You are apologizing to the wrong audience..Talking works ..tell him you messed up and of course you'd rather spend the time with him.
Yes. Appologize to him. I have done that many times with my daughter after I had similar moments like you had. It means allot to them when big 'Ol dad, who is always giving the orders to say "I'm Sorry."
I have done just what you did in similar situations and I have found that comming back and saying sorry makes for a better time all together. I remember one instance when I was in a hurry to do somthing and blew her off. I felt bad about it, told her I was sorry and went with her the next day. It worked out better because instead if being with her and having my mind focused on something else, she had my undivided attention and I had hers.
