Craig got his formal offer from the new company on Wed. It is the same exact base salary, the bonus opportunities are a little better but the health care benefits and coverage are worse. Craig will be paying over a 100$ more a month to insure the family. And to top it off the paid days off are less than with Exilixis. Sigh. We are thankful that he has a job still but it is a little disheartening.
It seems like the good Lord just doesn't want me to continue my full time stay at home parent status. Bummer. We are not willing to put the kids into childcare so I will be looking for a part time waiting (restaurant) job come January. I will work 3-4 shifts opposite of Craig's lab job and he will be able to quit Widmer. I will continue to watch Sterling part time as well. Reagan is going to protest this change more than anyone because she is use to nursing before bed and will not take a bottle. She will have to deal. Either she learns to take the bottle or she is going to be hungry until I get home.
We continue to pray that Craig has room for growth with Dow Agroscience. Or that another opportunity presents itself. It can be hard to keep the faith sometimes, but we sure feel blessed with all that we have, especially our amazing kids.
