DOHE#004: Late Mother’s day gift
by blogrdocI just posted DOHE#004 in theDoHE.
Happy Mother’s Day to all.
What Happened:
For the ump-teenth time in a row, I have waited to the last day to send my mom a mothers day gift. I sent it yesterday (Friday) and there ain’t no way it’s getting there in 24 hours
Root Cause:
Failure to recognize/accept how important it is that she get the mother’s day package *before* or on the day of mother’s day.
General procrastination.
General thoughtlessness of others.
How to prevent it from happening again:
1. Set google calendar reminder.
2. Put reminder in paper calendar for 2009 (might be too early for this, especially since I don’t have a 2009 calendar yet).
3. Think a little more about other people’s happiness, especially your mom’s.

Chris: Do you mean that ‘my family’ is good company, my mom? or my readers? LOL
