There I was, peacefully going about my day, when I accidentally glanced at the calendar. I completely forgot what I was supposed to be doing because, there, in plain English, was my reminder that Mothers Day is only six days away. SIX!
I quickly took stock of my schedule for the next week and realized that I don't have a day off between now and Mother's Day. I procrastinated and went on with my life, and now I'm at a loss what I can send to my mom that will be guaranteed to get all the way across the country before her special day. Plus, I just paid my rent for the month so my entire paycheck basically disappeared before my poor bank account even noticed it was there.
When I lived at home, I would wake up early on Mother's Day and clean the house or make breakfast or scoop the kitty poo out of the litter box. Now that I'm grown up and living far away, Mothers Day gifts are a lot harder to produce ... especially meaningful ones. After a few minutes of panic-induced Googling, I stumbled on a classic bouquet from 1800flowers.com that costs under $30 and is guaranteed to be on my mom's doorstep by Mother's Day.
Crisis averted. Now there's just Father's Day ...
