Full time to Part time

I am playing with the idea of going from full time work to part

time. I read the posts here quite often and have picked up some

excellent money saving ideas. I know that this type of transition

will require quite a budget cut, but I want to make sure I cover all

my basis BEFORE I make a decision. I am a single Mom w/ 2 girls (12

& 7). I would probably be working during their school hours, which

will eliminate daycare expenses. I have medical through my employer

but I do qualify through the state (I would pay a portion of it). I

would love to have more time to spend with my girls. As well as not

being so tired after working a full day and then trying to accomplish

homework, showers, dinner, and MAYBE squeeze in some kid time, never

mind cleaning and laundry.

What things might I be overlooking? What should I consider? It’s a

big step that could turn into a big mistake if not handled right.

Thanks for any advice.
