At home, you would be distracted and not as productive. Depending on your line of work, alot of employers are starting to let people work from home. If you could do your job from home, try and negotiate with your employer. You should take a paycut, since you are also cutting your expenses by working from home. You no longer need the professional clothing or the gas for the commute. But if your children will be there, you won't get the proper amount of work done. Try switching your children to a sitter that can pick them up, or let them take the bus home from school and have the sitter there at the house, or take the bus to the sitters house. Look at what you are spending to work. Commute, clothes, daycare and simple meals that you wouldn't ordinarily have (like eating out more) because you work. You could take a paycut if you worked from home. But it sounds as if you don't have the discipline needed to do it (yet). You need a workplace free of distractions- and your home won't offer that until you realize that cleaning, dishes and kids are not part of the workplace.

You can get a lot of contract work on anything from Graphic Design, to research, to programming through oDesk: http://www.odesk.com/referrals/track/shaunasmith I love oDesk because of the amount and the quality of jobs posted there. People can easily make $40k there if they have specialized skills. I'd be happy to help you get set up using oDesk, and help you learn how to get your first few jobs if it looks like a good fit for you!! I'll share what I've learned (it took me about two months to secure my first job, but it's gotten considerably easier now that I have feedback).
