Hello all:
Happy Halloween from my family to yours. Eliana will be trick or treating today and will be wearing her very warm cow outfit (see previous post). She was previously Cinderella, but after getting a hint of what the weather was going to be, we ran to Pottery Barn Kids and bought whatever warm costume was left- hence the Cow costume.
Everything else is going great. I have a new JOB as I mentioned before. I am now working at LivingSocial and I absolutely love it. The best place ever. I wear jeans to work, there is endless amounts of food, and the work is very interesting and I have lots and lots of responsibilities. The hours are extreamly flexible and since it's an internet start -up, I can work from home lots. PERFECTION. I hope I dont jinx it.. this is a great gig.. benefits are amazing, hours are great, I am working on compliance and regulatory global work. In all, perfect set up. Too good to be true!. Pinch me please.
Eliana has been in her new daycare for a month now and she finally does not cry when I drop her off. Today was the first day that she did not cry!! She gave me a sad face, but no screams or tears. THANK GOD! FINALLY!.
Healthwise- I have a mammogram scheduled for November 18th- I have a lot of pain on my left boob and hoping that it's a clogged something or other and nothing bad.. my hormones are still crazy so I am hoping it has something to do with hormonal imbalance. Everyday I feel as if I have more and more energy so the meds are leaving my system. My last procedure is scheduled for early december and scans right before the holidays. I cannot believe it has been a year.
What a year- I must say.
Eli and I are also heading to Disneyworld with the family during the holidays-only for a few days. Mom and dad are coming up for thanksgiving so I am in charge of thanksgiving feast this year at my house. I am going to go all out (of course) and I will post pictures of my ridiculous endevour.
That's all for now. Will post pictures of trick or treating tomorrow.
Feliz dia de los Muertos too!..

Update
Hello everyone. Sorry I have not been posting as often as I should, but there is something wrong with my Iphone and it is not allowing me to post to blogger. :-(. I hope I can fix the problem, as you all know I do most of my blogging on my iphone while I run around with Eli.
Eli and I are trying to adjust to our new schedule, places, and work. Let me tell you, it is very hard to deal with a toddler and a full time job without much family for help. It is quite an undertaking.
The last two weeks were challenging. Eliana caught a nasty gastroenteritis (or what the doctor told us-- travel stomach bug). It was terrible! Diarrhea and throw up non stop for 4 days!. to top it off, right as she was feeling better, she caught a nasty cold/cough/flemmy thing. .. poor thing. She cant get a break. This is the sickest she has been in a year. I feel bad for her. But that is what I get for changing her environment so abruptly and throwing her to the wolves! (I know I am exaggerating).
The other day, Eliana threw up on me on the metro! Yes, it was loads of fun. We were both covered head to toe in vomit and I had to turn around, and start all over again with showers, etc. Never a dull moment with the Eli-Sonia Duo!. All in all though, this has been one of the happiest month for us. I am finally feeling better and we are exploring and trying new things. Will post pictures once my iphone situation is settled.
I have a new obsession!:

I think Eli and I will be able to afford homes in Staten Island (YIKES-NEVER!)
Enjoy the link and see how the other half lives.
Til next time,
toodles....

Back in the Saddle
Hello All. I hope everyone is doing well.
We have been very busy here in Eliana and Sonia land, but I hope to update my blog and keep you up to speed more frequently.
Eliana and I are settling in to our new routine nicely (yeah right!). It's crazy business in our household, but we are taking it one day at a time.
Now that I have been off meds for over a month I feel 1000 times better. My energy is not 100 percent, but my spirit and mental health is 1000 times better. I have not had a depressive episode for quite a while and I am not as crazy as I used to be. (right, D,K, and J? haha). I am blessed and very lucky that I only need one more procedure and hopefully the scans in November will continue to provide me with good news. Hair is starting to grow back and it's thicker than ever (that's a good thing right?).
I started working full time and trying to get a handle of things. Before starting on my new employment, I was asked to be second chair on an FCPA case in front of Judge Leon. I know Judge Leon from my days as White House Fellows Finalist. We kept in contact because we clicked (he is a funny judge). Anywho, I am having fun and the case should last another few weeks. We are in recess for two weeks and I am on travel.
Eliana's modeling career is doing great. ha! I never thought I would be typing out those words. I will let you all know and of course paste the picture when the magazine comes out.
We will be globe trotting soon and I will write about the trials and challenges of traveling with a toddler. I can already tell you about all the fun times we have had in planes, trains, and automobiles..
I have to schedule a procedure soon, and will probably schedule it when we return from vacay and before the thanksgiving holiday. I also have to schedule another mammogram because of my irregular mammogram a few months ago.
Breast cancer awareness is in October and there are a ton of charity events to attend.. But let us not forget about the famine that is going on in Somalia.. If you have the time and the cost of a cup of coffee, please try to give. Giving is a good thing people!.
Til next time.
Promise to keep up the blog even when we are traveling.. the title may change to .. traveling adventures of Eliana and Sonia. :-)
