Flash forward to 2000, the heavens smiled upon me when my expectant tummy turned her smiling face on any form of coffee. Thankfully because my plan was to abandon her for 'the sake of the children.' It didn't take long after the Buck-A-Roos were born for me to find my friend, Grande Columbia with Cream again.
It was a different day back then. Ya'll moms just weren't in the Starbucks. Even in L.A. So here I was Southern Starbucks Mom and her Buck-A-Roos making my way to any and every Starbucks that was available at that time. It was tricky then, I was slip in order up my needed latte of the day or what have you. Then out would come the sippy cups with apple juice, and a great book or toy. I felt like I was slipping into a bar - well, I was. The best coffee bar there was. And it was worth every second it took me to wiggle my double stroller into the front door. Of course, there were plenty time when the many business men and women would lend me a hand and a knowing look - "we know what mom needs, too, to get through the day."
It was nice. They were really saying, "Even though you are carrying the latest diaper bag sans latest Apple Air Notebooks (oh those weren't there yet), are in your running shoes instead of high heels, we know it's all good for all of us!"
And that is how Starbucks Mom made it through the early days. The Buck-A-Roos are seven now and they open the door for Starbucks Mom, they grab their Organic Chocolate Milk, and the Uno Game and I hand them my custom made Starbucks Card that reads Starbucks Mom and Her Buck-A-Roos and life is good....
p.s. Custom Made Starbucks Cards are awesome. Go to: Starbucks.com and get you one!
