Multiple Mothers of Multiples

Oh mom, that what she is, our mommy is an OMOM because she belongs to the Owensboro Mothers of Multiples. That is a group of ladies united by the fact that they gave birth to more than one baby at a time. These are super moms who do twice and sometime three times the work of ordinary mothers. OMOMs is a support group that shares ideas and provides encouragement to these extraordinary woman. The group’s principle fundraiser is a rummage sale held twice a year. Patrons are charged $1 admission at the door with all proceeds going to the organization. Each mother gets to keep the money for those items of hers that sell. Because it’s the best baby item selection offered, people come in droves and carry out items by the armload. Our mommy was the co-chairlady for this sale and it did very well.
