How ya doing? I&#8217;m a little spread thin, I swear. Today, I have Girl Scouts. Second to last official meeting for that. I&#8217;m both sad and excited.

I&#8217;m excited for her.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of children (and excitement), and part of the reason I&#8217;m just spread out so thinly: March 17. Y&#8217;all know it as St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. Well, we know it as Oh Crap! He&#8217;s Aging Up! AKA, my son Ethan&#8217;s birthday. This year, he turned SEVEN. To celebrate, we bought a new car. Okay, that wasn&#8217;t really a celebration, but he got to see a Camaro, which made him happy, I think.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"075\/366 [2012] - Little Boy and His Dream by TM2TS, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sarahcb21\/6990155799\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7067\/6990155799_9d440bf211.jpg\" alt=\"075\/366 [2012] - Little Boy and His Dream\" width=\"500\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s new with me. \ud83d\ude00 If anyone is paying attention, no, we didn&#8217;t buy the Camaro. We bought a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. Program car, so GM-certified everything inside when it comes to\u00a0maintenance, and 7500 miles, or so (a little more, but still *sweet*)<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->So, you remember <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/forumdisplay.php?297-Hey-Good-Bookin-The-GingerScraps-Book-Club\" target=\"_blank\">book club<\/a> right?
