Inner Thoughts of Parents at the Start and Close of the School Year

At the Start of the School Year:

“This year is going to be different, I can feel it!”

“I’ve set the alarm for an hour earlier than usual so we won’t have to rush in the mornings.”

“Spending an hour every Sunday prepping lunches for the week will save so much time. I’ve never felt more organized!”

“Ooh, look at these adorable lunchbox ideas! That sandwich looks just like the Mona Lisa! The kids will love getting personalized notes in their lunches. Pinning this!”

“They might not be thrilled about doing homework right after school, but it’s the best way to ensure it gets done. Plus, I can help them without worrying about dinner prep.”

“Ugh! He’s already ripped a hole in his favorite pants. Guess they’ll be relegated to the play clothes pile. Better order a few extra pairs to have on standby.”

“Picture Day is just around the corner! So many cute backgrounds this year—should we go with the blooming meadow or the jungle waterfall?”

“The school is already sending home notes about the Holiday Concert? I better jot that down on the calendar now. They’ll look so adorable in their dressy outfits!”

“I’m really looking forward to parent-teacher conferences. It’ll be great to collaborate with the teachers and enhance the kids’ learning experience.”

“The kids sure do bring home a mountain of papers each day. I’m glad I got a binder for each of them. It’s so easy to keep things organized by putting their schoolwork and art in memory books right away!”

At the End of the School Year:

“We need to leave in 30 minutes. I’ll just hit the snooze button one more time.”

“Don’t forget about Teacher Appreciation Day! Don’t forget about Teacher Appreciation Day! Ugh, I can’t believe I FORGOT to do anything for Teacher Appreciation Day!”

“I really need to go grocery shopping. Will the lunch monitor flag me as ‘Parent to Watch’ if I send the kids with stale Cheerios, raisins that used to be grapes, and ketchup packets?”

“Spring pictures? Those money-hungry thieves! They didn’t even ask if we wanted them before sending the entire package home.”

“Wait, what? There’s a Spring Concert? Did they even send out a notice about that?? When is it? Tomorrow night?!?!”

“He ripped another pair of pants. Well, he’s just going to have to wear those hole-y jeans for the rest of the year because I refuse to buy more right before summer.”

“Gah, I forgot to pack lunches! Again. Guess I’ll just toss some cash in their backpacks and remind them to grab fruit instead of chips. Like that’ll happen.”

“Wow, look at all these papers. That school might be responsible for deforesting half the globe. There can’t be anything too important in here, so I’ll just toss them in the recycling bin.”

“What does she mean her science project is due tomorrow? Did they even send a notice home about that?!”

“Next year will be different.”
