Much Needed Adult Contact

THANK YOU AMY!!!!

I should just leave this post as that.  I never realized how much freedom one gets from driving. That is until is taken away from you.  The fact that I can't drive for another week or so frustrates me to no end.  Tuesday night Aaron had to go get me dinner, and tonight Amy got me dinner. I'm a driver, not a passenger.  I prefer to drive, just do. Plain and simple.  I should put a countdown to when I can drive. LOL

Okay, back to my topic of this post.  ADULT CONTACT!  It's not like I haven't been around adults, because last time I checked, Clint is an adult, but not being able to leave the house has limited who I come in contact with.  I'm actually jealous of Clint right now because he had class Tuesday night, and tonight is his weekly gaming night with some fellows in KC.  I know how important it is to be able to have someone that you can relax with after spending the day with a fussy newborn.  Tonight, Amy was my savior.  She came over between 6 and 6:30, we ordered dinner, tried to watch a movie, got side-tracked by talking, and before we knew it, it was after 10.  Oh man, did I need that.  Of course I was taking care of Dade during that time frame too, but being able to be a girl and giggle and laugh, and what not helped out a lot.  I was feeling extremely stressed out and tired after last night, and slightly sad that Clint was going to be gone again tonight, that having her come over was the best prescription that anyone could have given me.

I'm going to be going to Knob tomorrow afternoon.  My dad is picking up myself and Dade after he gets done with school.  Clint's nephew is in the Mr. Panther Contest tomorrow night, so I really want to see that.  Again it will give me time out of the house (otherwise known as my prison), and a little bit of a baby break.  Since I'll be with Clint's family, they'll want to hold him and what not.  That's a good thing about having family so close.  They all want to hold him, snuggle him, etc. . . Saturday night we have a Krause Cousin thing at his brother's house.  I'm really looking forward to that because it's been awhile since we've been able to attend a Cousin gathering.  They are always so much fun!

I really badly want to get a new digital camera.  My parents got a new one, and it's amazing.  Now, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the one that we have.  It works just great.  But, it's several years old, and the picture quality just isn't what I would like.  It was great when we were taking pictures of Slinky, or ourselves and our friends. But I want my pictures of Dadey Baby to be amazing.  After using mom and dad's camera all weekend, and Amy's while we were in the hospital (b/c we couldn't find ours), my pictures look crappy. Amy had a good idea.  She said to take my SLR Nikon that I have to a pawn shop and see what I could get for it, as well as the digital that I currently have.  I love my SLR but I don't use it very often because let's face it, who wants to use actual film and wait until it developed to see what the picture looks like.  It's all about instant gratification right!

I know that I should be tired.  I'm literally running off of like 4 hours of sleep if that, but after having Ames here I'm wide awake.  This could be a bad thing, since I'm wide awake now and Dade's sleeping.  For some reason I can't seem to sleep when he sleeps.  I tend to use that time to get stuff around the house done.  Towels, washing bottles, etc. . .

My back started bothering me tonight.  I had not taken any of my pain meds today.  Was trying to get myself off them.  But then my back start spazzing and I had to pass Dade to Amy because it hurt to hold him.  I took my pain meds and within 30 minutes I felt much better.  It sucks because I'll be feeling fine one minute and then something will hurt the next.  Amy said I'm doing to much, and she's not the only one to tell me that.  I'm sure that I am, but I'm not the type of person to just sit around and do nothing. I know what my doctors told me, what the birth class teacher told me, but I can't do it.  I don't like letting people do things for me, when I know that I can do them.  I get that from my grandfather!

Oh bottle making time!
