It's really just a cycle, ya know? It's good and it's bad. You meet new people and acquire new life interests and sometimes it's just plain hard to remain friends with the people who have been your friends in the past.
I know people think that I don't make enough effort to keep up with old friends, and truth is, I really don't. I wish I had more time to do just that, but I have TWO little people who depend on me for everything. I have a house to keep up, and with four people living in it, that's nearly a full-time job on top of the full-time job of being a mommy. I'll admit, I'm usually behind on this house-keeping task. I also keep up with and make sure all of our bills are paid on time.
I also like to make a few minutes a day for me, whether it be computer time, or gym time, or park time, or just watching TV. Let's not forgot my poor husband. Gotta squeeze him in there somewhere.
It's exhausting!
Thinking about all of this makes me SO thankful that we are financially stable enough for me to stay home with the kids for another year. Adding a job into the middle of all of that responsibility makes my head hurt just thinking about it!
Therefore, don't hate on your friends if they no longer make their friends a top priority. While it's awesome to have friend time every once in a while, family comes first! Well, in this family anyways.
