Get your minds out of the gutter, you pervs. I was talking about her twins. Her twin boys. The point of this post is being the mother of multiples is kind of like dating. How, you ask? You want to know other mothers of multiples, you want to connect with them, so you can ask for advice, share your troubles and even just have someone at hand to whom you can vent when you children are acting like demons at the same time and you just don't know how you can go on.
I met this woman at the pediatric endocrinologist's (kiddo diabetes doctor) office. I spotted her immediately. There are three steps you go through when you see the doc, and she was a step ahead of me, so I knew we'd have at least 10 minutes to talk, but I wasn't sure how I'd be able to ask for her number. Then we started talking and we just clicked and then we got caught up in the back and forth and ins and outs of the doctor's steps, etc. and we missed the whole part where we asked for contact information.
I've done that at a bar. When I've met a great guy, gotten too drunk and forgotten to get his contact information. It's a bummer. That's what happened to me Monday. Not with a guy at a bar, but with this chick at the doc's office. I got home, and I was kicking myself. I actually liked this woman. She was nothing like me, but I LIKED her. She had six kids, and she looked fabulous. But she still dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt. She was what all of you babycenter type moms would call a crunchy mom. Totally not my type at all, but she was totally ok with me thinking what I thought and went with the flow of the conversation. I LOVE THAT.
The good thing about all of this is that she goes to the same doctor we do. So chances are we'll see her again. Usually you keep the same schedule, and it looked like it was one of her twins, who were a year and a half, that had diabetes, so he must have just been diagnosed. It's highly likely she'll be there next time we are. I'll be sending up little prayers that we'll run into her again. She was totally my kind of person. She had this energy that you don't see in many people. If not her, then please, God, send me someone else like her. She had the same kind of energy that my BFF forever and ever Josie has. And not many people have that. It's unique.
