What this whore does, when he's not whoring

I'm a sex worker and pretty happy about it, but I do have a life beyond sex work. I think that a lot of folks have the impression that life for a sex worker is just all sex, all the time. While this is certianly true of some of us, it is not true of all of us, or (I suspect) even a majority of us. So I thought that I would take a moment to describe my life outside of fucking for money.



Yesterday morning, I spent an hour in a meeting with my partner and the team in my six year old's new school, that deals with kids with special needs (my oldest and I both have severe ADHD). This was after something of a rush to get the baby and the new first grader ready to go. Talk about hectic, there had been some crossed wires and we had to get there an hour before we thought we did. But we made it ok (five minutes to spare) and the meeting went great. He starts tomorrow and over the next few weeks will be going through pretty extensive testing that we have been trying to get done for three years now.



I stopped home to get the kids ready and put to bed. Busier day than usual, so I got home later than usual and had to run off shortly after the kids were in bed. But I still got to have the time to snuggle the eldest and read for almost an hour, then we got to chat about his day. He had a pretty rough day, but made up for it by being an exceptional helper.

Then today, in between gigs, I was fielding calls from his new school to finalize tomorrows big day. This was after we had a bit of a row this morning. A rather rough start that turned into a good day - you never know how it's going to go. And now I am looking forward to a quiet evening at home, having had a decent day - though not as good as I would have preferred. I will play with the baby and the eldest. Then we will get them ready for bed and have some snuggle and reading time - maybe the baby will actually stay awake for it tonight. He really loves book time, but bed book time tends to find him falling out. But if he does, there's always morning.
