It's been four months since my last post. I suppose my time had been extremely limited due to family, work and other obligations.

I read my last post as it was talking about goals and working at earning them.

Glad to say I have accomplished completing my management program at The Mirage and now have been hired in a Manager's position at Bellagio!!!! I am so very happy. Yet so nervous and sad that I am leaving such a wonderful team and most of all the best boss I've ever had. I have to keep reminding myself that she will always be a part of my life. She's a wonderful lady.

My next goal is to lose the 15lbs that I've gained in these past months. With being busy I have not concentrated on my body and what I am putting into it. I have not been drinking enough water and trying to fill my body with high fat foods because of the lack of time and cravings of those types of things.

It won't be that difficult, just need to concentrate on my goals as I had these past months.

As always, I want to thank my friends who have continued to support me. It would have been much more difficult without you all there for me.

On a side note, during the past weeks I decided I wanted to learn how to do needles. NOT ON ME!!!! hahahah well ok, I guess part of that would be that I would be able to do needles on myself. BUT what I meant is that I wanted to learn how to do them on others. So, Friday, for my first time I did 39 needles!!! We did a butterfly. It was gorgeous! I can't wait til the pics are posted!!!! Thanks to my favorite Butch for teaching me.

So that's about all. Continuing to learn and grow and be the better person is always on my mind. I am so much happier and have so much more time to concentrate on my kids, work, friends, and most importantly myself!!! I've always told my bruja. that she can't help others if she is not well herself. :)

Love you all

Gosh,

just as soon as I sign up for this thing I don't have anything to say! Imagine that.... Carla at a loss for words. Well, ok not a loss for words but just haven't had much time and I left my mac with the kids for them to use.

I've been feeling a lot better but still struggling with not having the boys with me. I see them everyday and visit, work on school work, drive them around, make sure they're fed when needed and such. It's been healthy for us all. Rudy is taking more responsibility as he has been forced to do so. Of course he worries about me. I am not sure where that comes from. He doesn't like to see me suffer, yet he didn't work on our marriage or when we got back together. Funny how comfort levels allow people to slide into a coma. I don't regret moving out. I've been a lot happier and less stressed. I just miss the boys.

In regards to A.... well we had started talking again and then his grandma got sick and was hospitalized. She came out of the coma and he rushed down on Saturday to spend time with her. Luckily he did. He was able to see her and talk. While on their way to the hospital his grandfather was having problems breathing and by the time they got there he was struggling to breath. He was admitted to the hospital. Unfortunately, on Sunday afternoon A got word that his grandma had passed. Although he was able to see her for one last time and is at peace with that, he still is sad as we all would be. A's grandpa took it real hard and still is. So, A is in CA helping get their house in order. He's doing a lot better and is feeling more positive these days. So needless to say, with all that has gone on in his life, our conversation has been limited to positive, friendly conversation. Time will tell all.

Since I am not on the computer as much as prior to moving out I don't have a lot of time to get these different sites updated.

I will post as time permits. Or as I "make" time.

love you all,

C
