Anyone feeling overwhelmed with getting your child ready for September?

I am off to drop my daughter off for pre-season on Tuesday. For the past month, I have been totally ready for her to go back (anyone lived with a teenaged girl lately… LOL), but last night, all of a sudden, I got very sad. It has been nice to have her in the house and, thankfully, boarding schools have long vacations. Being the second year, I thought I was prepared for her to go – there is way less anxiety because we know what to expect, and what worked and what didn’t. But, it is still very hard to let your 15 year old “go away”. One mitigating factor is the fact that she loves the school and is excited to return… so: mixed emotions here (mostly happy, but…).
