Working From Home

I wish I could work from home more...well, I could, but then it would probably just be overtime and not "away from the office" time.
I need a career that lets me do my work at home and rarely (if ever) set foot in an office.  I like being able to wear cruddy clothes while I work, pet the dog, spill food on myself, have the news on, run a load of laundry or dishes, not have to use a public restroom, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
The job I have right now could almost be done from home.  I really would only have to be in the office twice a week - Mondays and either Thursday or Friday.  That sounds nice, too, but I don't expect that to be approved any time soon...especially since I might be switching supervisors in the not too distant future.
Questions of who is better suited to be in charge of me and my spoons in several pots have come up and are being discussed.  How would a boss in Colorado know whether I'm working at home or in the office downtown?  Only if he had spies.   But, I was raised to be a better person than that (darn it!).
*sigh*
I suppose I will have to become rich and famous somehow so I can do whatever I want - like work from home.
