First, just as an FYI, Alex stayed home from school yesterday. He was up Monday night puking several times. Very mysterious, I felt a bit ooky Sunday night myself. Anyway, he felt well enough to do his first swim team practice with Adam Tuesday evening so... I don't know, there you go.

7:15 Drop off. Ariel was not initially excited about the pancakes.

8:00 After I dropped Alex off at school, Ariel was more excited about pancakes and ate 1 1/2.

After breakfast, I combed Ariel's hair then she treated me to a concert:



8:40 Took Ariel to school.

While Ariel was at school, I did a bike ride. I am having way too much fun with my GPS heart rate monitor. My workout today was supposed to be 90 minutes with 3 15 minute intervals at zone 4-5. My left shifter is broken and I can't get into my big chain ring (Jeremy is going to replace it, getting two shifters and cables is going to be $300, can you BELIEVE that?). So to do hard intervals I had to go up a hill. I picked the NCAR hill and did it 3 times. But just look at this perfect graph - the green line is elevation and the red is heart rate. You can even see that on the last hill I hit 15 minutes before the top (well, I did on the first 2 too, but I just turned around there) and then I finished up the hill at a lesser effert.



11:15 Got back from my ride just in time to get Adam. After getting Adam, we ran to the grocery store for a few things. Like sugar, we've been sweetening our coffee with simple syrup this week. But I wasn't organized enough to do a full trip.

1:00 Picked up Ariel. The report today was that she had a poop accident right at the beginning of school, but was very good with the pee. Also, she made a noodle necklace that she's very proud of.

1:20 Got home, Ariel had a bit more of her lunch before napping.

2:00 Down for nap.

4:00 Pick up.
