Took my son last night to see The Day After Tomorrow at the cheap seat theater we have.

We had a good time, even though there were many problems I had with various events that took place in the movie.

We just hadn't hung out together for some time. I'm going to try to make some time to do more hanging out with the kids, even though housework continues to stream at me, because time is slipping away quickly.

It's been a hard summer for me, personally, as well as watching the kids grow older and more indepedent. I miss days where we would hang out and play video games, watch anime, eat and laugh. These days, they are out with friends, working, or whatever.

And I end up sitting at home, alone, missing them.
