You're Gonna Miss This
I like this song by Trace Adkins:
She was staring out the window of their SUV
Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and saysAnd s "Baby, just slow down"
Cause you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me.
I've got 2 babies of my own.
One's 36, one's 23.
Huh, it's hard to believe, but...
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"

Well...when I miss three or four weeks of your blog...you blog like crazy! I had to get caught up...even if it is 2 in the morning and I can't sleep! So many things happening there since we left obviously. Praying potty training is still sailing along. I am so in awe of your commitment to it. I did this back in January and I can feel your pain over the constant messes and constantly sitting on a little hard stool across from the toilet all day! I also feel your pain over the decision to keep Ian inside when you can't go out with him. I wish you lived in my old house with a LONG driveway and a big cul-de-sac. It would help a lot! Oh well. Hang in there. I am with you on the Steven CC thing and realizing that a lifetime of regret is no way to live. SO, good for you in realizing the safety limits. I wouldn't have had any good advice on that anyway because I can barely remember when I only had one wanting to go out. But I tended towards letting them go out unattended-with a frequent look outside every now and then because of our cul de sac and driveway. Praise God he protected them and still does even though I have big boys watching too now. But even big boys do dumb things and let their little brothers wander into the street. ANd we live on a street much more like yours now. Well...I think I may try sleeping again. Good to catch up with you. I also love that song by Trace. Love you friend...thanks for the comment on my blog! ~M
M - am I committed to it or obsessed with it... I don't know. I think that potty training creates a lot of stress for me. I found a way to get through it as quickly as possible and to not transfer my stress about it to my child... maybe it's just more of a coping mechanism for a high strung mommy! Ugh. I so want to be a calm laid back mommy. But, I just have to let the Lord work on the person I am! Love you too. -B
