typical chaos

One van load full of children on a long trip to the Pediatrician for a sick child

One overheated engine 2 miles away from the doctor's office

One totally empty anti-freeze tank (or whatever it's called)

One crazy mom pushing a double stroller full of toddlers while corraling two other children on a search for an open business to purchase water for the anti-freeze (or whatever it's called) tank in a busy strip mall

One mom pleading with the Pay-Day Loan Lady (who had the only business open) for a trashcan full of water to take to the empty anti-freeze (or whatever it's called) tank to try and cool off the engine

One exasperated mom telling the hero dad she'll be waiting at the McDonald's with the play land down the road from the overheated van in the busy strip mall 2 miles from that blasted Pediatrician's office

One insane mom with four kids walking down the busy road looking for the blessed McDonald's with the playland

One brave momm plunging the toilet at McDonald's after the sick child plugged it

One apologetic mom at Mcdonald's asking for a mop to clean up the extra large ice water now spilled all over the floor

One insane mom again begins walking four kids down the busy road toward the hero dad who is trying to fix the van

One ever patient mom consoles child as he is stung by a bee on the walk down the busy road to the hero dad at the blasted, over-heated minivan

Weary mom, bee stung screaming child, sick child, baby girl, and toddler yelling at the bee stung screaming child to stop screaming, stroll down the busy road now almost to the blasted, over-heated minivan

Hero dad sends willing mom and two toddlers to the auto parts store to purchase minivan-saving parts

Strong mom carries two sleeping toddlers in to the auto-parts store and purchases wonderful minivan-saving parts

Hero dad fixes blasted minivan while hungry mom and four kids walk to "the Noodle Bowl" and order lots and lots of noodles for lunch

Much much later, hero dad sleeps, four children sleep, mom tells the story of this normally chaotic day
