A friend was raving about her roadside assistance club when I talked to her on Skype. Yet nothing registered to me as I was busy breastfeeding little Meg, emailing a client with one hand and trying my best not to spill coffee on my laptop and on the baby. I know half listening makes me a bad friend but what can I do. I’m just unbelievably swamped with things to do both online and offline. Now, if she’ll only talk about something interesting (to me, at least), like shopping or interior decorating, then I could’ve paid more attention. Now that I have a newborn to take care of, I’m thinking how long before my friends will cease on calling or inviting me to parties that start at 10PM. I guess my social life will resume when Meg is one year old, just like with her ate Sandy.
