Officially Crossed the Line

We have become "those parents".
You know the ones that are sitting obliviously behind you in the restaurant booth, while their kid hangs over the top of the booth staring at you and body slamming the seat every 10 seconds. The ones that let their kids run all over the grocery and block the aisles. The ones that you wish would just leave and take their spawn with them!!
Yep, put our names down on the list.
Tonight was our Christmas Party at work and everyone wanted us to bring E along. This sounded like a good idea because Emily is usually all smiles.
Not so much today.
See she missed her afternoon nap because we picked her up from daycare early...'Lina needs her beauty rest. The child screamed bloody murder almost non-stop the entire time we were at the party. But, don't think an inconsolable baby would prompt us to leave the party in any hurried fashion.
Finally, after almost 3 hours of walking around, bribing with binkies and bottles and passing her around, we took the irate pumpkin home. She passed out less than 50 feet from the parking lot.
What's really bad, is that we contemplated going back for just a split second.
And the "Parents of the Year" award goes to...

I totally get it! It's hard when you are used to doing stuff solo and then we become parents and still want to do STUFF:) I often wonder how my mother must have felt with 4...
