I‘m Done!
Sing with me! “Ding, dong, the Saxon’s done. Which ol’ Saxon? The third-grade Saxon! Ding, dong the third-grade Saxon’s done!” (If your Wizard of Oz is rusty, go here for the tune.)And, before I even submitted the last lesson, I had this message in my inbox: “Mary, [The editor of my project] says you’re available for more work. We have a writing task with a deadline of Wednesday afternoon. As much of this as you can take on will help us out a great deal.” HA! (Although I haven’t told them no quite yet…)
Tonight is trick-or-treating. R. is going to go with her buddy from next door, and the other four are old enough to wander the neighborhood in a clump without a mother tag-along, leaving me free this evening to iron pants!

Wow! Congratulations on your project being done and a request for another project leaves you feeling validated! That calls for a night of ironing!
ryc: that sounds like an interesting verse. i will have to read that passage tonight.
kudos on the saxon work!
Congratulations!!
And a hearty toast of the snickers bar to you! Congrats!
I’m glad that you’re done! Hip, hip, hooray! Enjoy your time without the kids tonight (although you’ll probably get interrupted often by trick-or-treaters).
Yay for ironing pants! No trick-or-treating for you?
Congratulations! But you pick a really odd way to celebrate…
Yea! Saxon’s done! So happy for you!! ……. but I have to agree with homefire!! Ironing pants would be the LAST thing I’d do with a free evening!!
Let’s not jump to conclusions folks. TP says she was “free to iron pants”, that doesn’t mean that’s how she’ll actually choose to spend her free time. Goodness, I certainly hope not.
So tell us…did you actually iron pants!?
And also tell us what costumes you had running all around your house!
*hands Starbursts to celebrate*
There! You were doing something right, they want more! I was thinking you might want to do tours of ancient Saxon settlements when you go to England, or visit tombs of Saxon saints or kings? I read they didn’t build castles, so you’ll have to visit other castles….
Congrats on finishing the Saxon! Almost wish I had one that would use 3rd grade Saxon.
