Maybe Cory and Conan will fight over me

I don't recall how it happened, whether I followed him first or he found me.  All I know is we shared our love. Yes, it's true. I shared love with a man other than my husband. A man I met over the internet. We Tweeted  expressed it openly and  DM'd it in private.  I told this man, I wanted to visit him and we could continue what we had started online and bring it into our real lives. I even made a video about the love we both share. I know, I know. I'm married. I have two kids. I live in a completely different state.  And yet I told this man I would meet him at a diner in New Jersey so we could both get us some...

Coffee.

Oh what a woman would not do to get a decent cup o'Joe. Maybe it borders on criminal, maybe it borders on the inappropriate, but Cory Booker, the Mayor of Newark, became my caffienated confidant. You see, I could tell Cory about my Java use knowing he was simpatico. Yes, I know, some people would consider it akin to a platonic  affair, disclosing my gold filtered unfiltered feelings to a man other than my own husband, but I don't see it that way at all. My husband has no interest in coffee. Nay, he spurns it.   Do I sneak out of the house to fulfill my needs? No. Absolutely not! I grind at home. Right in the kitchen. In front of G-d and everyone. There is nothing tawdry going on and my 19  year marriage is still a strong brew.

When you think of young twins, you might think of double blessings, double strollers and double adorable trouble. In the early days, you might outfit your twins in matching or coordinating ensembles. You might dress them in onesies with cute little sayings such as Twin A/Twin B or Copy/Paste. You might push them about town in a Snap n Go stroller while strangers coo, "Oh, look at that, twins!"

Life is an exhausting sweetness.

When your multiples club hosts a kindergarten readiness seminar, the talk turns to the issue of whether or not to place twins in separate classrooms when they enter kindergarten. Most of the parents in attendance shake their heads at the idea. Kindergarten seems worlds away when you're still dealing with potty training and shopping around for preschools. No, you say, I can't see the need to separate my children, but I will deal with it when the time comes.

As your twins grow into preschoolers, you might notice your twins developing divergent interests and separate groups of friends. You might notice your look-alike identical twins growing weary of the constant question, "Which one are you again?" Or maybe you might notice your twins sticking together like glue, moving through life as a pair.
