rush, rush, rush

March 17, 2008 by Wendy S

(blog365: 77/365)

Mornings really suck in our household. As much as I try to get done the night before, the mornings are still caotic.

5:30 – I get up and shower
5:45 – Get Hubby up so he can shower; get dress and do hair
6:00 – Start waking up Munchkin; get Peanut up, changed and dressed
6:10 – Make sure Munchkin’s up and send her to the bathroom and Daddy will help her get dressed; I head downstairs with Peanut
6:15 – Peanut’s eating breakfast; I start coffee maker (which was set up the night before so all I have to do is turn it on); put my lunch in my lunch bag; Munchkin and Hubby are now downstairs; hand Munchkin her milk and bowl of Cheerios
6:25 – Get coat on, give kisses to everyone and
6:30 – Walk out the door with Peanut wining becuase she doesn’t want me to go

Ugh.

But then I heard this song this morning on my drive to work….

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’
One 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 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
You’re gonna’ miss this
Yeaahhhh… you’re gonna’ miss this… “

It’s true. No matter how crazy life gets. I don’t like how quickly time flies and Yes, I will miss this.
