How to persuade spouse you must go to a meet?

I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts? I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.

    Fort Thanks for answering my questions. LOL. Not sure if I mentioned but I am 41. I hear ya on the family stuff. My oldest dd plays rep soccer and it seems to go on and on there is never really a break. The little one plays houseleague soccer and takes music she is an amazing vocalist. Then we have her RP committments to help raise money for research. I work full time and so does hubby. But it was hard to say I could not do the swimming anymore. The masters program I swim with offers 11 times a week and 5 am practices at 5:30. NO one in my house is up or cares what I am doing at that time so it is perfect. I was SO tired the first two weeks but it is much better now. There will be no running for me as I have really bad knees which is why I am swimming. I can use the eliptical machine though and I do , do weights. I think under the flab there is a pretty nice body LOL LOL Take care and let us know what happens. I am off to get the Turkey ready. It is our Canadian thanksgiving weekend and we are celebrating today Cheers Katie
