Feeling Overwhelmed

I am feeling so overwhelmed this morning, and have been for several days now, and here are the reasons why. 

First of all, as I mentioned in a recent post, we were getting ready to put our house on the market. Well, as of Tuesday evening, it was "live" which means that it went up on all the real estate and property listing web sites. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning at 8am I got a call from a realtor saying he had clients interested in seeing the house, so we arranged for them to come by at 4pm. This morning (Thursday), Sean called me saying that our relator called him to say that there would be an offer coming in on our house tonight! Now, this of course doesn't mean that our house is sold, but it is amazing how fast everything has happened in the past few days. I just feel like it is a whirlwind all around me and I can't even catch my breath in order to let everything sink in. And this situation is especially overwhelming because we have no prospects on a place for us to move to. We've been looking, but have yet to find anything that works for our needs, wants, and budget. 

On top of all of what I just mentioned, I have decided to get a cyst on my ankle removed. It appeared out of nowhere last Fall, I had it aspirated, but it came back, so the next step is to surgically remove it. Until yesterday, I was under the impression that it was a fairly minor operation where I would go into the Orthopedic doctor's office, he would numb the area, quickly remove it, and I would walk out of there within a matter of minutes. Well, I found out yesterday that the surgery will be about a half a day ordeal where I will have to be put under general anesthesia. Then I will have to wear a boot on the foot and not be able to do anything for about a week afterward. I also wouldn't be able to nurse Inara because of the pain meds I would most likely be taking. Sean and I talked a lot about it and have decided to push the surgery out to the Fall. We have asked my mom to come up for a week to help out, and also, Inara will be much older (about 16 months) at that time and possibly already weaned from nursing.

So, all of this is just weighing heavily on me and I could really use some prayer as I walk through these decisions and situations. 

Thank you friends and family! I appreciate you all!
