It just seems like you could easily say..
"THanks for the offer. Let me sleep on it a couple of nights and I'll give you a call on Thursday(?) and discuss what's next"
Waiting two days is not a big deal, unless you make it a big deal. Make the abocve statement in a casual, matter-of-fact way... and it's a non-issue.
kurtzie and timg have it right. you have to mentally expect to leave you r current job, and be willing to do so. For all you know, your boss may not be able to make a counter offer.
