Decisions and Deadlines

As I've mentioned, I was a journalism major in college. After graduation I had a job in my field, worked freelance for a while, then went back to working for a big company. After I had my children, I stepped off the career ladder as many women do.

Now, I've been off the ladder for 10 years. There's no way I'm getting back on the same ladder that I was on pre-children. My last job I held pre-kids was awesome. I enjoyed the work, I enjoyed the people, and it was really rewarding. But, times have changed. That deadline-driven job wouldn't work in my current life, which is driven by kid schedules and family responsibilities.

The job I have now is flexible so I can get to the kid activities at school occasionally, or even work from home if I have a sick kid. But, it's not my passion. Now that my kids are all in school I'd like to find the job I that will allow me to feel fulfilled in my working life again.

What should I do? What is that job? What's next for me?
