Bumble Stumble Almost Crumbled










I am ready for the weekend. It is a long one too. For some reason I was thinking today was Friday, but whatever I am done until Tuesday!! That is when I get to start teaching those adorable second graders I met the other day or little Monkeys?? :)





This is the most organized it will be all year. Once they arrive for the year, game on. It's all about the learning.


All ready...
sorry if this is a boring, but this took me forever to do. I moved all of my furniture around and did some different things. So excited....
Until....this happened.....

So, I am driving home today...windows down, sun roof open all the way, listening to some great tunes....enjoying the moment and loving that my week is done and I can kick back relax and savor the last summer weekend. Until I feel this splat...it freaked me out...what could it be? It must of been a bug..no big deal until I look and there sitting on my right side( almost rested my arm on this OMG) is this huge bumblebee. I thought I was going to freak...thankfully no one was around me ( I was on a country type road), I literally stopped in the middle of the road and threw this thing out the window. I guess I see why people have the windows closed and air on instead.









I was trying to take the picture while driving...I took the picture and then threw the big bumblebee out the window. Yikes I say!

Buggin' Out

I have to rant a little about something that is driving me crazy. It is the Japanese Beetle. They are the most disgusting bug. They have made a home in my yard and have eaten most of the leaves on my trees. The other night my husband sprayed the trees and shrubs in hopes that these pesty little creatures will be gone. Sure they died...the ones on the trees that is. So today I am sitting out enjoying a beautiful summer morning and wouldn't you know it...those nasty little bugs have invaded once more. What is it going to take to get rid of these things.?


As I am downloading some music...I feel this crawling sensation on my head and you guessed it...Japanese Beetle. I can't take it. They are driving me nuts. I have to figure out a way to get rid of these creatures so I can once again enjoy my lovely yard and not worry about these insects taking over. HELP!!
This is the culprit. So gross....
