Why am I such a hypocrite? I complain all the time about not having a large family and how my family is not very close. So I guess I'm not the only person feeling this way. I get this random e-mail from my cousin who lives in San Antonio. She mentions that she does not want to see the family loose touch with each other. We exchange contact information and she tells me that she is coming to Houston for a few days. I tell her that I would be out of town, but that I will be back by the weekend.
So on Friday she texts that she is on the way into town. I am already in town, but had a very busy day. For some reason I did not respond. I could have easily contacted her Saturday or Sunday. She even went to my parent's house on Sunday, but I was not there. I totally dissed her. Not on purpose, but subconsciously on purpose. I was just so tired all weekend, I didn't want to deal with family.
I'm such an asshole sometimes. The ADULT thing to do would have been to call her and tell her that I was exhausted and just wanted to rest during the weekend. I didn't do that. Nope, I played the "I don't see you" card and just ignored her text message.
I can not officially complain anymore about my family being so out of touch. I am just as much to blame as the rest of my family. Consider this my Internet confession if you will, but no amount of Hail Mary prayers will clear my conscious for how I acted this weekend.
