Hello, my lovely Hive family. Hope that you all had a wonderful and safe weekend.
Our weekend was pretty good, especially since yesterday our days are longer now. Yay.
On Saturday, we went to watch Jordan's soccer game, which was again very disappointing. Jordan has been having a very hard time here with this team. It has been two very hard, disappointing, and very, very frustrating seasons.
I am just so tired of how there is so much politics and all this corruption in sports and I really don't get how all that is allowed. I mean if you don't pay under the table (even the coach said it jokenly to his team) or be a family or friend of the coach, you pretty much are a bencher or you don't even get to play your own position.
Jordan has been so patient, but so frustrated and so dissapointed with his coach, but he will not say anything to the coach since other teammates warned him not to say anything, if he wants any play time.
The team has not won one game in those two seasons since the coach keeps on switching the positions of the players and does not let some really good player play, just because they will not say anything and they don't pay under the table. We were always warned by everyone how its bad to put the kids into sports, since the soccer the hockey system is so corrupt and hard to get in because of all the corruptions and politics, but we actually never expereinced it ourselves till not, I guess because it's not just kids playing a soccer game, but this is more serious now and the boys don't have much time to waste and they take this very seriously.
Well, Jordan felt so frustrated on Saturday, and many other previous game weekends that he just brakes down and starts crying when he gets in the car. It brakes my heart to see him like that, because I know how much he wants this, and how hard he trains on his own everysingle day and he is so good and I'm not just saying that because I am his mom, but because all the coaches always see something about Jordan that he always gets invited to train and even play with higher level teams and older man.
The good thing is that this season is over this month and hopefully we will get a new coach. The reason Jordan stuck with this team is because he gets to also train with the higher lever (adult team) which is #1 team in BC and that makes it all worth it, even though it's super frustrating during his teams games.
Well on Sunday, we celebrated Jordan's birthday. So I made a huge breakfast with some freshly made hashbrowns, eggs, fried plantains, some beans and fresh tortillas.
But I saw that Jordan seemed very, very sad, so I had a little chat with him while we went for a walk and he broke down again. We always have told him, to be patient and that things like this happen and that it will get better and that this is just not his time yet, but it will come. Just keep being you and trying your best, that is all you can do. The whole team has been frustrated with this coach and so many players have quit because of it and so many wanted to quit, but just like Jordan they keep on hoping that the coach will do something different and change, but it never happened for these two seasons.
I told Jordan that this is God working in his life directing his steps and having him there on purpose, because this is what he needs to experience and go through in order to be successful in life. These tough times is what makes us stronger even though we feel weak and we feel like quiting, but this is where we grow and we become better human beings.
God has the perfect timing, we just need to do our best and do good.
We talked for a while, well I did most of the talking, but I could see that he felt better afterwards, which also made me feel better. When we came back from the walk, my mother-in-law came with a pot of tamales (Jordan loves tamales and so she made them just for Jordan's birthday which was so sweet). We were actually going to order some lamb donair for Jordan's birthday, since that is what he wanted, but tamales were just perfect.
We also had some icecream cake, which is both of my boys's favorite cake and we just had a good time with the family.
Wish you all a wonderful, happy and safe week.
