Sorry I am a blogslacker!!!

I am thoroughly enjoying my 3 day weekend!! As you can see from the time that is was posted, I am up really LATE!!! I haven't had a caffeinated soda in OVER a year.....but, I got a wild hair today and drank one (with 3 refills but we're not telling ANYONE, OK??!!!!). BIG MISTAKE!!! I cannot go to sleep. Syd is in Conway with her gran and papa and Casey is asleep. Geeeeezzzz...

So, I will take this opportunity to utilize my energy into getting caught up on my blogging:
Syd, mom, and I went shopping today mainly to get some BROWN sandals for S. This is like hunting for that dang woodpecker...... I have yet to find her some sandals and I have been looking for at least a month and a half. Today I thought we would try JC Penney, Kohl's, Belk's, and Target. We had alot of fun looking at baby clothes for my sister who is due to have a boy in September. We definately decided that girl clothes are a LOT more fun to shop for!!!!! For some reason, Sydney thinks that she is Penticostal and wants to wear a dress EVERY day of her life. I am so tired of arguing with her EVERY morning about what to wear to school. Sometimes, this is the first thing she says to me when I am trying to get her up (even while her eyes are still closed). I got some great deals on some dresses today so I stocked up just so I don't start my day out stressed......But, still NO brown sandals!!!!! Syd also got to get some new panties too!!! She accidentally got them dirty in the restroom, so I just threw them away...But after inadvertantly showing her "you know what" to the Target stock guy I decided we needed to go ahead and buy some!!!!
Sydney not only thinks that she is Penticostal, she also thinks that we are royalty - or so she told the man checking us out at Target today!! She was asking me for a piece of candy for the 20th time at the checkout counter when I looked at her stearnly and said "No I will not tell you again!" she then returned with "Yes, your majesty!" which made this guy laugh. Knowing that she now had an audience she continued with her bit......"we are royalty" she said..."we live in a castle and she is the queen and I am the princess...." . I brought her back down by telling her that she is Pinocchio I think b/c her nose was growing from telling all of those stories!!!!!
I just had to stop typing, I was hearing sirens and thought they were getting close. There is a house fully engulfed in flames in my neighborhood...Lord, I pray please be with that family right now guide them to you I pray in your name, Amen.....
Oh I hope they are ok.....
Will update this situation tomorrow when I find out how they are.....
