decide what's next for the mystery lump. Needless to say it's been a very long and stressful week and half. I'm so done with it all and wish it was spring so we can be done with being sick and I can get in the gym! My body is just craving the work out and it sucks not being able to go! Funny to think that *MY* body craves the gym. I did get in there Friday thought and decompressed from the anxiety I was feeling because of "the lump". Amazing what 90 mins in a gym will do for your mental state.

Im sorry to hear everyone being sick. Can you work out at home before or after the kids sleep? If its nice, go for a walk, fresh air is great or do some videos ondemand on tv or the internet. Just some ideas, i have no car so I am suck home trying to get creative to work out a lot and yes my boy craves it also. GL!
