"You're Gonna Miss This"
Friday, February 1, 2008
I am not sure why, but for some reason I have been listening to Country music lately. Well, I take that back. I do know why. We have the privilege of living just miles from the Canadian border and although we love some of the perks of living so close to our northern neighbors, there are some drawbacks also. One of which is not having any good radio stations. Tom has a few favorites here, but has admitted to not liking them as much as other places we have lived. Tom and I do not always agree on the same type of music though. We have our common ground, but we also have our genres that the other does not appreciate. Country, for instance, Tom does not approve of.
Anyway, to Tom's dismay I have been listening to Country music lately and came across this song the other day called "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins. This is the chorus...

"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"
The lyrics jumped out at me because I have been trying to focus on that exact thing lately. Logan and I had been having a hard time because I realize that I had been focusing on all of the other things that I need to get done more than I had been focusing on him. I still have to get those other things done, but there are ways that I can do that and involve Logan. Like cleaning, for instance. He LOVES to help. I just need to take the time and show him how. Once I realized this and focused more on it our days have gone much more smoothly.
I realize that as hard as these days are sometimes (which probably sounds crazy to some of you who have multiple kids coming from me with just one) I will miss them when they are gone. I will miss it being just Logan and I being able to spend all of this one on one time together. I will miss all of the cute stages that he is going through. I will probably even miss the temper tantrums at some point... well, maybe not those. I really don't see myself missing diaper changes either. There are plenty of moments that I will miss though and I need to take advantage of them while I can.
I really should stop listening to Country though. I heard a song about a little girl today and started crying. :)

Be careful of the country curse Betsy!! It'll mess with you. :) I hear ya though. I need to stop blogging about my kids and pay more attention to them :)
Good post. I agree. Our family is what is most important to us so why is it so difficult to give them what they really need which is our time and attention. I need to work on this one.
I kinda had those same thoughts a while ago and it was from a country song too. How wierd. Listen to "Let them be little" I forget who sings it.
Great post. I'll have to check out that song.
There is nothing wrong with Country!! I have been thinking the same thing lately!
