After a panic filled google search, I am pleases to find out that Mom's day- May 14 (May 10 for most Hispanic lands) is NOT a "couple" of weeks away.

So I still have 8 weeks to figure it out...

I need the date Bob!

Can't we put it on the site calendar and have a PM sent to all of us 7 days before telling us to send a card? !!

Yes, that would not really work for the collective majority of our Mother's being in Britain and Mothering Sunday there is March 26th, what with this being British Expats and all

I love my mum.... I'm just not good at remembering dates; on her last birthday I called her on the wrong day...

"Hi mum.. Happy Birthday"

<silence>

"My birthday's next Friday"

fantastic

I only remember mothers day because it's right after my mothers birthday....or I remember mothers day seeing it on the calendar and remember her birthday
