Want to see OM, but Kids?

I'm going out of town all next week and OM and I really want to see each other. My H works evenings so that's not the problem but the two kids. I thought about leaving my d with a cousin she loves to be with but my 10 year old is the one that asks questions. Although, he did say he wanted to go over to a friend's. But he easily changes his mind.

How can I not make it look so obvious to him? Give me some ideas. Please, please, please!

You might tell him that you don't think he can go...you were planning on cleaning out his closet that night.

Make him sweat it with a little reverse psychology, then be the gracious,loving mother that you are and let him visit with his friend instead.

Great idea! You know he did go with his friend afterall and I did get to see my OM. It was great allthough it was only for about 45minutes, it was the greatest 45 minutes ever.

I guess as time passes it'll be easier to find ways to see him.

Anyways, thanks for the reply.
