For a long time if Seamus woke with a nightmare he'd come running into our room saying "there's a monster in my movie".  The night before last he must have had another.  He was in our bed around 11 but never said anything.  Then last night I was putting him to bed and he said "I'm not going to see that same movie again tonight right?  It was too scary."  I told him that he would not.  He said he would come in my room if he did and I told him that was fine.  He said "Do you care if I do?  Mommy do you weawy weawy care if I do?"

This being up at night takes its toll on both of us.  I had planned to go shopping today. It's only day we have during the week and we wanted to get some Father's Day things and something for his friends for graduation.  I was so excited to go to Borders.  I know it's dumb but when you are dragging two kids around in the rain the little excitements really help.  Seamus loves the "library store".  I thought we'd take our time and for once not rush.  

Well none of it went this way.  They didn't have the two things I know I wanted and Seamus was UNREAL naughty.  He wouldn't stay with me.  He was shouting, climbing shelves, crying then laughing.  He was so tired.  I finally told him that the treat I promised for later would not happen if he wasn't good.  He said "I want to be good.  I DO!  It's just not happening for me today."  I felt bad for him for being so tired but bad for me because I was having to deal with him.  I just cut my losses and left. 

When we were checking out the woman at the register said "I love his name, Seamus.  It's a nice name."  I asked how she knew his name.  She said "Everyone here knows his name now."  YIKES.  

Besides being tired the weather is getting to us.  Our squash plants have this mold-like fungus from so much humidity.  I think humans must get something like that too.  You can't shower it off.  It is only killed by sunshine.  The dogs are stir crazy.  We are stir crazy yet tired which is a bad combination.  The animals around our house are starting to show their impatience with the weather.

We've had a deer in our front yard just mocking the dogs.  The bark collar is the only thing keeping Guinness from going completely nuts.  Then a bunny showed up.  Bolding watching our hound try to get out of the house to eat it.  Seamus asked if he could bring it a carrot "in case the bunny wants to nibble."  

Hoping for better tomorrow but we are promised serious rain instead of the humidity, clouds and showers.  FUN! My hair is going to dread-lock with all this frizz.
