I had been putting off getting something for Mother's Day for the last week thinking I would go out and get something eventually, but that didn't really happen till 2:00 a.m. last night(or today depending how you look at it). I don't have any good excuse other than pure procrastination/laziness.

I eventually leave at 1:30 a.m. realizing that I should really get something because it is getting to be almost too late. I sneak out to go and buy something for Mother's Day in the middle of night. I'm a university student and I'm staying home for summer but I don't want anyone else in the house to know I procrastinated so late to get a gift in the middle of the night. I would never hear the end of it if anyone found out.

I go to a 24 hour pharmacy and look for a card (which were not surprisingly picked over) and manged to find a really nice one. Now I needed to find a gift to go along with it. I looked through the store and I lucked finding the book section(this was a large drug store) and there was a best seller by an author who my Mom likes but didn't own.

I go to cash and pay for the book, the card, and I added a scratch card to go along with it. By the time I get home it's 2:00 a.m. and I need to sneak back in quietly as to not wake anyone. I get back to my room and sign the card and go to bed hopping no one would be the wiser that I got a gift only a few hours before my Mom woke up.

TLDR: I sneaked out at 1:30 a.m. the day before(or the day of) Mother's Day buy a last minute gift and no one heard me and manged to get a pretty good gift.
