I barely have time for me! My Ducky Ranch is feeling the crunch, too. So should I say something like...
It's not that I don't have time for YOU, I just don't have any time.
Or is there an even nicer way to say it?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ever think of ME slowing rotting away here? Who's only entertainment is to out wit a bunch of numb skull guards just to get on the computer so I can enjoy some semblance of sanity by coming on this site!

Molly, your friends should know you're busy. I have the same problem. The only time i get free is late at night. I find that even giving a friend a quick call between work and home tells them I am thinking of them. I also invite them along to go do my runing around with me when i do have a big list. Just send your friends an email and tell them your thinking of them and when you have alittle time you will call them!

Take a few minutes to type up a newsletter about what you've been up to. Do sort of a mass e-mail to all of your friends. If they really care about you, they'll be understanding.
I had a friend who was living in Germany that did this. I thought it was a brilliant way to keep everyone informed and I really looked forward to the next one. I think she was sending them out about once a month... Tell your friends that you miss them and when you have some time you'll make a point to get together with them.

Call them, email them, send them a card. I am busy too, but a
friend is worth taking the time for. You can send a compose email and send it to as many people at one time as you want.
You had the time to get on line and ask your question, so go on
and email your friends. You will be glad you did.
Just say Hi everyone, you know I haven't forgotten you I have just
been terribly busy. Now you will feel so much better!

Anything that let's them know you're still thinking about them-a little phone call, a note, a letter, an e-mail. None of these things take up too much time, but the fact that you took time to do any of them in your busy life should be enough to let your friends know you still care. Don't work too hard!!!

PICK UP THE PHONE. Talk to them one at a time. Say something like this
"I've been terribly busy lately, I don't want you to think I've forgotten you. How do I let you know? I really miss our _____________ (chats, lunches, movies, whatever), and I hope you haven't forgotten me."
Good Luck
After that, find some small note cards and FAITHFULLY, once a month, send them a note.

Send a mass email to all of your friends explaining that it's been a hectic time in your life, but that as soon as you slow down you would love to spend some time together.
Also tell them you miss them, and have not forgotten them.
Don't know if this will help...but mass email is the best way to reach out to numerous people that you want to send the same message to.
Good luck - and slow down, give yourself time for YOU!

just give you friends a quick call or email or even a dainty little note card, and just say thought I would drop you a line or something along those lines explain why you have been busy and drop in that you would love to catch up for coffee.
For Example email or note card:
Hi (whoever)
Just thought I would touch base and see how you are doing things have been so hetic around here, how is your life doing?
Would lov to catch up with you shortly see how you are doing. What do you think.
Ozi(or whatever you call yourself)

I would probably call them up just to talk. Make sure you apologize and /briefly/ explain why things have been off. Or you coud send them an appreciation of friendship card to them in the mail and sign it yourself. Something that tells them that they really are appreciated and loved by you, but you've been very busy lately. Try not to make everything seem like it's about you. Trust me, this'll work.

Find a couple of hours and invite all of your friends over for a get together, or out for lunch...tell them all at once that you've been very busy but want them to know they are in your thoughts and you want them to know they are special to you...and to please bear with you with understanding and patience until your life calms down some
