I agree with LH here, life is tough for her because of her choices. She likely won't see it that way but stand your ground.

When I read your post above, you keep asking her for a good time or day to do this. Given that she always feels busy, there will never be a good time or day. Thus you don't get an answer.

Perhaps you could give a couple of options that work for you and let her pick one that she can make work too? Don't let her not answer or avoid the topic, stand your ground as this is important to you. Maybe she comes back with an alternate proposal; either way you get what you want.

Just don't be obviously eager to accept her proposal even if it is exactly what you want. A person likely shouldn't accept the first deal a car salesman pitches to them even if they would be willing to take it right that moment; they still take some time and think about it to see if the salesman will come back with a better offer to move the feigned indifference into a business deal. At least that is how I do it. :-)
