What I am loving right now.

There are so many things that I am loving right now in my life. The main thing is my beautiful, adorable girls.

Lovely and wonderful pictures were taking by a good buddy of mine, Leslie.

I am up to my eyeballs on Halloween costumes. We will have a Fancy Nancy and a kitty cat! Very cute if I do say so myself!

I will be putting the finishing touches on their costumes this weekend!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Now what?

It has been two weeks now since I received "the news". Now what? I am not sure how to define myself now. Am I unemployed? a stay at home mom? housewife? home manager? It is hard to define oneself when their role has changed in some ways drastically. I have a long list of things that need to get done around my house, like laundry, dishes, rearranging the girls room. Then there is the list of things I want to do that have been pushed so far back that I am having trouble seeing them. You know the things that make you happy, I love to bake, sew, make crafty things and of course read blogs! Then there are the things that I want to do with my girls...play outside, go for walks, do fun hand print projects. With so many things I want/need to do and then the unknown factor of how long I will be in this position, I find myself not doing too much. I feed the kids, change diapers, change clothes from spit up, cook dinner, do a few dishes, give baths, read stories, tuck into bed. That about sums up my days so far. Am I loving it? Heck ya! So many times while sitting at work I would desperately wish to be home with my girls and even doing the dishes and laundry. So right now in life I am enjoying my family! Something that desperately needed more of my attention for awhile now.

A New Chapter

Well, it has happened the Steiger household has been rocked! Not necessarily in a good way. I was laid off from my job like many Americans these days. I was very shocked and upset when I was told the news. It seemed very surreal while my boss was talking and at some point I am not even sure what he was saying. I cried.....alot that day. I felt like there was big neon sign above my head that said "LAID OFF". I packed up my desk that day and left with a box of stuff. Of course, someone can to the elevator while I was waiting. I wanted to blurb out "I was laid off not fired." But I figured that guy would probably think I was certifiable! At that moment I did think I was certifiable. This was a huge blow to my already fragile self esteem. I always felt inadequet everytime I walked into my office so this was just one more things to pick on the board. After the tears...er fog cleared I started to feel like this happened for a reason. I have been unhappy most of the summer and conteplating looking for something different or feeling like I was being called into a different direction. So I know this was for a reason and I am eager to hear what God wants me to do.
