Okay, so I've been freaking for the past five hours that I forgot to send my father a Father's Day card for tomorrow; had been planning on doing it all week this past week but all week this past week I was sitting on my keester in court on the witness stand being given a testimonial colonoscopy by counsel for both sides. Just now sat back satisfied as h*ll, having sent over a Hallmark E-Card with an open-June-14 instruction; in the e-card I apologized for not having a paper card to him and described myself as "memory challenged". THEN, came back to the Hallmark menu and saw the reminder bar to the right which reminds one and all that Father's Day is

Sunday

June

21st.

Only I can do things like that, people.

Poor Dad. He may actually think it's Father's Day 06/14 as well.

Since you are "memory challenged" anyway, why don't you forget about the e-card and send a paper card? He is worth 2 special days.
 
The great news is that you were thinking about your dad and he will no doubt appreciate that greatly. Who cares whether it was early? Better early than not at all. And I agree that a second card for the "real" day would be a nice surprise for him. I hope he got a kick out of the e-card and your confusion.

I'm the queen of this .....I still can't remember if my anniversary is September 4th or 5th. So I buy a card on the 2nd. :eek:
 
I am just busting my gut here Ladies!! Hilarious! I thought I was the only really "special event challenged" person around! I miss everything! I'm extremely unorganized and never, ever get Christmas cards out because I spend most of my time from Thanksgiving forward trying to remind myself to buy them and forget anyway!

Yes, I know - I should put it in my darn online calendar!!!! I'm just very so not organized at home! At work? Excellent!

You are correct, there is no bigger dolt than you...now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get busy, this christmas tree I just bought isn't going to decorate itself..sheesh, some people!
 
Being late with father's(mother's) day cards

Aquajock(Annette):
I have two close firends (mothers) and I annually forget Mother's Day. The media never seems to warn us that Mother's(Father's) Day is coming up.

What I do is to go buy the card on Monday, one day late, and mail it in with a loving message. In the case of one friend -- a older wildlife photographer living in francophone Quebec -- I enclose a small gift certificate. This seems to work -- but perhaps this is because the two know that I am a forgetful klutz.

Oh thank god, somebody else! I can't remember my date either. On our first anniversary I had a special plate made for DH with the the wrong date on it. Nov 31. There aren't even 31 days in November!!
 
Epilogue:

Yesterday afternoon DH and I went to a grocery store before hitting our favorite restaurant (don't ask, don't ask) and I went to the greeting card section to get a paper card for Dad. Another woman came over and heard me LOL at one card; she liked it and got a copy for herself. I mentioned my little date foopah to her, and she looked at me blankly:

"Isn't Father's Day tomorrow?"

So it's not just me, people. It's not just me.

Feh. Hallmark holidays don't count. As long as you remember when his birthday is, I don't see how he could possibly give a rodent's behind about it. I wouldn't know when it was either if I wasn't invited to a FD party. The party is on my calendar and it will pop up and tell me to go. :p
