I really need a screenwriter's help

Thoughts near midnight in the summer

My nine-year should really be asleep right now.  I want to work on my screenplay, but every time I start to concentrate he has something to say.  And what are you gonnna do? 

He's getting pretty sharp.  I hope he's learning it from me.  In fact both of my boys are pretty funny.  I'm not just saying that.  They really are.  They have great senses of humor...

Here's the rub, the ol' lady's a stay-at-home-mom,; at least for another year.  I want that magical memory for my children, of real summers, when as soon as school was out you slept til whenever.  My mom was a teacher, so I lived that, and I want my boys to live it, too.  Meanwhile, I get my best thinking done at night and I've lost the night to my nine-year old. 

I know, I know, in about another year or two he'll be staying up and begging me to go to bed so he can be alone.  I'll soon be checking under his mattress for you know what.  That's all part of it.  But not now.  Every age has its blessings and its curses.  Right now, the blesssings are that I can throw a baseball as hard as I want at him and he can catch it; and hit it, so when he plays with his peers he's a stud.  And he can pick up after himself, and he actually WILL pick up after himself.  And I could go on for an hour or more about the blessings....

The curses - he's smarter than I am.  No, he's not as educated as me, but he's smarter.   And so is my five year old.  They haven't suffered any debilitating blows yet - to the head OR to the psyche.  They haven't been stood up, or had their ass kicked, or blown a job interview.  They are bullet-proof.  The believe in themselves, and I have to prolong that for as long as I can.  My curse is their blessing... I'm the only fairy that can help them, and I'm straight.

So the nine-year old is asking me what the difference between Elvis Presley and Jessie Canostpalis (sp?) on FULL HOUSE is.  What are you gonne do?  I'll sign of now.  I'm gonna have to have a long talk with that boy.....

Ahh...the joys of parenting. I still think I'm too young for kids (also known as "denial"), but that entry still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Hopefully one day I'll get these Hugh Hefner caliber romps in the sack out of me and I'll be ready to have some babies.
Thanks for the feedback. How is the screenplay coming along?
