"OH MY GOSH I don't know how you do it!!"

Neither dooooo IIIIIIIIII......

So there are like 417 million things that I am sick of hearing people say.  Who doesn't LOVE a good backhanded compliment?! 

Let's begin with the obvious "well that was rude" statement:  "Three kids under two, that must be awful".  And when they say awful I autocorrect it in my head to "awfully wonderful" just so I don't have to sit through trial for aggravated assault.  My children are my blessings.  They are not awful.  Challenging?  Absolutely.  But awful?  So is your outfit.

Then there's the "I wouldn't have had three so close together".  Well here's the thing about my reproductive system:  I keep sending it texts to let it know that I'd like to ovulate one egg at a time and really if I could just do that once a year on the years that I'd like to have a baby, I think we could stay friends.  But there it goes every month, doing whatever it wants to do!  I'm not sure I had MUCH control over the whole twins thing.  Sort of like I have no control over the nonsense coming out of your mouth.

"You poor thing" "did you have your tubes tied" "so I guess you're done then" "how do you do it???"
I am rich in blessings, how are three healthy children a bad thing? Nope my TUBES are not TIED and really that's just kind of a gross thing to say... talking about my insides in public places and what not...buy me dinner first.  A woman once had 19 children if I recall correctly. Why assume I don't want my own TLC show?  And how does anyone do anything really?  Even Mac and Cheese comes with instructions....these babies forgot the manual. 

A challenge is presented to you.  You either step up or back down.  Some days SUCK.  I don't get a shower.  I can't form correct sentences.  And everyone is screaming.  Other days, I put together a whole outfit with accessories.  Write eloquent blog posts.  And there is peace....oh wait....nope....he's up. 

I'm just not sure why I rarely hear the following:  "I'm proud of you"  "You're doing a great job"  "3 beautiful babies??  congratulations!"  and also if my hair looks great one day, I expect a standing ovation. 

Now that's off my chest.... I have babies to attend to :)
