I work full time, and am a single mom - but I always did my best to find time for friends and everybody. When I've been at home with my kid as a baby, I enjoyed the extra time for reading, having fun, taking walks and so on - I wasn't bored, but definitely I had loads of extra time.
Recently, one of my best friends has stopped working, bless her, to enjoy a "life of leisure". She's always been very "busy, busy, busy". Note that she doesn't have children. Now she sent me an email (2 months later), saying that she is so incredibly busy, she cannot see anybody before mid next month... I got peeved, and felt I am at the bottom of the priorities list!!!
what do you think? is it normal to be so busy all the time, or is it just a lack of organization? or is it simply that she has learned how to say NO, and I am apparently included in it?

i have met ruder people than that who use 'too busy' as an excuse for absolutely everything
and guess what?
i am a mum at home with my child - i have plenty of time for everyone else other than the 'too busy rude' types
they say that if you want something done in a hurry give it to someone who is busy (genuinely so) because they tend to be the most efficient
people who have the time (and inclination) to keep saying they are 'too busy' i would say it was done to lack of organisation - someone genuinely busy will find the time to do it all without ever burdening others with the excuse of 'too busy'

Yes it's rude, and VERY unnecessary. People don't HAVE to be as busy as they are. You don't have to commit yourself to five or six activities/charity functions every month. You don't have to volunteer at a soup kitchen every weekend. You don't have to take work home with you from the office every night. I think it's ridiculous. You can still do these things and more, but don't have to do them so often! Make time for yourself and relax or else you'll send yourself to an early grave!

Just leave her and talk to someone else. Let her contact you when she is ready for the friendship again. She might be going throe something she does not want to share with any one else and maybe just need a bit of space and a lot of alone time. But you cant just sit around. make more friends and talk to them, and when she contact you, you will have your friend back
