Crazy

This is no exageration my life is insanely crazy. There is always something going on all the time. Right now we are looking for a house in a community where less than 1% of rentals are open. This means by the time I look at a paper in the mornings I can count on at least 40% of the rentals to be taken and the ones not taken yet have upwards of 60 applicants. Most of the property managements have a application fee, and who can afford 80 dollars just to find out if they can rent a house from this company. Not me.
Also about two months ago my step-son came to live with us, yeah 7 kids and no home.(god doesn't put more on us than we can bear, so I'know we'll come through for the better) Anyway he is 17 going on 13(he would laugh if he heard me say this cause it's so true)and it's kinda like a culture shock. My oldest is 12 so having him in our home has been so way different. But he is a great kid, helistens when I ask him to do something, he loves his brothers and sisters and helps me take care of them, and he is so hilarious. I am actually inspired by him at times because he is so good after all he has been through. He was raised way different than my kids, but he watches his mouth pretty good, and he is really a blessing to us. My husband and I both enjoy having him around.
I am also homeschooling this year. Well as soon as I have a home for the school to send books to I will be anyway. I will have four students this year. Bobby 12, Charity 11, Daniel 8, and Elizabeth 5. It's gonna be a learning experience I'm sure.
Anyway, I just wanted to say I really need prayers that I can keep up the smile even during my trials and most of all not complain. I think that's the hardest part for me. But every trial I get better and maybe one day I will master my tongue(doubt it but still trying).
