Quimby Street

A prayer request: We REALLY need to rent out our home on Quimby Street. We've had 3 people go through last week and I'm showing it tomorrow. We are really praying for responsible and clean people to rent it out. One of the prospects turned out to have a horrible reference, so she's out. The next 2 are Section 8, which I'm fine with, but they don't have their vouchers yet, which keeps us in waiting. The one tomorrow also has section 8 and already has her voucher. So, if she likes it & her references check out, I could already call for a Section 8 inspection Wednesday and get the ball rolling. Please pray for this to work out. The stress of this has been overwhelming to me and this is proabably the worst time of the year for me to be overwhelmed. Things are extremely busy at church and home now with Jung and Tim. Church & home are by all means great things, and I'm not trying to complain, it's just the house stress on top of being much more busy is not a great combo right now.

I'm also weening Isaac this week, which is more of an emotional thing than I thought it would be. It was a hard decision to make, and even last night I was second guessing myself. I'm doing it because:
a. it's less convenient to nurse & pump w/ 2 high school boys in the house
b. the fall is busy & I'm getting really sick of pumping
c. Isaac will be getting his front bottom 2 teeth any day now. It seems like that might be a good time to stop :)
d. my goal was 6 months and he just turned 8 months on Saturday, so I've already surpassed my goal.

We'll see how this goes. I think I'm going to miss the closeness that it brought. How did other moms go through this transition? Any helpful insights?
