Hopefully I hear back soon since I'm on pins and needles, but I am trying to be OK with it if it doesn't work out too. Hoping I can find the inner serenity to accept things as they are mean to be!

If this were the case, then I *would* consider taking the job. Just changing my prior answer based on the new info.

Good luck!!! Fingers crossed over here for you...

Wow I would take it in a heartbeat.

Six figures in library science?? I was working on my MLS when I got pregnant with DS, and I dropped out. You've got me rethinking that decision.... What kind of job is this? What did you think of FSU's distance program? (I was in the Emporia State Univ SLIM program.)

[SAHDS]

What is "childcare"?

If you mean daycare or nanny, I wouldn't.

If that means close family member, I would.

OH! Just read your post about DH and you overlapping

Definitely, yes! It's great Daddy time!!!

That's what I was wondering, because I'm planning on getting on MLIS degree, myself (from the University of WA).

I would really love to know about this job!

Oh, and given the description, I would definitely take it.

Oh the MLS degree doesn't really affect things one way or another. I'm an intelligence analyst (well, was and may be again- I'm currently a SAHM). The reason the field pays so well is because of the high-level security clearance and specialized training such as in the military.

Still no phone call today. :-( I'm trying not to be totally wound-up over it. Ugh.

[Izzy's Mom]

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for you at this time - good luck!! I'd do it a heartbeat!

[twilight girl]

Absolutely.

I hope you hear good news from them! It sounds like it will work out for your family.

In my case, I left a job that had very flexible hours and no summers at all. I had about a 45 minute commute each way. It was a great job in so many ways. But the commute was really hard on me and I hated being away from my kids (even tho' my DH also has a flexible job). I wanted to be at home, so no amount of money then would have worked for me.

Now my kids are school age, and I have a part time job 3 minutes from home. I will never commute again. Ugh.

[PrettyBird]

I definitely would! Well in my situation (DH in the military) it wouldn't work out, but if I was in your shoes I would.

[bellacymom]

I probably would. Depending on if I was happy there.

[crazycandigirl]

We are so tight on money that I probably would have to take a job like that if it fell into my lap. Then again it would most likely be a very temporary solution for us. I am afraid that I would just fall to pieces under the strain of a full time job. I hate leaving my little pumpkins, but the idea of having enough money to pay the all the bills on time is a huge one (in fact that kind of money could pay of our house in a little over a year!) . I would have to see I guess. But i really doubt that kind of offer is really going to happen with me

It sounds like the perfect solution for your family though, I hope that you hear back on it soon!
