You're Gonna Miss This

OK, I'm new at this. OK, I'm nervous about this. I want to have the "perfect" blog - perfect for me anyway.

I've been keeping a journal since my son was born in 1997, so I think I'll be pretty good at this blogging thing. I love capturing funny moments from my children's lives, and when I look back and read what I wrote, it always provides me with joy and comfort. It's so easy to forget all those "little things" that your kids do, the funny sayings, and the big milestones.

These days, life is hectic and sometimes overwhelming. I always wish for the "next stage", but I know I'm going miss this. There's a song on the radio right now by Trace Adkins called "You're Gonna Miss This" and everytime I hear it I always think "yep, I'm gonna miss this". Here's some of the lyrics:

...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'
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
