Tough Times

For the past week I've had this song stuck in my head. It really helps me to remember to stop and enjoy my children when they're little. It's days like today that I need that reminder. Here's the song:

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins
She was starin out the window of their SUV
Complainin sayin I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money
And I'll make my own rules
Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school
And 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 her one bedroom apartment
And her daddy stops by
He tells her it's a nice place
She says, 'It'll do for now'
Starts talkin' about babies, and buyin a house
Daddy shakes his head
And says baby just slow down
Cuz' 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'
kid's cryin' one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says they don't bother me
I've got two babies of my own
One's thirty- six, one's twenty- three
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
You're gonna' miss this
Yeaahhhh... you're gonna' miss this...

The comment you left on mine made me smile, so I figured I needed to leave one on yours. First of all, Darcy is looking so cute, I can't wait to meet her. Also, I love this song too. I'm kinda young, so I don't quite get it yet, but I still think it's pretty good. Haha, this is Trace Adkins, right? One time I was watching CMT and one of his videos came on and mom goes "oh my gosh, who is that? he's so ugly!" and then later we heard the same song on the radio and she says "aah! it's the ugly guy!" haha, I guess she prefers snoop dogg and j-zay :)
