I was a ~total~ failure on Mother's Day.
I managed to:
- order flowers for the Mrs. and for my Mom
- get and mail cards for my Mom from both boys and me n' the Mrs.
- get and mail cards for both boy's godmothers
- get and mail a card for my aunt (my Mom's oldest sister)
- get corsages for Mrs. and Nana to wear to church (appropriately one red, one white)
- get (and have them sign) cards from the cat and the dog for the Mrs.
- remind Jr. to get his Mother a card (which he did nicely along with a single rose for Mom and for Nana that he brought to brunch)
- make brunch reservations
I managed to forget:
~Cards~ for the Mrs. from me and from Luke. When I bought all the others, the store didn't have ANY for "Happy Mother's Day to my Wife" cards, so I said "I'll go back." I never did.
Luke spent the afternoon saying "how come there was no funny card from me?"
Mrs. was okay with it, but still. I just cain't win.
If she knows that you are the engine behind all of this, then she ~knows~ you didn't really forget :-)
Even the ~dog~ remembered, and you didn't? tsk.
