Dropping my only off one week from today. School is not allowing parents to help with move in or anything so we pull onto a field, find the tent for her building, leave her and her stuff under it, and drive away. I’m not sure if it is going to be easier or harder than the “regular” way but we’re keeping it together. DH and I have made a pact to not cry in front of her so I think leaving her under the tent will be easier than a long, drawn out goodbye. She is a shade over 2 hours away and will be home mid-November through mid-January so my mantra has been “70 days, 70 days…”
