More than we can handle

So, God never gives us more than we can handle.  But sometimes I wonder what He was thinking!!!  This year of students is by far the most difficult class I've ever had.  It's making me reconsider everything about the way I teach.  I hope I figure it out soon because I'm leaving every day totally stressed out.  I stress out about being so stressed out!  Ahhh! I'm really afraid that being so stressed out is going to make it even harder to get pregnant.  I'm on my 2nd round of Clomid, and we're praying that it works this time.  I hope I look back at this time in my life/career with appreciation of how much God taught me.  I'm trying to keep an open mind and a positive spirit, but I've never been so unhappy with my job.  What is God trying to teach me?

House News

Hopefully the house we put an offer on in May will finally be ours in a couple weeks.  It's in the final stages of the short sale and just waiting for investor approval.  We should know in about a week if the short sale is approved, and then we have a 10 day inspection period.  Fingers crossed because the electricity has been off for at least 3 1/2 months which means the pool pump was not running.  The pool was absolutely disgusting when we made the offer in May, so I can only imagine was it looks like and smells like now.  Ewwww!  That's the first thing on our list of things to take care of because we want to have POOL PARTIES!!!  Hopefully we can get in and get the pool fixed for a few swims before it gets too cold.

Robert especially can't wait to move because it will only take him 25 minutes to get home from work instead of an hour and 15 minutes!  That will be AMAZING!!  If you know of anyone who wants to rent a house in Surprise, please let us know.
