I Need a Theme Song

Stolen directly from my sister in law, Jen's Facebook status... One of her friends called her supermom for cooking, facebooking and parenting all at the same time.

One friend mentioned she needed a cape, which if you've seen 'The Inredibles' know that may end badly. Capes get caught in fans and trees, you get the drift...not a good idea.

Next, a friend said, ''I've always wanted a theme song when I enter a room.''

How fun would that be! Of course, you would need to be able to change it depending on your mood and the day.

So I went hunting on the radio stations in the car looking for a theme song, just for this week. There are a bunch that resound with my soul right now.

This is one of many. Sometimes, I do miss it. So busy was I checking off the big boxes of life goals....

''You're going to Miss This'' - Trace Atkins

She was staring out that window, of that SUV
Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then 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 a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her It's a nice place
She says It'll do for now
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says Baby just slow down

'Cause 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'
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
You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this
