Mother's Day

Mother's Day is coming up.

Now, it should be all about how great we think our moms' are, and how much we appreciate what they do. At least that is how I think the day should play out but in reality that is not how I approach the day of Mothers'.

Basically, each Mother's Day is a personal challenge on how good a gift I can find for my mom.

I don't like to brag (well maybe a little) but when it comes to my mom, I give some pretty phenomenal presents. Tapestries from Florence, mugs from Ireland, and margarita glasses from Mexico are just a few of my favorite gifts for my mom.

Unfortunately, I am hitting a wall on what to get her this year. From my previously stated presents, one can see that flowers and chocolate wont live up to the standards I set for myself. I usually have had my stroke of brilliance by now and know exactly what I want to get for my mom. I consider her my easiest person to shop for, which is why my lack of ingenious ideas is really irritating me.

I only have a few days left before the big day, perhaps I will just have to postpone giving her the gift until I can do it in person. This will give me both time for genius to strike and a valid excuse for its tardiness...
