"we don't have the extra money for groceries(the refrigerator is completely empty)"

oh Alicia I am so sorry!!! Trust me... I have been there and I know what you are going through.
I put Natalie to bed hungry once (before we had Hannah & Brayden) because we had no food, and I swore I would never do it again. I tried not to let her see me cry as I tucked her in and told her "I'm sorry baby... I don't have anything to give you" (as she kept saying she was hungry).
I learned from that moment that my babies come first... who gives a crap if the electricity payment is late... my kids will never be hungry like that again.
I don't have any advice on working from home, but please if you haven't already, look into food stamps & WIC. If you have cable or satellite, disconnect it temporarily to cut corners. Cut down on electricity by keeping all the lights off during the day and turning the thermostat up in the summer and down in the winter (wear cooler/warmer clothes).
((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

I have no suggestions, other then maybe being a mystery shopper. You can take your kids with you and they are great for being undercover

I am in kind of the same boat as you, but fortunately, my DH has always told me "we buy groceries first, everything else after."
