We were supposed to sleep, but being as that we hadnt seen our families in quite awhile we had no urge to sleep. We sat around the house until 12 pm and then went and met with family and friends. Rocquelle did great with all the people she saw this weekend. We only get to go down to Cali every few months or so. And never get to see all the people we want to see. We stay with my mom and dad, so she is used to them. My brother and his family always come and see us so she is getting to know them too. We see my husbands family usually 1 day while we are down there. We always see his grandma. So she knows her too.
Adam hadn't seen his brother, or mom in about a year. We really wanted to see them, but his brother was staying in San Jose, with his mom, and they couldn't come down. It was disappointing but nice to see the family that we did.
I also got to meet my new niece who was born last week. She is beautiful and so tiny.
My sister was staying in Modesto, 30 miles from where we were staying. She normally stays up in SF and so I was really excited to hear that she was down. We haven't seen her in awhile, and Adam hadn't seen her in over a year.
I called her Saturday morning, and asked her if she wanted to come to my moms house and visit, and have dinner with us. My cousin paid for her to come down there, so she asked if she could come and visit me and she said yes. No big deal. I hang up all excited to see my sister.
About an hour later I get a call. " Hey, I cant come tonight, I made a commitment to stay here."
We talk awhile and see if she is just going to come for dinner and we take her back by 9. I really wanted to see her. She says she will ask and will call back later.
On my way home from modesto, I call her She says she wont be coming to dinner and wont be seeing us. From there I get angry. Say somethings I didnt really mean. and it ends up a huge argument where she says she isn't apart of our family anymore and she doesnt want to hear from us unless its an emergency. She would rather be my cousins daughter than my Mothers. It was very hurtful to all of us, but that is my sister. We celebrated my moms birthday on Sunday and left Monday. It was another very long drive but went faster since we drove in the day time. Got home at midnight and passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. What a great weekend.
