Is there such a thing as making too much to qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Oh yes. Since 2005 you have to pass the means test which compares your income less allowed expenses to the IRS standards for your area.

Is there time to file to postpone sale of a home if we are filing chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Only the bank can postpone the foreclosure sale. Filing bankruptcy stops the sale by order of the bankruptcy court ("automatic stay"). If you are sure you will have no problems qualifying for Chapter 7 and that is what is best for you to do, then you can file a skeletal petition to stop the sale and then you will have to file the rest of the schedules and forms within the period of time required by the court (normally 14 days). You can not continue with the short sale in bankrutpcy but it can be completed after your bankruptcy case is over. There is very little benefit to do a short sale anyway but those are things you need to discuss with your attorney.

Can I file my chapter 7 myself since I cannot afford an attorney?

It is very difficult to get the filing fee waived, and even more difficult to represent yourself in a Chapter 7 unless you are both computer and bankruptcy law literate. Much more easy to shop around and look for an inexpensive bankruptcy attorney to help you.
