10 for August
Another month is almost over, and I’ve kept track once more of my no driving days. I didn’t do quite as well as I had in July, but I’m still happy with my no driving days total. I ended up not driving for 10 days in August, we also got out more and went for many walks, thanks to the cooler weather.
School starts next month, so I know I’ll be driving more. I would like to try and keep from driving at least 2-3 days a week during the School year. We’ll see how it goes.

With Grandparent’s Day coming up soon (September 7th) I’m planning a Dinner to say thanks the boy’s amazing Grandmas. I’m planning on serving Turkey and Homemade Noodles, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Homemade Rolls, and some sort of Dessert, I haven’t quite made up my mind yet.
I am stuck on gifts though, I have no idea what to get for the Grandmas. I have a little over a week to come up with a gift, I hope that I can find something good.

Today I am still in a bad mood, I was in a bad mood yesterday after my car wouldn’t start, and I had to switch out the car seats with two screaming kids in 100 degree weather, yeah I am so in a bad mood. Somehow I ran out of time yesterday, and didn’t make it to the store either, and I’m out of Sugar, and now I’m Nico with no coffee, so I’m in a really bad mood. On top of it all, it is grocery shopping day and that usually has me in a horrible mood by the time that I am home, so yeah you could say that my bad mood will only worsen by the end of the day.
I hope that your mood is cheerier than mine, but if not feel free to leave your gripes with me.

The last few weeks I have been harvesting all things green from the garden. I had a few small cucumbers to pick, and I finally had one zucchini too. The green beans went from a few here and there to me harvesting handfuls every other day! I even have 5-6 cantaloupes that are still growing, I just hope that they get enough sunlight and ripen soon.
But something is a miss in the garden… Yesterday I noticed these while I was watering.
Aaah!!! Giant Grasshoppers have invaded my garden!
Yesterday I decided to pick whatever Green Beans looked ready to pick, just in case the Grasshoppers liked Green Beans, and the strangest thing happened… I was bending down grabbing a green bean when one of the Grasshoppers Jumped up and hit me in the left eye. It stung, but I had to laugh. Only I could manage to get injured by a Grasshopper. Next time I’ll be a little more careful while I’m picking veggies.
