Today is the first real weekend of having my oldest and trying to be single at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had several weekends when its just him and I, since his father has decided NOT to take custody of him. But this is the first weekend where I’m going to utilize my “sitters” and try to have an evening or two to play.
Not that big a deal really, except my oldest might wonder WHY I’ve made arrangements for him to sleep elsewhere for Friday night. And I’m wondering just what to tell him.
Normally I’d tell him the truth. I’ve done very little lying to my kids. Yes I’ve done the occasional “Santa” fib and joked with them the exaggerated statement or two, but I’ve tried to be as truthful as possible. Probably a lot of TMI to THEM but hey, you got the Mom you got. Deal.
But truth is NOT going to be possible this weekend. Muahaha 😉 Yet my inquisitive, good/right/proper-obsessed 14 year old WILL ask where I’m going and what I’m doing. And I’ve got to think of what I want to say.
Now if he were over 18 I’d tell him I was going out on a date. Which I could do NOW except he believes my Sex God is the only man I will, should, am dating. And he will have REAL issues if he thinks I’m actually doing anything his father has been telling him I’m doing. (Which I have no “real” idea what he might be saying.. although the kids tells me he tells them I go disco dancing. Yup, disco dancing. That’s all he could come up with. Instead of saying, “I have no idea.”)
So I thought I might tell him I’m going OUT with girlfriends… except I’m dropping him off at my best girlfriends house so he might wonder.
Ah… but maybe I can just tell him I’m going OUT with Sex God & spending the night at his place. Since the youngest was just there (blog that later) he can testify that it is really TOO small to bring a kid along.
That just might do it.
