Aaron started working at HSBC (the bank) back in November of last year. We were excited about him working there because they had great benefits and it was a steady paycheck - not an easy find in this economy. Life slowly got harder while he was working there because his schedule changed and it did not allow for him to be home with us very much. He was working Friday-Tuesday from 11:30am-8:05pm in Salinas. So I was home alone with Aaden on most evenings and all weekend long. And Aaron and I didn't have any time off together - which meant no weekend trips to visit friends, housework was hard to keep up with and no time just to hang out together as a family. It was tough. Aaron missed out on Aaden's first Christmas, first Easter, my first Mother's Day and his first Father's Day. It was really crappy to see him leave on those days when he should have been spending the day with us. I was up in arms when they denied his time off for Aaden's First Birthday Party.
So - we decided that he should leave HSBC. He has gone back to substitute teaching and is also taking over Alec and Nicole's tutoring business since they are in Korea. He will be home in the evenings and on the weekends and most importantly, holidays! And he will probably make more money doing this than he did at the bank. It is very exciting - although I'm afraid we'll get sick of each other after the first week ;)
