This basket is designated for school papers. It takes less than a week to fill it. So many papers. Why are there so many school papers? Fliers about camps our kids probably won’t attend, sign-it sheets that get lost in the shuffle and make me send an apology note to my boys’ teachers every other day, birthday party invitations we don’t ever attend (because we’re terrible, anti-social parents), worksheets I really don’t care about want to see, because everything my boys do is amazing.
Can I opt out? Is there some “please e-mail me” list I missed out on? If there is and I am needlessly spending my mornings after a slept-three-hours night sorting the papers out of my boys’ school folders, I quit. Forever.
