That night when we arrived home, I immediately fell asleep with confusion.

"Why another baby? Right when I'm in like, the hardest grade! And every time this happens, I get stuck watching the stupid baby for like, half the day."

That's all I remember before a fall into a deep sleep.

~~~~~~

It's Monday and I have to go back to school. I'm still shook about the news about the stupid baby on Friday and all I want is to run into the sunset my Long straight hair dancing in the wind.

I'm in my pajamas and I change into a Black tank top and dark pink leggings.

I walk downstairs and everyone seems to be in a bad mood. Even dad.

"-So then I say, if you don't want me to be your boss, you can leave and join Wal-Mart! Or Dollar Tree for all I care!" Dad says.

I yawn and stretch my arms above my head my long brown hair bounces.

"I don't know why you're hating on the Dollar Tree, Dad."

Dad clears his throat and takes out his phone. Some Dads may read the Newspaper on Monday mornings. But MY dad bids on vacation days with his workers at like, 6 in the morning.

"Honey, what's for breakfast?" Dad yells.

"Waffles and Omelets!" Mom yells and I groan.

"I HATE melted cheese!" I say.

"How do you hate melted cheese but love plain slices of cheese?" Dad asks typing something into his phone.

"My stomach likes what it likes." I shrug.

Soon, we eat breakfast while I rip the melted cheese off the omelet, which was NOT easy!

"Can I have your cheese, Bianca?" Britney asks holding out her hands.

Britney in the other hand, LOOOOOVES cheese like she's married to it.

I shrug and give her my plate, which she eats the cheese in about 2.4 seconds.

~~~~~~

I'm tying my shoes and trying to get my backpack on at the same time with a pencil in my mouth.

"you're going to be late!" Dad says.

"I-I can make it!" I say.

"Fine, you can say that while I be realistic!" Dad says and I look at him running and grabbing my math textbook from the counter.

"Says the man who has to leave for work in 8 minutes and hasn't even changed into some clothes!" I shot back grabbing my calculator.

Dad is wearing Full House pajamas which is a show that was airing when he was a kid. I've never watched it though.

Dad looks at his watch and he pales and sprints into his room like his life depends on it.

"Adora!" Dad yells at the railing but mom doesn't bother looking up because theirs smoke in the kitchen and Brinlee and Britney are running around the house looking for THEIR school supplies.

"What!?" Mom yells her hair covered in fire retardant.

"Why does the microwave say its 7? I'm gonna be late for work!" Dad says and I look at the microwave.

It says its 7: 22 and dad is supposed to be at his office by 8:30. The microwave is an hour behind!

"Because you never fixed the microwave after the power went out last week!" Mom yells.

We're just one happy family, aren't we?

The only person who's probably ready for the day is the KID in moms WOMB, but he or she is part of the Spiral family, so probably NOT.

But then I look into the Living room and Britney is pulling on Brinlee's hair and Britney is kicking Britney.

Crud! I say and try to break them apart but halfway succeed!

They weren't pulling on each others hair or kicking each other because they're doing it to ME.

Britney took my hand mirror! Brinlee yelled.

Brinlee took mine and I caught her examining her TOES with mine! Britney yelled pulling on my hair.

Now let's just say, Dad will probably need a new job and us 3 kids missed the school bus and mom missed her Yoga Class. Why do I have a feeling that tonight we're gonna have a really big family meeting?
