Worst Mom Ever!!

Tori went to Italy for spring break. The teacher asked us to have the kids to the airport 2 hours early. I am not sure why San Antonio is not a busy flight and her first layover was in Atlanta. However we were at the airport exactly two hours early. It seemed that we were the last to arrive and some of Tori's friends were worried that she was going to miss the flight. They were looking all over for her. I was like we are TWO Hours early, how on Gods green earth was she going to miss the flight! She after waiting the full two hours made her flight with no problem. Her flight back was to arrive at 11:55pm on Sunday night. I figured I would get to the airport 15 minutes early so I could see her when she came to baggage claim. Well her flight came early it arrived at 11:20pm. I was just leaving the house for the airport. You guessed it I was the last parent to arrive. Every other parent met there kids at baggage claim and all her friends parents are asking Tori where is your Mom? I arrived at the airport at 11:36 and Tori was outside waiting already with her bag. She was so upset I was not there to meet her with the rest of the parents. I told her I arrived when I should have I could not help that her flight was way early.  I guess i should have checked the status of the flight on line. So I am the mom who was not there to meet there kid after being gone for 9 days. I tell you Worst Mom Ever!!! The moral to my story be very very ridiculously early to the airport!!
