Tootie, here's an idea for you...
Find a neighbor kid with a little time on his/her hands and the desire to earn some cash. Maybe in the age range of 12-14, a girl would probably be best. Have them come over after school every day for 2-4 hours to help out around the house and watch the kids. You're still around for any emergencies that may happen, but other than that I see no reason a 12-14 year old girl couldn't handle your kids unless they're complete hellions.
Have her keep the kids occupied, get them started on their homework, start dinner, tidy up the living room a little bit, and any other odd jobs you may need done around the house. Give her $20 a day. Even to a 12-14 year old, $20 for a couple hours work is great money. That's $100 extra a week in her pocket.
Now before you freak out about the $100 a week, think about it for a minute. It's MUCH cheaper than any day care. The kids are close so you know they're safe. Homework is started. The living area is moderately clean. And the basics of dinner have been started, all while you're at your computer completing orders.
Above you stated that your time is worth more than $8 per hour, which it is. So get somebody else in there helping while you make your $20 or whatever it is an hour.
Think about it.
