Things are not alwasy great. When you fail to fulfill an expectation, there can be upset. She will not be rational, but you must remain rational. Listen to her complaint and do not interrupt her. Take some time away if you need it. Rather than simply saying "I am sorry", it will go a long way if you can show her that you understand the impact of you failure.
You got home late and did not let her know? The imact is that she had to feed the kids and get them ready for soccer practice and now she is going to be late for her appointment.
When she becomes really upset about a breakdown like this, there may be other things going on under the surface - but you need to clean up the primary mess before you can move on to understanding the deeper issues.
Deeper issues may include: Her friends are really counting on her to be there on on time, her dad is always late for appointments and she hates that, etc ... or maybe YOU are always late and not communicating and this is a chronic issue.
