Now in a place where family is available and willing to help out and the older two are in a school near by I decided to start volunteering at their school library&#8230; one, to be involved in their school world and get a feel for the atmosphere they live out so much of their day in and two, to test the waters and see what it might feel like to work again.<\/p>\n<p>I loved volunteering, it felt right and very familiar and the children where adorable BUT I knew almost immediately that I am no career woman.  There was so much rush and restriction threw at me and my babies right away that I felt unhappy at the thought of doing this as a job.
