Dead Grass Season

I get off work early on Fridays so I spent the afternoon grocery shopping and cleaning the house. It was a really nice day today so I opened up the doors and let Molly play outside while I cleaned. This meant the dog kept going in and out. SO... cleaning my kitchen floors was completely pointless. Not only did she track in muddy paw prints but she rolls in the dead grass and drags it in with her. I can't wait for the grass to come back to life cause I am so sick of sweeping my kitchen.
Some say that sweeping or vaccuming can cause you to go into labor. So far no luck here. I've also heard that Eggplant Parmigiana from Olive Garden will do it. The girls from work are taking me there on Tuesday for a baby shower lunch. I'm going to try it :-) I googled the idea and there was actually a restaurant that claimed their Eggplant Parm. would put you into labor or they'd give you your money back. I bet they have lots of 9 month pregnant women eating there often.
I've also heard that sex or long walks will do it... but Molly is proof that neither of those work so I'm not even going to try those this time around :-)
Got any suggestions??
