10 Stupidly Brilliant Costume Ideas for Moms

Once upon a time, back before the days of Cinderella when I was a princess, I used to dress up for Halloween and go to parties. I didn't really get into costume every year, and that's something I absolutely regret. If you don't have kids, dress up. Go out. Get stupid. Seize the fucking day.

I remember back in the day, Catwoman was THE costume. I bet if I went to the club this Halloween, there'd still be the handful of various cats roaming about with sex appeal. I don't know why women find cats attractive when it comes to costumes, especially when you see a dog lover who despises cats dressing up as a cat. Makes no sense. Anyway, I remember wishing I had the body for certain costumes I never wore. It wasn't until I pushed out 3 kids did I realize I did have the body for it. DID. Of course, now, it doesn't matter. If you see the way I dress when I drop my kids off to school, I obviously stopped giving a shit what my body looks like.

Yesterday's dreams of dressing up as I dream of Jeannie or Princess Jasmine for the sheer MC Hammer pants, Shera Princess of Power, Cheetara from Thundercats, a milk maid, a half naked angel, and something Greek where I get to wear a toga, have developed into more or less goals like getting trick or treat's night right, planning a birthday around it for one of the kids, getting their costumes, making sure their costumes are weather appropriate...

Really, us moms shouldn't stop dressing up just because we became moms. Yeah, it's a little extra preparation to do and money to spend, but who wants to regret not seizing the moment? Now is the time where I don't care what I look like. Now is the time where I'm at an age where I just want to have actual fun as opposed to conveying the appearance of it. Now is the time to really enjoy holidays with the kids as opposed to slaving over the holidays as a result of the kids...

So some fun costume ideas for moms. You're welcome. I know which one I'm going to be this year. Hint, there's a martini involved.
