I assume you have a Bachelors degree from the college of education.
Have you considered going to school for a couple of semesters and getting a different degree or even a Master's?
If you stay within the same college for a different degree you would only have to take a few core classes for a second bachelors degree and if you went for a Master's you still would only have those core classes too.
You could teach at a junior college level with full tenure and pay/benefits. You could teach anything you wanted to or had an interest in. I imagine any Master's degree would accept you into their program but they may still require you to take some undergrad classes.
For instance, when I was a student at Oklahoma State University I was working on a BA in psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences. I considered changing my major to Family Relations and Child Development but it was a degree through the College of Home Ec, now called College of Human Sciences I think.
IF I had switched to a different college I would have had to take all their general ed requirements such as different math requirements and foreign language plus all the core classes for that degree.
My father in law retired from the military and got his bachelors degree from the college of education at MO state university. When he came to Oklahoma and got his Master's in Special Education he had to take 5-6 undergrad classes because Oklahoma required certain classes to be allowed to teach in their schools. Silly rules huh?
So going to school would get you out of the house a few hours per day and it would also give you some good mental stimulation.
I hate staying at home too. I can't work full time so I do stuff out of my home and I do some outside jobs but they are very few hours per week.
If you really want to go back to work full time right now then perhaps you can find something to do in retail. Many companies are hiring seasonal employees. This can give you a bit of work history to put on an application. It would also give you a dip in the work force with your toes...so to speak.
You could see how you feel after working again and see how kiddo's adjust to child care. It could be a trial run.
