I would make sure you are trying to get on the earliest flight the day you are travelling. That way, you hopefully have a few options during the day if you cannot get on a flight.

Also, I personally would not be trying to come back the day before I have to be at work... at least two days.

These days planes are fuller than ever.... and many stories of people not being able to get back for days.
