What I Am Leaving



Crappy stupid phone pictures but still, there you have it.
My babies. And one of the babies with a baby.
We went to lunch yesterday after HoneyLuna's appointment with the knee doctor who talked mostly about his basketball career. "I coulda been a contenda!" he might as well have said, "But I went to medical school instead."
Well. Good for you, Doc. Good for you. Now do you really know how to operate on knees because this is MY baby and HER knee and she needs it for a lifetime.

Please dear Mother-Of-Us-All, please dear Light-And-Love, take care of my babies while I'm gone. I have to say that, even if they're all old enough to take care of themselves because in leaving them, I am leaving my heart.

    That cracked me up.

    Mama, we'll be fine and so will the chickens. Bring back lots of pictures of food for us.

  6. Magnum! The very idea! What could you be thinking?! (You're still on to bring the pudding, right?)

    Mama, we will be fine. I'm looking forward to playing you while you're gone.

  8. Magnum- Haha! Hank keeps saying, "Now how many chickens are there?" Like maybe if something happens to one he'll replace it and I WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! Boy, is he wrong.
    I'll bet my chickens would love pudding. Especially corn pudding.
    But they do not need to wrestle in it.

    HoneyLuna- I know you'll be fine. And that Magnum cannot keep a secret.

    Trading Faces- Bralis- you bet! Well, sometimes. And I'm not even taking one "real" bra. Just those stretchy thingees. Bralets.

    DTG- You know I will.

    Ms. Fleur- Thank-you, dear. Thank-you.

    May- Well, if anyone is suited to the role, it would be you, my little clone.

    Brother Wrecking Ball- Thank-you for saying that. I know they'll be fine. The world will still continue to turn while I'm gone.

  9. Can I get in on that pudding chicken wrestling party? I bet the Moon kids know how to get down.

    Don't worry too much Ms. Moon. All will be well. I'm so jealous that you are going to Mexico! I've never been.

  10. Magnum~ ha!

    Again, I love these chicken updates. "The ladies meet the babies" is precious.

    I think your kiddos will be just fine, Ms. Moon. Hope you got your books all ready to go to read on the beach while sipping whatever it is you like to sip there. :)

  11. Ms. Moon,
    I love you. Try and relax and have a great time. Your babies will take care of each other while you are away. They are a good tight-knit group.

    Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy.

    I miss you all-fucking-ready. Tell Mr. Moon to have a good time for me!

    Love, SB.

  15. Lady Lemon, you are so invited.
    Mama, seriously, those pictures of me look exactly like you. I wonder if it freaks my dad out sometimes or if he just sees the parts of me that look like me.

  16. Lady Lemon- Watch out! Those kids play a mean game of Apples to Apples.

    Nicole- Got my books! And I'll be sipping a lot of water on the beach. It's hot! But maybe a beer now and then, right?

    Ms. Bastard- I'll tell him. And thank you, as always, you sweet little thing, you.

    Steph- Ah- she's so much prettier. And that smile!

    Michelle- And you know the first thing I'll do when I get home is open the laptop. Well, after I check on my chickens.
    I'll miss you too!

    Palagi Girl- There will be stories.

    May- He sees YOU! I'm sure of that.
