Are there any real work at home programs out there???

Yes there are some, but your looking at making about minimum wage. Is this sufficient amount of income for you? If so, I can give you a web site where you can apply for a home job. If your married, your paycheck is going to go into their gas tank, as well as in yours for basic things that you still will need to drive around for like grocery shopping and a variety of different things. But if this is all you need to make, I can give you a web site.
If you really want to work from home, and want to make a sufficient amount of income, then I suggest you get involved in a own home based business. There are many different kinds of home based businesses to get involved in like Child Daycare Centers, Catering, Telecommunications, Candle Making, Travel, Health etc. Most home based business cost under $500 to start. Depending on what you want to get involved in doing. Home based businesses have the same income opportunity as a tradition store front business like a shoe store, Subway etc, but you don't have all the over head expenses as you do with traditional businesses. Just about everything in your home, becomes a tax write off. Like your phone, computer (if you have one) car expenses, some food, utilities etc. Things that you use on a daily bases all become tax write off's.
When you first start in a business, understand that you don't make money off the bat.. You have to build it up. No matter what business you get involved in. The more effort you put into it and how hard your willing to work it, the faster you start making a sufficient amount of income. If you calculate the amount of hours you put into a regular job or a home "job" and the little you get paid, you would be better off getting involved in a simple home based business, rather than getting involved in a low paying job. Because you can make a lot more money and have more advantages then just a home job!
In home based businesses, depending on which one you get involved in, it usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks to start making an average income. (about the same time frame as your first payroll period) Then as you keep working your business, 4 to 6 weeks to increase that income, and 3 to 6 months to be self sufficient. That is if you put the time and effort into it, and do what's needed to get it off the ground.
Most people have full time jobs and run their business on the side. When their business reaches the income level they want, they put their normal jobs down and continue with their business growing. Some people don't have another job for different reasons, they just dive into and build their business. I suggest you keep your day job, if you have one, until your business reaches the income level you want.
I don't know what you enjoy doing, hobbies, interests etc, so I'm not sure which home based business to refer you over to. One example of a home based business is what my wife and I have been involved in for over six years now. The business we chose to get involved in was more practical to us and something people used on a daily bases and wouldn't know what they would do without. We didn't have to worry about when money runs tight for them that they'd run to the nearest store and buy the items on sale, or have to cut back expenses and drop what I was providing some sort of service to make ends meet for them. We got involved in the Telecommunications industry.
The company we partnered up with is now a 15 year old world wide company. They are the largest direct selling Telecommunications service provider in the world. They have been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 also rated us the 22nd fastest growing company in our first five years. The headquarters are in Farmington Hills Michigan, Carolina, Canada, Europe, Australia. So it's a pretty good sized organization to be involved in.
We offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway. Services like Local and Long distance telephone services, Internet, digital, video, VOIP, Satellite TV, and all the major cellular phone providers like Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Nextell, Alltel etc. as well.
How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services? That's another reason why we chose this business because everyone uses one or more. It's a product and service that's in high demand and always will be for both men and women.
So that's one example, there are plenty of other options as well.
