Woah

I found myself doing a little math over the weekend.

On Friday I went to meet with a woman who talked with me about a possible job. I really liked her and think, in many ways, she could be a fabulous boss and mentor for me as I walk through this next part of my life.

Here's where the math comes in. The job is full time and when I calculated the cost of having two children in daycare while I worked full time, I arrived at the shocking figure of $42,000 dollars per year. G.U.L.P.

Overall, I don't want to be working full time while we have young children and who knows if we'll have a second, but that is the general plan and it will likely happen sometime in the next year, otherwise my ovaries will be shrunken and gone. I have to make some calls to other daycare centers in towns we may move to, to see if their costs are any lower, but I'm guessing they aren't by a significant enough margin. Sooooooo, that pretty much puts that particular job in the 'no' category.
