I have found that I have been having a hard time with all of this kid stuff lately. I don't know if it is because I am steal dealing with some post partum emotions or if this is just life with 2 kids. I feel like I am losing my mind most days and this crazy stuff has been starting to get to me. So me being the dork that I am, typed out the lyrics to a song that kind of puts me back in the frame of mind that I need to be. I then taped them in strategic spots in my house so when I want to throw Phoebe, Dallas or myself off the roof I can read them and gain some sense of togetherness again. Here they are, thanks to Trace Adkins.
"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
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"
So now, when Dallas is throwing a tantrum or Phoebe is screaming her head off I remind myself that in the months and years to come I am going to miss when my kids were little and I need to enjoy these moments, even the bad ones.

And you will miss it, believe me. It seems like my older two were just wee ones yesterday. I am glad you found a touching way to remind yourself to cherish this time even though things can be hideously difficult at times.
Oh Ashley, I know exactly what you mean. I try to remember that these years go by much too quickly. Hugs!
What great lyrics. And what a smart way to remember - posting them around the house. I wish I could etch these memories into my brain. I'm afraid I'll forget this stage, you know?
