You know, honestly, I don't feel at your kidlet's age that this is such a good idea. I'm all for moms and dads being around. If it's one or two nights a week you'll be gone, I'd seriously think about it. However, if you're gone for days on end, I'm not so sure. I know people do it and things work out. Military folks do it for years on end, but... Unless you really want this particular job and it's paying fabulously huge amounts of money (and even then, I'd vote probably not), think about it and talk about it with husby very intensely.
You're such a bright talented woman that I doubt this will be the only job offer you'll have. And even if it is, write down the pros and cons before you make a decision. Is it okay with the family that you could very well miss Roz's birthdays and plays and ball games over the years? Keep in mind that I don't believe in daycare by anybody other than very close relatives, so I'm coming in prejudiced in the first place, if daycare is in the cards. But that's just me.
In the end, what you decide will be what you decide. Eh? *g*
