Working at home isn't working out

Well I've been trying to do this for several months. It doesn't seem to be working out. I'm not making any money, and we are getting more behind on bills. I'm not giving up though.
We have to go out of town for a funeral. Either while we are gone or as soon as we get back I'm doing a application for a new job. I'm also checking on a job outside of the home, if only temporary. I have to get our bills caught up.
I hope if I have to go to work out of the home, I will be able to save a little to take a transcription course. Maybe I could get a transcription job and do that from home.
Pray that I find something soon. With the economy the way it is, work is hard to come by.
