It's frustrating, I agree. There's always that feeling of guilt you're describing with twins, but from your post it sounds like you are doing a great job.
No, it's not ideal as you imagine it might be with only one baby, but I believe (hope) they sense that you are doing your best and that you care for both of them (even when they're cranky, crying, etc.)
I agree with the previous poster . . . nursing simultaneously, staying on the floor a lot and having our mattress on the floor really helped me be near both of them at the same time. Once they are more mobile it gets a better, b/c they can come to you to have their needs met a little, and can hang on better for group hugs
