that's 2 times this week (and it's only been a 4 day week) that I've been late to pick DS1 up from school (next door). On Tuesday I had a lie down as I was feeling really sh*tty, set the alarm but don't even remember switching it off. Woke up at 3.30 (they officialy come out at 3.15 - but it's normally 3.20) and dashed to get him. Thankfully he wasn't the only child left.
Last night I worked, set the alarm a little bit earlier, in case I fell back to sleep to give me a chance to wake up in time. And woke up at 3.37 with the doorbell being rung and someone banging loudly on the door. It was the next door neighbour. Turns out the school has tried to ring home, but got the answer machine, so called DH, who in turn called our next door neighbor, who came and woke me up.
Pulled on the first clothes I found - no socks, slip on shoes (that I use for work LOL) and dashed round to get him. He was most definitely the only child still there
