I am sitting here looking at more paperwork from school. Another decision to make. Picture Day is Almost Here! Would you like to buy Package A (best buy) with 40 portraits for only $35, Package B(most popular) with 31 portraits for only $30, Package C has 19 portraits for $25, and so on. School Directory! Do you or don't you want your child's name printed in the school directory? How about their address, birth date, height and weight (only for certain sporting events), or picture? Box Tops for Education! Scholastic Books are Fun! Parent Club, cookies for birthdays, food for the Pie Social, and don't forget Girl Scouts!
Good grief, they haven't even had a full week of school yet. I get overwhelmed with all these decisions to make and we haven't even started thinking about sports and extra-curricular activities outside of violin lessons. Which activities should I sign up for? Surely not all of them, but maybe some of them.
And I have a master's degree! I speak English! I work in the schools for cryin' out loud. Right now I am really feeling sympathy for our migrant population.
I have decided that I refuse to pick the "Most Popular" portrait package. I'm not going to give into that peer pressure crud on the third week of school. I don't even know what I'd do with 31 pictures! I don't have 31 people on my Christmas card list let alone my school picture list. There, one decision made.
Now I just have to decide what color background we want for the portrait. For Pete's Sake! Enough already!

Thank you for the comic strip entry this morning! Better than any old newspaper! ha!
Pathetic isn't it...
and I'm with your mom... love the "comics" of the day! :)
Ain't it crazy the number of decisions we make in any one day. Kids or no kids - there are days I feel overwhelmed.
Well, I have resorted to a 3 ring binder for all the paperwork we are getting...on to the picture decisions...maybe I will let Landon make that one!
