Bad day for Sandy

Sandy had herself a bad day all the way around starting with breakfast and not ending until well after dinner. I guess she got difficult with Mike this morning. We had fixed sausage scrambled eggs with hash browns. Mike asked if she wanted bread and she said no. Then I guess she changed her mind and wanted bread after all, so Mike said she could have butter bread. Then she decides that she wants peanut butter and Mike reluctantly agreed, more to shut her up then anything else. Well I guess she tried to spread it with a spoon and that just set Mike off, which in turn set Sandy off. She also was dawdling to where Mike had to boot her out the door for school. I don't know what kind of a day she had at school, but she almost got reamed by us when she was almost 15 min late getting home from school. Mike and I were certain she had taken off as she was mad at Mike when she walked out the door before school. As it turned out her bus was running late so she didn't even know that we were about to chew her a new one for making us worry. She has been know to take off, not be where she said she was going to be, stop at a friends house or stop to play with a young animal. So we are justified when she is late thinking that she is pulling something. We asked her if she had any homework and she said a little that wouldn't take her but a few minutes to do. During dinner she announced that some boy at school was going to cut her a CD. We told her we wanted to listen to it first as she admitted that she did not know what this boy was cutting for her. That started a battle in and of its self. By the time we were done with dinner it was 7:45 and her normal bedtime is 8:30. I asked her about her homework and she said all she had to do was Algebra which she needed help to do. I talked to Mike and we agreed that she wouldn't have to do her chores and could stay up until 9:00 to try to get something done on her homework. When she said she would need help from her Algebra teacher to get her homework done I told her that her bedtime was back to 8:30 and low and behold she has World Geography to do. It had just "popped" into her head as she and I were talking. Well I blew up and I told Mike that he needed to deal with her as I was not in the right frame of mind to do so. That started yet another argument that led to a lecture that went in one ear and out the other. I don't know what her problem was but she best be in a better mood when she gets home from school or we all will butt heads yet again. Both Mike and I are sick and tired of her crappy attitude.
