Yeah, we are lucky if we can get cards out in time for birthdays! My family is spread all over the US (from FL to OR and many in between), so things are rarely on time. I *try* to get things to the correct locations in time for Christmas, but even that misses sometimes. We all do it, so we are all ok with it. In fact, because I was actually ahead of the game, I got my mom her small (but thoughtful) mother's day gift to her two days early and my little brother got mad at me for making him look bad!

As a family, we ARE good about phone calls though. They ALWAYS happen on the right day!
