Ranting!

Hi...I had a long day yesterday taking the girls to the mall and it was nice to get out and shop but also stressful with all the lurkers and people that would get in their faces, scream at them, wake them up...oh my gosh! I can't imagine having triplets of more...the "freak show" factor would make me a hermit. I hate it when people get all up close to them, touch them, bug them, stop me...its not fair to me or especially to them. Its sort of like "what the hell? Haven't you ever seen two babies before?"...I doubt people stop everyone that has a singleton! Leave them alone! I don't want them to be faced with this their whole lives but I guess I better get acustomed to it, as much as I hate to.

I am sort of reaching that point where I am done apologizing for my behavior. I am done with not being that "perfect" and sweet person all the time and done with not being on my best behavior when I have the twins out. I was FOLLOWED (I am not kidding) by a lady yesterday that thought she "knew" the girls because she had seen their portraits on a website. FOLLOWED!!!! I had a crowd around them in the shoe department while they were trying to sleep gawking at them, talking to them, etc...hello? They are sleeping! Leave us alone! I just took the stroller and walked away and kept my back to people while they CONTINUED to talk to us and follow us. WHAT THE HECK?

To top it off, I ran into a friend and was a total bitch to her because the girls were having a meltdown, they had just been accosted by some random people, they were exhausted, I was tired and stressed and our cell phone was ringing. I hate being rude to people but more than that, I hate it when people don't understand. I hate it when people think I should just be cheery and go with the flow...well, you can't just "go with the flow" when you have twins or more. There is a routine. There is a schedule. They were preemies and have not been out very much...just let us be. Let me be bitchy and cranky and let them enjoy getting out of the house.

I am not kidding- one lady JUMPED in front of the stroller and SCREAMED (I could hear her across the mall) in Spanish at the girls...she had them so terrified that they started wailing. Irgh!!!

Because I feel like this I think people get the wrong idea and think I don't like having twins or something. NOT TRUE! I looooooove having my girls and can't imagine what I would do with only one baby. I looove having twins. I love my babies. I think I am a better mom for it. I just wish people would give us a break and leave us alone!
