1If you haven't done so already, today you really need to focus on your plans for Mother's Day:

• Before the end of business today, you need to make a dinner reservation.
• Make sure you have a card — and stamps.  You should plan on mailing the card Wednesday or Thursday.
• Purchasing a gift should be a priority, especially if you have to ship it.  Unless you are willing to pay express rates, you'll need to mail a gift almost immediately.  If the gift has to go cross-country, you'll need express shipping.
• If you will not be spending time with your mom on Mother's Day, make sure you've set aside time for a phone call.  I love the Internet, but Mother's Day requires more direct contact (though Skype calls and webcam visits are great).
