I am the WORST daughter EVER...and my mom still loves me

Well I could blame it on the shellshock of my first day back at work or too much blonde hair color has soaked into my brain but whatever the reason I made the dumbest mistake I have EVER made in my life today so of course let me share my humiliation with the blogosphere... So I am sitting in the breakroom at lunch having finished my soup and salad and since I started lunch a little early was sitting alone a little bored and decided to log onto facebook.  Just as one of my friends joins me at the table I see a post by one of my cousins which I read as she suffered a loss her mother (my mothers sister) passed away last night.  Now my mother and this particular sister don't keep in touch like they should and we know she is in very poor health so this was a surprise but not.  Knowing my mother and sister were at work also they would not have seen this post yet.  So I called my dad.  He tells me he will drive to my mothers work and tell her.  I then text my sister a few minutes later to let her know.  She texts me back a few minutes later calling me an idiot telling me NO it was a friend of her moms that passed away.  Uh-oh.  I then tell her omg I told dad and he went to tell mom.  Well we didn't catch him in time and he had just told her.  So he gets in his car to leave and gets a text from my sister saying our aunt is ok.  So he walks back in the building and says I got good news...wrong person your sister isn't dead.  So after a panic filled text to my mom apologizing and begging her not to be mad at me and a teary car ride home I receive a text about 2 minutes from our house saying she knows it wasn't on purpose and she loves me.  whew!  I am so lucky to have a wonderful mom like I do and in a house where the weak are picked apart and fed to the dogs I have been the butt of endless jokes (mostly from my sis) about killing off relatives.  I am taking my licks like I should I screwed up.  Work itself was good today and I know this is a story that will be shared at family gatherings for some time now.  Even as I wrote this a light bulb blew out as my father was watching one of those Ghost chasers shows and when I joked maybe we have ghosts my sister chimes in maybe it's our aunt.  Have I mentioned how much I love living with my family lately? Didn't think so.
