That’s really what they say when you pass the defense. Yes, it’s all done.

Whew.

Actually too tired to feel elated, right this minute…but I’m getting ready to meet Pete and the kids at a restaurant for a really huge celebratory dinner, and once the blood sugar is up, I’ll run in circles whooping (and do another blog post).

    Congratulations Dr. Wise Bauer (that just sounds so intellectual!) :^D

    I’m going to go out on a limb and, despite your busy writing schedule, invite you to join the list of contributors on a new blog (with a name eerily familiar to you I’m sure. :^D ) that I started about surviving homeschooling while maintaining a healthy sense of self still. I know the readers and other contributors would be more than thrilled if you ocassionally dropped a few pearls of knowledge now and then on how you manage to press on in your own pursuit of education while continuing to school your children as well.

    My e-mail is nancypantslady at gmail dot com

    Thanks so much!
