MN - I think it sounds like an excellent plan.

I might be a SAHM for the summer too - just let work know I won't be renewing my contract - how long they will want me to work who knows but is up on 28th November anyway - and I will pull CJ out of daycare to save money - DS will probably just drop a day till Feb.

I will probably be back on here whinging about having no job in a few months - but there is more to life and this one hardly paid anything anyway so without any enjoyment very little point to it. I will sleep well tonight having made a decision I think.

OP - that sounds a pain, I know I would prefer a full day at home instead of the spread - but I know often managers don't just because they aren't organised enough to not want you at their beck and call at some point on several days. Fingers crossed it works out ok for you.
