How about - "Hey. here's the kids, I've gotta run out for a bit"
Then go out, get a drink, or read a book, or hang out in a diner, or visit a friend. Be dressed up nice as you go. Don't come back until 2 a.m. Just let her wonder and turn her fantasy of everything being fine with Plan B on its head.
AWESOME IDEA!!!!!
LOL! You win the prize for helping laugh out loud today :-)
I do plan to look my best (for a "many errands to run" day) when she gets home... And I will be sure to let her know that everything was fine while she was gone. No, we did not all fall apart without her gone... and I'm not completely exhausted from taking care of all three kids on my own for 10 days in a row. I will NOT look tired or act tired or stressed out at all. :-)
