This is a female Wolf Spider in the family Lycosidae. Females have curled hairs on their abdomens which help the young to hang on as she moves around.
Thank you for the fast reply. This spider was the talk of the day yesterday. After playing show and tell, I took her outside to the woods out back of our business. We get quite a few spiders in our building, not sure why they come in. But this was the first with baby spiders.
