Public Service Announcement on Behalf of All Mom's of Multiples

I may look like a sideshow when I am out and about with my Cadillac stroller and two cooing babies.  I may even bump into a thing or two because store managers do not think about us Moms that have to maneuver a double stroller in the store when they set up all of those racks of clothes.  Sometimes I may look like I just rolled out of bed but I promise that is far from the truth.  In fact I've probably been up since dawn but haven't had a second to take care of myself.  So when I am walking through the store please don't follow me from aisle to aisle chatting about how hard it was to take care of your three year old and newborn.  I promise it's not like having twins.  Please don't touch my children on the face, hair, or even foot.  Please don't point out to me that I must be tired.  Please don't ask if I had fertility treatments or if twins run in my family.  That's personal. 

What you don't know is that I run in a very tight time frame.  My life is in three hour cycles between feedings and it is a production to get these two out of the house.  So by the time I get in the car I probably have an hour and half to get things done.  You are taking up my precious time trying to stop me to look at my children.  Yes I know they are adorable.  I get to look at them every minute of every day.  And I promise they are not identical.  Even though they look alike they are a BOY and a GIRL therefore it is impossible for them to be IDENTICAL.  So when you see a mom of multiples out and about if she looks like she is on a mission, she is.  Either leave her alone or a quick comment will do.  Believe me, when we got pregnant with multiples we had no idea it came with celebrity status.

The more you know :)
