I second that you should write you own book on scrapbooking! :) I'm going to say this because no one else has...it's really tough to enter the job market after you have been a SAHM for years. I went back to work after being home for almost 4 years and it wasn't easy to find a job. Ironically, I ended up having a job where I interviewed and hired people for our department. Lots of good advice has already been written here. It may take a little time but I honestly think there is a job out there waiting for you.

I've been super sick, so I was in bed watching TV, and on this show called Yummy Mummy, they had a lady with your exact thing: she isa mom to 2 kids, and after staying home with them for 3 years, she wanted to return to work. They had her note her 3 year absence as the second item on her resume, followed by her job history, I think. Can't remember the first item. They said the interview was huge, not so much what you say, but YOUR BODY LANGUAGE, and THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE! It should go up and down, indicating your enthusiam and interest. I think that is a new show on the Health Cahnnel. I'm sure you'll have sucess real soon!

When Michael was trying to find a job here in Huntsville it was so hard because he specializes in a certain kind of computer programming and when we least expected it, a job opened up and it happened so fast! I know that someone is going to snatch you right up soon! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers regarding that and send good job vibes your way! Love that LO, by the way! You are just so talented, girl! I don't see why you aren't making mucho dinero in the scrapbooking industry! You need to write a book or something!! Oh wait, that doesn't help with health benefits and all of that, but it still would ROCK! Ok, I'll stop rambling now, sorry!

I'm in a "I don't even know what I would want to interview for" place, so I can empathize. I work in a Career Center at the moment (ironically) and I think that you've gotten good advice.
