Flat tire = bad luck

I got a flat tire today - my first one ever! My mom and I were on the way to my two volleyball games this afternoon, and I asked her "what's that noise?" She replied, "it's your tire - pull over" (so matter of fact - she's had three flat tires within the past year or so - she's a pro by now!). So here we are, pulled over on an expressway with the two left tires sticking out on the road because there is a curb on the right side of the road that prevented me from pulling off the road completely. Cars and trucks are whizzing by at 60 to 70 mph, while mom and I chill between the car and train tracks, which are just 50 feet away. AAA finally arrived 75 minutes later, and of course I missed the first volleyball game. To top it all off, we lost all three matches in the second game :(. Tomorrow I have to go get my tire repaired, and apparrently practice volleyball so my team can win next week!
