Momma Needs A Monster

This was definitely not my shining moment. I wasn't self aware or even aware of how I was coming across to him. Which is why he couldn't understand I didn't want to date him. I was sending mixed messages or in some way without thinking it through misleading him since actions do speak louder than words. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

So if I've glossed over this story before I'm so sorry but this is one where again I dealt with a creep because I was bored and had to learn a lesson the hard way. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

I somewhere through out the year decided I have too much stuff. A lot of it never gets used and is just sitting here while I stress out over cleaning and tidying around all of it. Which too me is a bad way of life... This year that changes. No more useless junk for us. Less stuff less stress. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

Lots of drama on this app. But it's dying now so

The story of the time I decided I was an actress... And it worked out! Why didn't I keep going with this, you ask .... Why would I? It was just something to do, not necessarily a thing loved. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

Hello. Shorty episode today with minimal rambling and over explaining. If you miss that it will be back next week. That being said Holidays are fun, but remember the fun and magic come from within not the outer world and other people. So if saying no to traditions and people means you feel safe and happy then say no. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

Today I am giving you two stories about "friends" who just wouldn't take no for an answer and didn't know when to quit! The second one by far was definitely more of an actual stalker and definitely way more creepy. Just be forewarned red flags can happen with friendships too... unfortunately when it comes to red flags ya girl is color blind! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

This week I tell you the story of Bonnie. Clearly when we parted ways we both went through a lot and both changed a lot. Then when we crossed paths again things were weird. Sometimes people don't always change in the best ways, but it's okay because some people aren't meant to be in your life forever. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

These are just some weird/scary stories from some of the jobs I've had. This week there is some creeps being creepy and some spooks being spooky. Hope you enjoy

This afternoon I'm bringing you a list of categories with what (in my opinion) is good Halloween (or spooky) TV! I've tried to make this list as diverse as I can so hopefully there's something for everyone. I have true crime, paranormal, legend, horror based, classic, children's, and of course some of our fave sitcoms as well that have all made the list. I know this time of year is more geared for movies, but let's face it we don't all have time to sit and watch a two hour movie about a guy with a chainsaw skinning and eatin lost travelers, and not everyone WANTS to see that (although I can't imagine why not....) So for those of us who aren't feeling the movie vibe this year but don't have much time or energy for much else I offer this list of TV greats. (Again these are MY OPINION.) So I hope you enjoy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

The last few Halloweens I didn't have kids I was kinda not into the not trick or treating thing. And while I did somewhat go to parties they weren't the kind I thought I wanted to be at.... but I took the moments and made the best of them and they were still fun. On paper and at a basic level they seem boring and sad, but the little things made them not. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

These are the last two of the three Halloweens Hans from Frozen and I actually hung out. One of them we almost died and the other one was full of drama. Yeah at least they were interesting even if they weren't the most fun. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

Well, it's in line with my other stories and OutKast is right.... freaks and creeps come out at night. Especially on Halloween! Anyway I don't deal so much with the weirdos anymore as a mom. Mainly because I'm much better at boundaries now then I used to be and also in a small town like this most people know everyone or at least know of them.... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

This is the story of my Halloween party that wasn't. I have told you a dumbed down version of this, but it was such a good night for me I felt like telling the whole story.

So I dated someone from Craigslist very very briefly. It was cool at first, but I definitely think the age gap and our stages of life at the time were for sure not a match.

Here are some tidbits of people I met on MyYearbook/MeetMe. A lot of these dudes were red flags and a half or I just didn't click (or I ruined my shot) hence why they never got a second meet up. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support

So these two stories could have ended so badly, but for some reason I got very very lucky. I was stupid in the first one for asking for alcohol because boy was it supplied, but I was smart enough to know to bring back up. The second one I was even more stupid. I went alone, was outnumbered, and asked for alcohol but lucked out when we were unable to get any. Also in the second story I should have just left.... but again I didn't. Seems to be a pattern with the girl I used to be. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommaneedsamonster/support
