Default Question about going back to work after being a stay-at-home mom for 14 years.?

I have been a stay at home mom for 14 years. I worked until my oldest son was 3. He is now 17. I have 4 kids, and being home for them is important to me. With the economy the way it is, I need to find part time employment. I do have skills, but a terrible resume. I am very knowledgeable in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the internet. I can type approx. 45 wpm. I used to work as an office assistant in Accounting. I can file, make copies, fax documents, answer phones, make collections calls, etc. All aspects of office work, but I am very insecure. I need to find out if there are classes to help with my situation. After being out of the work force for so long, I feel very insecure. I freeze up in interviews. I really need some advice on what I should do. Please pass on some helpful information. Thanks for your help!
