LOL I'm not sure exactly. Could you do it when your kids are with their Mom? My kids spend every other week with their Dad so I do my socializing and volunteering when they are with him. When my kids are with me, they are my priority.
I am sure the nursing home would love it if you volunteered there. So many of those people don't have hardly any visitors, or if at all. There are some residents like that at the place I volunteer, and it makes their day when someone comes to visit. Everyone needs company now and then Imagine the stories that you could be told!
It's funny, when I started working for the non profit it was because I was going through a divorce with my 1st ex h and I needed something to do when my kids were at their Dad's and I was lonely. It ended up being a life changing experience for me. It taught me compassion, appreciating diversity, and most of all, that I am blessed more than I realize.
I hope it does the same for you.
