Headaches

Spring is finally coming and we are getting busy at work. I need to fire someone, he is really screwing up. Unfortunately, I need someone to replace him before I let him go.

I have a headache tonight. I so want a pain pill, or maybe I should smoke the joint I have in my room. I've been waiting for a good time to do it. No...I will just go to bed. Goodnight!!

P.S. This is an awesome tribute video for the Capitals!! Love the portion that shows Sasha (#28)!

Theo

Just wanted to share some beauty with you all:
Jose Theodore - I discovered Theo when he played for the Capitals. I can't believe this guy is a hockey player. He is probably the best looking guy I've ever seen! He could totally be a model. 
(As good looking as he is though, I love my Sasha more.)





Birthday

Monday sucked ass. I wasn't ready to go back to work.

No matter what anyone tells you, owning your own business isn't fun. Yes, it has some benefits, but not nearly enough.

Made it through to today.

Today is the twins birthday. My step-children. I tend to call them my children, but they actually aren't. I love them very much. I've been with their father since they were 2 and they turned 29 today, so it's been a LONG time that they've been in my life, and me in theirs.

We all went out to eat. I mean ALL of us. Me, hubby, our 3 kids, two of them with their significant others and the 2 grandchildren. It was most definitely the highlight of the day.

Tomorrow the Caps play and I get to see my #28. One of my step-children teased me today that Semin was going to get a restraining order against me. LOL  Problem is, I haven't gotten close enough for him to get one....YET. But there is always a possibility. :D

Good and Bad

So, today the Caps lost their 1st game of the series. I'm in a rotten mood now.

The day had started off good when the grandkids came over. They stayed until the end of the game. So, not only did they leave, but the Caps lost...at the same time. :(

Only bright side of the day were they kiddos. Granddaughter is 5 and grandson is 21 months. They are awesome! I love having them over.

Dale Jr took 4th in the race today. I guess that was another good thing. But since the Caps are my favorite, them losing doesn't sit well with me.

Back to work tomorrow. Another day, another dollar.

Hockey / Alexander Semin

I am a die hard Washington Capitals fan. Been a fan since 1985, the year my son was born.

I've liked Alexander Semin since he came to the Caps, but recently I have really fallen in love with him. I have his jersey, I have pictures of him in my office and I have a personalized licensed plate that says LUV 28.

I am hoping the Caps go all the way this year. So far, so good. They are leading their series against the New York Rangers 2-0.

Tomorrow is another game. Can't wait!

Learning to Deal

Today I went to my grandfather's funeral. It was one of the worst days of my life. But not in the way you might think. Most of you would think that it was because I lost him. No, that's not why.

My grandfather was not, to me anyway, the kind of grandfather anyone would want. When I was 12 he molested me. It was all fondling, but none the less it was molestation. It only happened the year that I was 12. Never before and not after.

I have been carrying this with me for 34 years now. My mother, father and sisters know about this, as do my husband and children. I don't know who outside of this circle knows, but I've not talked to anyone else about it.

I thought that I had learned to live with it okay. I found out that I was wrong.

I didn't want to go to his funeral, I just thought I would be there to support my mother. I never thought of how it would affect me.

As the funeral got started and the two pastors that were there to speak, started to, they began saying what a wonderful man he was. The more I heard this, the more upset I got. It didn't take more than 5 minutes before I got up and walked out with one of my sisters right behind me.

I broke down as soon as I got out of the room. I ran to the bathroom, where I completely lost it. Balling my eyes out, I hugged my sister.

I did not return to that service nor did I go to the grave site service. I did, however, go to the church where the rest of our family went to eat and congregate. I didn't stay long, but my sister's fiance said something to me that resonated with me. Something that I had never thought about.

His exact words to me were "You know, what really sucks is that you never got any kind of closure. No one ever confronted him and he never acknowledged he did anything wrong".

This is true. Now, I have to figure how to deal with it, after thinking I had for 34 years.
