One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Halloween ain't just for kids!

Sometimes you need a reminder that things don't have to be serious all of the time.

This past Friday night I attended a Halloween costume party. Costumes and positive attiudes were both required.

I attended as "Go Go Cat", a newly invented superhero. It's amazing how creative one can become with a wig, a mask, and a pair of gold tights! :-) While Go Go Cat's specific special powers have yet to be identified, she has been known to conquer the dance floor in a single bound!

Others relied on more identifiable and well known celebrities, characters, and in some case, insects. As you can see from the photo, we had the big bad wolf and a beautiful bee. We also were visited by Shaquille O'Neal, Julius Caesar, and Cat Woman, just to name a few.

To top off the party there was crunk music and witches brew. All in all, it was a good time. It reminded me that even though we're not in college anymore, we can still kick it!

That party was the bessssstttt Halloween costume party EVER!!!! I have never seen a gathering with such boo-tiful people inside and out, ful of positive energy, laughs, fun, and not to mention "goulish" food. Perfect. I agree, live shouldn't be taken so seriously and Halloween is no longer for the kiddies. It should be an annual event. "Go Go Cat" was adorable too. Keep that mask - it might have nine lives! LOL
