Oops

I woke up at 5:30 this morning with Charlie. He wanted out, and I didn't want to allow him to be playing on the floor. Just in case he needed to go potty. So I ttok him outside this morning, let him pee, then told him it was still bedtime.

I threw him back on my bed and told him to crawl under the covers. Normallly that works, and he goes back to sleep.

Not today.

Today, he wanted to play.

I had to yell at him to get him to calm down and sleep. That was just not gonna happen.

So here it is, 5:40 now, and my alarm is due to go off at 6 am. All I want is about 15-20 more mins of sleep. That is I asked for.

Finally after about another 5 mins of yelling and making sure he stayed up on my bed, he settled in and I finally got another wink of sleep.

My alarm went off at 6am as scheduled. I have to work at 7am, so I set it so I can press snooze a few times in the morning before I have to get up.

I remember pressing snooze at 6am when it went off.

What I don't remember is...

Shutting it off.

Yeah.

Apparently I shut it off, because I woke up at 7:45 am.

Oops. My shift started at 7am.

I darted out of bed, dashed to the phoned (which was in the living room charging-it can't keep a charge longer than a day now.), and of course 1 missed call. It was work.

I dialed the number asked for the charge nurse, and before she got to the phone..I was bawling.

Sob sob. "I am so sorry Cathy, I slept in. I will be there in 20 minutes"

Sob sob.

Cathy was great. She had a feeling that had happened, no big deal she said. Take a shower, get ready, but don't rush...well rush but don't get in an accident.

Wow. I can't believe it. Of course once I got to work (at 8:15 am) everyone gave me crap about "How nice of you to come to work" and "glad you could make it"

Oh well. They covered for me. I'll take the crap. I just hope I never do that again!
