The Chronister Family

Cub Scouts

Good evening, friends! We're home from Aaron's first meeting and my first committee meeting. He had a great time and well, I was in on a committee meeting! LOL! Not so bad as far as these things go. I got volunteered to try and get some buns donated for our Kickoff BBQ at the end of the month. Apparently, there are a lot of little Tiger cubs this year. We are going to be splitting into 3 dens because we have 18 kids! I hope it'll be fun!

My garden is done. I got tons of cherry tomatoes. I only got about 8-10 beefsteaks. I would have gotten more, but the birds helped themselves. I lost about 6 of them to blossom end rot, too. Ugh... I'll have to add some calcium to the soil, I guess. My green peppers didn't do so great, either. I only got about 10 peppers. Someone told me that bell peppers just don't do well in our area. Why didn't someone tell me that before I decided to plant the garden? LOL! Overall, I am pleased by my results considering it was my first attempt at gardening. The kids had a blast and ate a lot of cherry tomatoes. I learned lessons for next time. That's all you can ask for, isn't it?

Becca's birthday is at the end of the month. I am wondering where it went. I watch her walk around my house and just marvel at her. She's ahead of where the boys were at her age and they were scary advanced! God won't give me more than I can handle with her, so I'll have the graces I need to stay at least one step ahead of her!

We're continuing to have issues with my stepdaughter's mother. She has enrolled my stepdaughter into a private school and is refusing to give us any information that we've requested about it. We're finding out things about this school, but very slowly. I just don't understand how the judge can do anything other than give us custody of my stepdaughter just based on how much contempt her mother shows for the court orders in their entirety.

My dear Danny is working really hard on his qual. Soon he'll be done with it. I'm so proud of him for all of his hard work everyday, but for this in particular. He had to argue his case very hard to even be allowed to start the qual, as it's the most difficult qualification they have.

I went to the doctor today. The long and the short of it is that I am having pretty severe female problems. The doctor has ordered the tests that I asked her to, but she told me that she doubts that I have what I think I have. She of course wanted to put me directly on the pill to "solve" the problem. I said that I cannot take that for religious reasons. She then said that she'd refer me back to the gyn who treated me when I was pregnant with Becca. I will also be talking to a NFP doctor who's in Columbia to see what he suggests. Let's hope that we're able to figure out what it is that I am having problems with. Once we figure out what's wrong we can hope to find a way to treat it.

Well, all, I have to get ready to go to bed. May God bless you and your families!

I hope all goes well with your health. As for court it does not seem to ever go the way it should. I had way to much heck I went through in court. In the end it went in our favor but that was after 13.5 years. This was also over trying to protect our daughter from my ex-husband. You will be in my prayers. God Bless, mj

Garden!

MMMNNN, I love cherry tomatoes, they are sooooo sweet and juicy!!!!!! We had a garden this year, but the weeds overtook it, we were soo busy with 4-H and My dad had a lot of work to do as well as my mom, that we didn't get a chance to work in it,. But next year da said we are going to plant on time and that we are going to work in the garden three times a week.

I hope what ever is going on in your body, gets better soon!
