Because Megan was out of school during the summer I didn't swim laps as often as I would have liked. But since she started up again in early sept I've been jumping at the chance to swim 3 days a week. Then I got sick and missed a week of swimming. I had started at a half mile and was working my way up before I got sick. When I got back in the pool I barely made a half mile. But today I did it a whole mile and in 52 minutes.

It made me giddy and stupid. I put my pin number in the machine when I was later paying for something with a credit card. - you don't need a pin for a credit card. And then after I picked up Megan and was on fire cracking jokes with another mom.

So i'm not at all nervous about the swim a thon next week.
