Okay... so I take my boys on vacation with my bf.

And according to my bf, there are three distinct Corri modes:

1) Corri mode

2) Mom-mode Corri

3) Mom-mode Corri on Vacation

Corri mode is Who I Am, you know, just me... and there's lots of touching, hugging, kissing, and lots of... etc., just naturally.

Mom-mode Corri is Who I Am at Home, with my kids and my bf is also there. Touching and hugging is more 'timed,' based on where the kids are in the house, kwis? I mean, we kiss and hug and hold hands in front on the kids, but certainly keep it G rated. The 'etc.,' is definitely limited. When there is only certain windows of time when we can 'etc.,' things aren't as natural, they are a little more... planned... and if we are wiped out, we cuddle and go to sleep.

Mom-mode Corri on Vacation... jesus christ, that is work. And I wouldn't even call it a vacation... I'd call it a trip I am taking with my bf and my kids. There is some hugging, a spattering of passionate kisses... some hand holding... we go morning til night...doing 'stuff.' Everyone needs something, wants something, can't find something, wants to know what we're doing next something... and they COMPETE for my attention. It's emotionally and physically draining, and when bed-time rolls around, and my kids are in the ajoining room with paper-thin walls... I can manage a lovely kiss good-night and some cuddling.

This is quite an eye-opening revelation for me... and it is very real... just wondering if any of you HD ladies ever go through this as well...
