(I'm not that picky, so this part shouldn't be that difficult) However, I don't have anybody to look out for my son but me. (He's 5) He has special needs (he's deaf) and can't just be cared for by any old person. I don't have the cash to just plop him in some special daycare or anything and the chance of me finding a job that has daycare is soooo far fetched that it might as well not even be an option. (Can you say, stuck?)

I joke about it, but that's only cause things have been good the last few days. However, it really is a very serious problem, and well, it could be detrimental to my health and happiness to not have this resolved soon. If you have any suggestions (anybody actually) by all means, let me know.

First thing i would ask you is: Are there any programs in your area that help with special needs(yeah, i don't like that term either) children? Most places nowadays have some sort of program available. Usually, there is assistance available for programs like that.. And at 5 he really should be getting into the education system!! Yes, i believe that you are teaching him well

Take him with, go see about the programs available, and if you qualify, get him hooked up!
Then bust your butt to find an 'at least' decent job. Knowing what the daycare/education schedule is ahead of time can give you the info on when you can work.
Don't tell prospective employers that you have a special needs son, they tend to roundfile your app. Even tho it IS illegal to do so. They start thinking "how much time will she miss cause of the kid" and, unfortunately, tend to base thier decision on that..
After you get settled in on the new schedule(s), and the money is coming in, Boot him to the curb!!!

I miss sign language.. Used to know it well as a kid cause my friends mom was deaf.. Now i just pick up every 3rd sign or so!! But it's still better than my spanish

Oh, and Mia had a good point too.. Medical transcribers do get to work from home.

Hope this helps.
