In Mom Mode

I have several modes.

Mom mode.
Wife mode.
Teacher.
Massage Student
Massage therapist
House fixer/painter
Cleaner of house
Dog parent
Friend.
Daughter/sister/cousin

I have trouble switching between them.  When going between one and the next, I have to pause a second, take a breath, and mentally switch hats.  Or shoes.  Or whatevers.  I don't like that I am so non-integrated, but I simply can't do it.  At least not right now.

Oh, I empathize with this so much. I have Mom-mode and Writer-mode, and even when I'm telling my son stories, those two modes never, ever intersect.
