Being a stay at home dad.

As many of you know, I used to manage topless bars.  What you might not know is that I mainly worked in the redneck/barrio/rougher low end ones.  Oddly enough, there is more money and less drama in them than the "upscale" ones.  Rougher as in I used to carry two guns, my Glock 17 and my back-up was a Steyr.  They were both in level 0 holsters; for those that don't know, a level 0 means that gravity and some friction are holding the pistol in place.  But, they are fast and that's what I wanted.  In all my time in the clubs I almost drew on someone once.  I was taught that you don't draw unless you're willing to shoot and don't shoot unless you're willing to kill.  Anyone that draws and just waves it around is a bit of an idiot.  I even have a variety of club t-shirts because sometimes blood would get on my work shirt and I needed a replacement.  All that being said, this whole being a stay at home dad (sahd) is so much harder.

I'm getting better though.  Shopping today, various errands, cleaning, cooked dinner (entree and a side), even figured out a preliminary menu for the rest of the week.  It's taken me awhile but I'm finally starting to figure it all out.

Some times I miss the simplicity of working in clubs.  There the only thing I had to worry about was some crackhead trying to stab me.  Now, that seems like the "good old days".  I know it's not; but damn, this is a freaking crapload of work.  I can't wait to go back to work.
