Mine is my same old rant rearing its ugly head again. I am tired of people being hurt and offended that my family takes up a lot of my time. I make a real effort to be as available to my friends as possible, but I always seem to fall short of my friend's expectations. Today a friend was upset that I was mostly unavailable during my recent roadtrip. Between my four kids and visiting all of my relatives, I was quite busy.

I don't think I would take it personally if a friend didn't call me or e-mail me while they were on vacation visiting family. I would actually be surprised if they did. I don't
really know what to do with this. I can't be perpetually available.
