I LOVE Beggar’s Night—it’s SO fun seeing what all my friends’ kids are dressed up as, whether in real life or on Facebook. I also love seeing the ultra-creative costumes that I would never think of myself: and there’s one that’s going viral on Facebook that cracked me up because it’s SO dead on! Meet Lainie, who decided to dress up as a “tired mom” for Halloween:
Is that hilarious or WHAT?? From the spit-up on her shirt to the rugrat hugging her leg, to the messy bun and dark circles under her eyes, I’d say Lainie NAILED IT! And she’s definitely proof that our kids are um…PAYING ATTENTION to us more than we might think they are. (Can I get an “ouch”??)
Oh Lainie! Your costume is so dead-on, I’m not even mad that it’s kind of a rough portrayal! After all, being a mom is TOUGH, and there are many days I have looked like EXACTLY that. (And mornings. I had to put on EXTRA concealer this morning due to some stubborn Monday-issue dark circles.)
