Parenthood...

...seems to be leaving my parents (well, that is what my mom thinks anyway). She thinks that because i am living in new york, and on my own, that her usual roles as "my mother" do not seem to be useful anymore. While i do not entirely agree with her (because i still do need a mom, and so does everyone), it is sometimes hard to admit that i am not at the point anymore when i need all of the parental attention.

My parents came to visit again this weekend -- this time they stayed on the upper west side, instead of near the heart of Times Square. They went to the same diner (across the street from the hotel) more than twice, that was fun. but IT WAS FUN! sometimes i do miss home - but, not minnesota home, the family home. I like being with my family.
