i'm NOT leaving on a jet plane...

i seem to have bad luck with flying. yesterday i went to the airport. i guess i cut it a little close on time but i waited in line for an hour to check in, one man seemed to be dealing with 100 people checking in. with 40 min. still left until my flight time i told the man i was going to miss my flight if i didn't get checked in, he did not seem to care. he said i will get to you after all of these people in front of you. you check in at the kiosk and then they call your name and take your luggage, there were about 10 people in front of me and by the time he took care of them they would not let me go to the gate. i missed my flight. i couldn't believe it. so much that tears started rolling down my face. it was like all my stress hit at that moment. the people standing next to me said is the wedding tommorow? i said no i am o.k. just frustrated.
finally another woman came over and i told her that i had been waiting for an hour and missed my flight. she put me on the same flight leaving today ( the next day) and said she was sorry. much more than the other guy even bothered to say.
here are a few of the things that have happened to me:
the last time kiley and i flew to vegas we were there 2 hours early to be delayed 3 hours, spending 5 hours waiting for our flight
there was the time caleb and i got deboarded from the plane after waiting about 40 min. they decided we were getting off, after waiting about 3 hours in the airport they decided we were going to a hotel and leaving the next day.
nikki and i were in a lightning storm, we have been both delayed on and off the runway!
i would rather do anything than sit forever on the runway on the plane!
then there is the 2 times my luggage didn't arrive with me!
anyway i am off again today, arriving earlier with ticket in hand! wish me luck!!
