Teen With 8 Siblings Wins Halloween With Her Viral 'Tired Mom' Costume đ

Halloween is an opportunity to express your creative side, and sometimes present a manifestation of how you actually feel.
Killer clowns or spooky ghosts are so boring. But real life is scarier than fiction, so why not dress as something that is relatable and downright frightening?
That is exactly how Jillian Schnerch of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, arrived at her inspiration for her costume. She looked no further than inside her home.
The 13-year-old decided to dress up as "tired mom," and it resonated all too well.
In the photo, a doll is taped to her leg like a clinging toddler, for starters. Already hysterical.
Her hands are full as she carries an infant in one hand and a venti-sized Starbucks cup filled with who-knows-how-many-shots-of-espresso. A Target bag hangs from her elbow filled with diapers and other baby needs.

Barely visible, but apparently included in the shopping bag, were three requisite bottles of wine.
Hands down winner. Note the cheerios in the hair, the Target bag with wine inside. This outfit was clearly design⊠https://t.co/sl05cM1xbwâ jayewatson (@jayewatson) 1541075450.0
Jillian's expression screams of "Help meeee!" and is an impression she's perfected over years of keen observation.
It is also a look many mothers can relate to. The photo was posted on Facebook, where it nabbed over 18 thousand likes, and over 74 thousand shares.

The teenager is all too familiar with the hard work of being a mom. She comes from a huge familyââshe is one of nine siblingsââand she's seen the physical and emotional toll it takes on her mother, Lindsay Hartsock.
"She is our biggest helper and loves her eight siblings so much, but they also tire her out," Hartsock told Business Insider. "So she could relate perfectly."
@WLKYJulie ILOVE this costume! I remember those dayâs as a tired new mom. Now Iâm a tired old granmom. đâ lateblum (@lateblum) 1541022809.0

The photo helped other moms exhale a sigh of relief and served as a reminder that they are not alone in their plight.
"So many moms are saying that it makes them feel normal and not alone to see other moms look and feel the same way sometimes," Hartsock said.
"The funniest comments are the ones from moms saying that they don't even have to dress up for Halloween because they look like this every day. Or asking how we got into their kitchen and took a picture of them!"

For most moms, Halloween is everyday.
It may be all trick and no treat with so many responsibilities, so make sure to give your moms a hug and tell them you love and appreciate them, no matter what the occasion.

It's easy for Americans who haven't traveled outside the country to assume citizens in other parts of the world have access to the same amenities offered in the US.
But people who were not born in the States know very well how what a world of difference life in North America is compared to where they've come from.
Curious to hear of the things most Americans take for granted as citizens of the US, Redditor CapitalBread6959 asked:
"Fellow Non-Americans, what is something quite common in the U.S. that is completely unheard of in your own country?"
Americans do drinking differently.

H2O Required
"Every single place with a bar is legally obliged to provide free tap water on demand in England. Most restaurants will give you a pint of tap water with food for free (you do have to specify tap otherwise you get stung with some fancy expensive shite!) Admittedly the measures of alcohol are small here, though, compared to other places."

Work Clothes Stay At Work
"This!! It's so weird to me. Here it's literally forbidden to leave hospital grounds in your work clothes. I would hate having to bring them home and possibly carry some resistant hospital bacteria there with me. Plus you never know how well other people wash theirs, I like it done professionally at the hospital."

Making Sense Of It All
"Many moons ago, I did an IT internship at a hospital's service desk and being the intern, was always the one who had to run out and physically check things."
"When I had to go in to work on something in an operating room, I had to put on a full body tyvek suit, gloves, mask, coverings for my shoes, etc."
"Which made sense to me. Except the OR nurses who worked there wood just breeze in and out all day long, wearing the same scrubs they wore commuting to work on the bus."
"That DIDN'T make sense to me."

My Japanese cousin always comments on how Americans are friendly and are more open to striking up a conversation as opposed to citizens in Japan, where they prefer to keep to themselves and be captivated by their smartphones out in public.
As an introvert and one who can't stand small talk, I actually loved being left alone whenever I was in Japan riding the subway and walking about the city. Nothing against engaging with other people, but I found the quiet and my personal space being respected to be very calming.
People Break Down Things That Were Normal When They Were A Kid That You Don't See Anymore
The world is ever-changing.
One need only look at the evolution of home entertainment.
First, we had to go to the video store to buy or rent video cassettes, then video cassettes were wiped out by DVDs until video stores became obsolete owing to streaming services.
Making the one-season failure of the Netflix series Blockbuster painfully ironic.
However, those of us who grew up rushing to Blockbuster, hoping the last copy of Jurassic Park will still be there, can't help but wish we could relive the experience.
On the other hand, we are glad to see other things from our childhood have become extinct.

"Apparently, around the time I was in middle school, a fungal disease ravaged the local bat population and they never recovered."
"You never see them anymore."
"Funnily enough though, at the time, a local high school girl had this huge campaign to set up bat feeders to help bolster the local bat population and help them survive the fungal disease by giving them easy access to food."

There's little more frustrating than a mystery that was never solved.
The victim's family never gets closure, a killer may still be at large, and our minds continue to spin trying to figure out how something happened.
Perhaps most frustrating of all is knowing that there is an explanation for it out there somewhere.
And, there are people desperate to find it.

It's tragic that these mysteries remain unsolved.
But if there is anything to be gained from this mystery, it's the fact that these poor people will never be forgotten.
As the saying goes, "you die twice, once when you take your last breath, and once when they stop saying your name."
All languages have certain words that roll so beautifully off the tongue.
It's no wonder why listening to vocal arias from operas and oratoriosâwhich are typically in languages other than Englishâcan be such a satisfying experience.
Examples coming to mind that are pleasant to the ear include, "Un Bel Di Vedremo" from the Italian opera Madame Butterfly and "Au fond du temple saint"âa duet from the French opera, Les pĂȘcheurs de perles.

A Childhood Memory
"When I was a kid, the first Xbox 360 game I ever got was a Spanish copy of Halo 3 (I don't speak Spanish). At the beginning of the campaign, the characters keep saying 'careful' over and over again. Because of this, 'cuidado' has become one of my favorite Spanish words, and the voice they used has become my default voice to say other Spanish words. My other favorite has to be 'resbaloso'. A large, exaggerated r roll and a boisterous tone just makes this one of the most fun words to say in any language."

My favorite word or phrase really, is "Oh la, la, c'est cher"âwhich means, "Oh my, it's expensive," in French.
It was one of the first phrases I learned in middle school when I started taking French as an elective.
When I went home and shared with my mom what I learned, she was so amused by how the alarming phrase sounded. She couldn't stop laughing.
This led to her constantly asking me to repeat it whenever we were in the presence of her friends, and I milked it.
This is one of my treasured memories of my mother.
