Monday's: The First Day of my Search

Since the beginning of the process to have Gigi, I knew that I wanted to stay home with her.  I saw my role as a stay at home Dad very clearly; roaming the city with my little lady, teaching her everything she needed for a full life while creating new recipes and defining what this life should look like for all guys.  It was the penultimate goal in a city where you are defined by what you do, I would step away and be a Dad.  Sixteen months later things look very different.  I am thrilled that Gigi has thrived under my care. That we've had this time to bond and develop a major relationship, one that I believe is partially defined by my ability to be with her full time.  That all being said, I am not sure I am defined by anything or if what I am defined as is what I want.  I am feeling a little half full these days and for some time now.  I started a job hunt but abandoned it in the midst of a gorgeous summer; now we are in September, quickly approaching October.  So, the time has come for me to buckle down and find a life... well, expand the life I lead.  The question is; Do I go back to a full-time job or do I take this golden moment and create something I can build while still being available to my little lady.  Monday mornings bring so many questions I could fill the whole page (whatever that means on a blog).  I'll be working on it solidly now; that is after I go to the gym... Dada's gotta work on his fitness.
