Six Week Wait

Two weeks ago was the magic "six weeks" since our newest addition, and as anyone whose had kids knows, "6" is a magic number. My wife and I actually found someone to watch all three kids so we could have a "date". I love the fact that married adults have to have "dates". I also like the fact that whoever watches your kids on the "six week date" totally knows that you basically need the date so you can fuck one another. And make no mistake, it is fucking. The emotional bond after something as huge as having a baby is well established, as is the closeness. In fact you may never be closer. The first time after though, for us anyway, is "we both despretly need to get some."

The date was great too. A few hours without children, even better, a meal without children! Louis C.K. has a bit about the peace you get as a parent when you load the kids in the car and shut the door. He says the walk to the driver's door is like a "cruise". Its totally true. A meal without kids? That's a month on a desert island.

Kids tired from the day? Straight to bed, which is where we headed as well. Post baby-wait sex is a special kind of sex, like make up sex. I couldn't wait to go down on my wife, to be inside her. And she apperantly had been depsretly wanting to give me a blow job, which was so enthusiastic I almost stood and clapped afterwards. There was no breaking out of the vibrator or magic bullet, it was just us, and it was amazing.

And it was two weeks ago. After we had our first two kids, we became aware sex was mostly a weekend thing, but adding a new baby makes it a "whenever thing". Children totally disrupt the space time continuom. You wake up, the kid gets up, all of a sudden six hours go by and you don't remember the day. Looking forward to this weekend....

Listening to : Stone Temple Pilots : self-titled. Yes I'm having a '90's flashback and listening to the new STP album. reunions like this and Soundgarden make me feel old. Still, its good stuff, the Aerosmith meets Bowie STP of old.
