Forever in Blue Jeans

Heard this song (kitschy but also catchy and oh so classic!) this morning:

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans, babe
And long as I can have you
Here with me I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

And then checked to see if I had ever used it. Doing so made me stumble across this post from when my daughter was turning 8 and another Neil song was playing -- today she turns 13!

One of the things I love about this blog is getting to revisit how I felt several years ago -- sometimes it's not pretty but it does help me see how I've grown. Five years ago, I couldn't stand the thought of my kids growing up. I was desperate to have another baby to prolong the kid years and have the do-over that I was feeling like I needed because the of the way my life turned out.

Today I am happy to say that I am celebrating, along with my daughter, this milestone of becoming a teenager, with no regrets...
