It hurts

Something that makes me a little odd: When I am tired and my kids skin touches my skin ... it physically hurts. I don't think it's because we share the same genes because my mom, dad, brother and sister can all touch me when I am beyond tired and it doesn't set my skin into a frenzy.
If anyone can give me any insights as to why it literally makes me want to tear off my skin when my kids touch me when I'm tired ... let me know.

I don't know for sure but if I were to hazard a guess, maybe its because you are so close to your kids physically, and emotionally that sometimes, especially when you're really tired and at the end of you rope you subconsiously(I have no idea how to spell that word this morning, its early 5am) you just need to get away from them and so thats what your body is telling you. Just a theory.

Okay, that is so me...just ask Ben when I'm tired and he's in the mood...it feels like knives are attached to his fingers. WEIRD! I HATE being touched when I"m tired, it does actually hurt. IT's like my skin is hyper sensitive. I was like that a lot when I was preggers....could it be....?!? Kidding. Seriously Kidding.
