dead battery

I usually have to wake up Hunter to go and pick up the boys from school.  So I wait until the last possible minute to get him.  Today wasn’t any different.  I grab Hunter and am running out to the car.  I go in the garage and notice the sliding door is wide open and all the lights are on, but very dim.  I knew the battery was dead.  Someone (I don’t want to mention any names) had been playing in the car.  Max has piano right after school so I am trying to hurry to get to the school, catch his teacher who is picking up her kids and figure out how to get my car jumped so we can get to soccer tonight.  Sam is awesome on her bike so I send her ahead to tell the boys what is going on.  I get the stroller and take off after her.  When I get to the park I flag down his piano teacher who is about to leave the parking lot (excellent timing if I do say so myself), and send Max with her (luckily I had thrown his piano books in the stroller).  As I am walking home I call Lauren to see if she can help me, and again luck was on my side, Nick was home.  So just as I am walking up to my house he shows up and jumps my car (thank you soooo much).  I load everyone up and we go pick up Max from piano.  It couldn’t of worked out any better!
