We are supposed to be getting about 2 inches of snow tonight. We are all very excited here! James has been waiting for it to snow so we can go sledding. I'm hoping we get some and it sticks and it's as much as we are supposed to get. We want to go sledding tomorrow!!!!
After dryland practice today I was going to go out for a run, but we are getting freezing rain right now. Ugh...It's getting really slick out there. I am getting a gym membership after the first of the year so I will be able to go run on a dreadmill when its bad like this. It's just icky and icy out right now.
James and I went grocery shopping this morning because he's making dinner tonight and Thursday night. We are having breakfast tacos tonight and homemade fish sticks on Thursday. He really is a big help grocery shopping. He picks out the fruit and veggies to go with everything and he decides on the lunch stuff. James is really good at eating healthy things. He keeps Mike and I on track.
I got up this morning and went in for dryland. Only 7 swimmers showed up, but they worked hard while there. We have a 2 hour water practice yet this afternoon. I hope more are planning on showing up. If they don't practice over these two weeks, January won't be pretty.
Right now James is starting on his Thank You cards. He's busy working on them and we will start mailing them out tomorrow. He is doing a good job, but we are spacing them out over the next few days so he won't get bored.
Well, I'm off to finish writing my torture...I mean workout...for tonight. Have a great day!!!!

Post Christmas and a Good Run
Christmas was really good this year. We had a lot of fun leading up to it and yesterday was great!
Friday we went to the inlaws house for dinner because Mike's aunt and uncle were coming over. It was a nice dinner and James opened his present from them as well as the present from Uncle Pat and Aunt Kristie. He got Mouse Trap from Rick and Judith and spy gear from Pat and Kristie. Both things had to be tried out when we got home. We played Mouse Trap and then he tried his night vision goggles.
Christmas Eve we picked up the house since we had the wraping stuff and the dogs destroyed another tennis ball. Everyone helped and we were done in no time. We went back to the inlaw's house for our Christmas. Mike's mom had to work so we did presents Christmas Eve. James had a good time and loved all the Cars 2 cars he got and the new cookbook.
When we got back home James found out that Nicholas went back to the North Pole but had left him new Christmas pjs that glow in the dark.
The animals even joined in the fun.
We went back to Mike's mom and dad's for breakfast. When we got home we started setting up the Hot Wheels wall tracks we got.
After we dropped James off at his mother's house, Mike and I went to Victoria Park and Waterloo Park with the dogs. We had a good time and it was nice to get out and walk.
Today we are having a lazy day. I did get out and go for a short run. I ran just over a mile and I felt pretty good. I haven't run for a month and I've been on the meds for just over a week. I think they are helping. I didn't feel dizzy at all. I like that. Now, we won't talk about how icky I felt after the run after not running for a month. That's okay though, it will come back pretty quickly. I run a 5k on Sunday and I know it won't be pretty, but that's okay. At least I'm back out there and running.
Tomorrow it's back to practice and back to the grind. I will be having everyone help me clean and James is going to make dinner for us. It will be a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying all the time with my family.

Later in the afternoon we all kind of crashed. James read a book that Great-Grandpa Vannette got him. We all just kind of relaxed.

I miss running right now
I haven't been able to run and I'm really missing it. I'm going through some testing to figure out what's wrong with me. I haven't been able to run because when I do I get dizzy. I know its my blood pressure dropping because I also get dizzy when I stand, sit, or do anything. Hopefully the blood work will show what is wrong with me and I can be on the way to fixing it.
I do have a race on New Year's Day and that will not be pretty if I don't get some runs in. I'm really hoping that by this time next week I will know what is wrong with me and we will be working on fixing it. If not, I will have to go to plan B as soon as I figure out what that is.
Things have been really busy. I've been doing my Christmas baking when I can stay awake to do it. Swimming is really kicked into high gear with meets before Christmas. I was at a meet all last weekend and will be at one all this weekend. Then it 2 more weeks of practice and we are on break. Not that the kids won't be in the pool over practice, because they will be, but they won't have school to worry about.
James is getting excited for Christmas. He helped bake cookied two weekends ago. He loved it! After he spent all day baking he made dinner that night for us. Here are a few pictures from our cooking fun.
Nicholas, our Elf on the Shelf, arrived and James has been busy letting him know what to tell Santa. He loves trying to find Nicholas every morning
My Christmas shopping is pretty much done so that is one thing off my plate. I have Monday off and my list keeps getting longer and longer of things that need to get done. It seems that it never ends.
We just keep plugging along though.
