**Adding this:
Another way to make income from home is to babysit. That is what I did, before I had my 2nd child. There is always a need for babysitters.
I totally understand your feelings.
Here is a work from home opportunity, not a "sales" thing but from the About.com website which is a well known information/search site and a "real" corporation.
Here is the link:
http://beaguide.about.com/ (this is for the "be a guide" job)
http://jobs.about.com/ (this is for company information).
The other opportunity, is to become a "Cha Cha Guide".
Here is the link:

Perhaps doing both of these things, can bring in more income for yourself... AND the good thing about it is it is not some work from home "sales" thing were you have to buy your supplies/inventory nor, have home parties. This is about working FOR a real corporation/company, and getting residual income from it.
Hope this helps, I wish you all the best,
