comment_fic | A few more days with my mom

This is going to be quick and later I'll give more of an update about what's been going on with me the last week or so.

My mom was supposed to go back to Detroit but there was a mix up at the airport. I got frustrated with my niece (and my mom) but now that I'm home and calm, here's my (not so epic) airport rant (as I have calmed down some).

1) J was supposed to go in and leave my mom with her luggage and come back out but I ended up having to drive around the airport 2 or 3 times before she called to tell me that my mom's flight info wasn't in the airline's system!

2) my mom ended up buying another ticket for her return trip on Sunday, at the same time and with the same airline.

3) I get home and check her bank statement and come to find out her return trip was with another airline! It's too late now. That flight is set to leave in 25 minutes and she was marked as a no show with the airline.

4) She can't get a refund of that ticket, so she's out of that money.

Oh well. Live and learn. Tomorrow she's going to spend a couple of days with an elderly church friend and Sunday we get to do the airport thing all over again.

Now I'm off to pick up my nephew from work.
