After dropping the kids off at school yesterday I had a final day of leave today to recover from the journey. 10.5 hours from leaving home to getting back takes it out of me although the journeys themselves were pretty good, with no real hold ups.
Today, though, we are feeling somewhat empty and a bit emotional. Mrs TM and I are waiting for a phone call from our daughter to find out how her first day was, but I've no doubt she is being kept busy and has plenty of other things to occupy her. This is a good thing, but is not helping our emotional state.

Yes it's that time of year again! Just dropped my daughter off. Your youngest and only daughter must make it tougher than te boys. ou know she will be having a ball whilst you worry and pace up and down!
Yes, we've spoken to her this evening. She was teling us that school was good, the meals were good, all was good ... and then burst into tears. A very emotional time. She sat with her eldest brother at dinner so there is some continuity there that will help. Very stressful for the parents as well.
Dropped Beth off yesterday and she was in good spirits, she didn't even phone last night, just a short text. I will wait till tonight to see how her first day went. Fingers crossed she will settle better this term.
When Rebecca first started boarding, aged 8, they didn't let them phone home for a week, and then only when the matron was there to hug them afterwards!
Glad to hear since you've had a chatty phone call since :-)
Yes thanks, all appears to be well. So good in fact that she was too busy to speak to her Mum when she phoned this evening!
