Day OneHundred-SixtyNine

I can't say I've ever really actually felt like a "stay-at-home" mom.  The years before Moe started elementary school, I worked full time...and during my time in Jakarta, Cakes was in school half-day and the life of a "stay-at-home-expat-mom" is a little different then most.  It's been a week since I've been home with this one...and I'm finding her damn entertaining.  I mean I knew she was my comedian but geez.  The conversations that I've had with Cakes over the past week continually make me laugh.  Things such as "Mom, soooo I think I need a big party when I turn 5" and "Mom, let me know if you're belly hurts because I will rub it" and "Mom, so what do you think we need in a house?" and "Mom, so there is this stuff called Gak, it stretches and bounces.  I need it for my birthday, okay" and "Mom, so what do you think Moe is learning in school today?" and "Mom, I now know my name.  It is Lily Franks Kathryn Cakes" and, and, and.....it NEVER ends.   Talk to me in a week, and I may be ready to lock myself in a closet, but for now, she's pretty good company...when she isn't throwing fits that is.
And just a little more of Lily Franks Kathryn Cakes....
