Anyone see the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"?

I haven't yet - I thought it looked like it could have been cute, but I'm not completely decided on it.

Remember when you used to live at home (or if you still do) and your mom would go through your room to find your diary key?

And then she would sneak to read your diary when you weren’t around.

Hopefully there wasn’t much in there that you didn’t want her to know – you know she found it.

So Mom, since I don’t live at home anymore and I don’t keep a diary, this is the closest that you are going to get! :)

We spent a good part of Sunday afternoon/evening with my family. It was great seeing them, but my mom wasn’t feeling well.

She has been going through some medical issues that we have been working through, and it really puts things in perspective.

I have found that one of the strangest part for me is realizing that there is that sort of role reversal.

You are now the one that is looking out for your parent…and the best way to describe it is weird.

It’s sort of this awe of being a grown up, it is partly the realization that your parents aren’t invincible, it is scary because the whole element of our mortality comes into focus, and most of all you just want to be there and do what is right for them to make them all better.

Today’s company supports something that is close to my heart these days.
