well, today was an adventurous day.
So, we have a tourney in Saginaw, and our first game was today at 12:00. We had to be there at 11:00, then I wanted to get there a bit early to warm up my arm really good, so we leave at 8:30 this morning. So we're driving, we're driving, everything is great, and all of a sudden my mom is like "oh shit, the engine is rrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy hot." So we pull over at the nearest exit and park in a gas station. From there, we both get on our phones and start calling people. I called Casey's cell phone but there was no answer. So I called her house, and her dad was like "They just left." but then I got her mom's cell phone number. Then my mom called her mom, and luckily they were behind us still so they could pick us up. So my mom and I sit on the lawn of the gas station for like, ten minutes, until the owner of the gas station comes out and is like " Dude, u can't sit there. The sprinklers are about to go on." so then we went and waited on the side walk. Then Casey came (wow thanx a lot Casey, I don't know what we would've done without u. Sorry bout the inconvenience! I <3 u!) and we drove to Saginaw and discussed soccer. Then we got there and played blazers, and we won 7-0, but we weren't playing very well. If we had been playing chicago magic or something, we prolly wouldn't have won. But it was fun, and I had a good time. I only touched the ball once tho, so I guess our defense is just fricken awesome :-P. Then, after the game my mom got us a ride with Mia to where our car is, and Mr. Savagian took a look at our car, cuz he works with cars for a living, and he said we'd be all right to drive home. so my mom lets me drive. So, fast-forward about 10-20 miles, and we're on the freeway. When I feel the car jerk. "what was that, mom?" I ask, and she's like "I didn't feel anything, it was prolly me moving around" but then like, two seconds later, I feel another jerk and the car starts slowing down. I was doing 75, but then it went to below 60, so I tried to press the gas harder to make it go, but I can't. So I half freak out, and my mom tells me to pull over off the freeway. So I do, and there's a dead deer right buy the side of the road, but our engine died, so I couldn't go anywhere. So we call my dad, and he told us to wait twenty minutes and try and drive again. This time my mom drives, and we go two miles before the engine dies again, and we pull into a weigh station. So we wait twenty more minutes, then we try to go up the road a mile to make it to the next exit, because there is a Quizno's there and it is 3:00 and I have not had lunch. Anyway, my dad meets us at Quizno's, fixes the car at a nearby gas station, and we gradually make our way home. I am finally home now, but it is almost 6:00. What a day!
