The first alarm goes off at 4:00 a.m. in the Davis household. Steven Davis leaves before dawn to try to beat the traffic on a two-hour commute to his aerospace engineering management job.
The second alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. Christine Davis wakes their three school-age children and gets ready for her workday, which includes nearly a hundred miles of driving. First, the kids are dropped off at two different schools. Next, she drives to her office to map out her daily schedule. Then she begins her workday as a registered nurse, making home visits to postsurgery patients. In the afternoon, she returns to pick up the children and stops at the store to buy groceries. They are home for an hour, and then it's back into the car for the children's music lessons and baseball practice.
