Mother's Day, Like Us, Comes but Once a Year

I had big plans for running a collective post with my other DadCentric homies for Mother's Day.  I thought it would be sweet if we all compiled a list of gifts that we endorsed or at least found amusing. I never heard back from any of them.  I don't know if it's because I referred to us as a bunch of motherfuckers or if any correspondence from me goes automatically into their junk box. I'm guessing a bit of both.

That said, it's too big a project for one man, even if that one man is me.  Especially if it's me.  Tomorrow is not only Mother's Day, but it is also our wedding anniversary.  It's 6 p.m. on Saturday night and I'm sitting here drinking Bass and writing this post without a single gift purchased.  I should probably wrap this up (after the basketball game).

I will suggest some good e-cards for those of you that missed the deadline for actual post (like me) to those you won't be seeing tomorrow.  I'll be using a few of these.  Of course by the time my grandmother checks her email it will be Thanksgiving and I'll be standing in her living room showing her, again, how to check her email.  Still, at least I'll be able to prove that I didn't forget.  Her email account is my personal time capsule for living life guilt free.  Thanks, dial-up internet!

Here are some cards that I recommend.   They may not be for everyone:

These cards are all from SomeEcards, "when you care enough to hit send."  They have a lot more and all of them are just as special.  Have fun, and good luck!

Happy Mother's Day!

I think the most motherly part about this post was the full-on GUILT you just laid on the rest of the DadCentric crew.

Nice one :}

Mother's Day is my favorite holiday. You get to buy mom a gift and she makes you a good dinner. Perfect!!!

Good luck on the gift. Might I recommend a amazon gift e-card. I've given those many times as "emergency gifts"

Very funny, thanks. I'm a single dad and their kids are with their mom, so Mother's Day gets a little melancholy for me. I guess I sometimes reminisce about being a married dad - drinking a beer and worrying about not having gotten a gift it, let alone wrap it. (I helped my kids get their mom a gift earlier this week, don't worry)

Thanks for making me laugh this morning!

Very funny cards. E-cards used to be the perfect solution, especially for MIL-type people. Spammers have made e-cards unpleasant.

er...uh...my dog ate my e-mails.

Forgive me - I just didn't read it until well after he fact - messed up weekend which you'll read about.

Nice post, unfortunately I read it on Tuesday. Are you going to post on how Mothers Day went?

It was a pretty good day, if I do say so myself:
