Continue to work (I was the sole provider at the time) having my husband
Come in and out of our lives was really hard...

He eventually did, THANK GOD!!
-2004 I was arrested and convicted of felony welfare fraud(childcare)
I had failed to let CCRC(childcare resource center) know of the times that
My husband was back in the home. I'm on probation for 5 yrs (2010) I
Should off probation... unfortunately in that same yr my green card expired.

You obtained your green card through family member which means you don't have to depend on anyone but yourself. You must apply for renewal of your green card 90 days before expiration date. The fact that you're convicted may trigger removal order, but you may be fine if do it right. You do need a good immigration attorney to file a waiver with your renewal...
