In every one of us we have this instinct of survival that sometimes we didn?t know or care if it?s good for everyone?s concern. This instinct could sometimes cloud someone?s good judgment and unfortunately someone is getting hurt.
And for those merely spectators some could conclude harshly or unjustly. What more for the one in the mid of it, who happens to be in a wrong place and time. This type of situation where we are at present, regarding my eldest son?s activity.
He was not informed that the club where he is with has fewer players on his division this school year. He was asked to sign before end of school year, stating that he will continue playing there this year without informing him, that a lot have moved out or stop doing basket. Then, last summer he was informed by his friend that there will be only 2 players and he?s the second one.
So, he told us that he will be transferring back to Lannion basket ball club. He was thinking that it would be easy like last year. Then, last week D?man called the head of the club in Tregastel to ask for release documents for Julian. He also stated our reason of transferring, which is not enough players on his category and Julian doesn?t want to play with senior group. Though He really like to do it in Tregastel because it?s nearer to our place, but he preferred to be playing with his age bracket rather than being with senior & being benched always. D?man didn?t further elaborate how unconfy it makes Julian playing with his physic prof & double size of him. (I would if I?m not doing well on his subject, mama thinking here.)As he (D?man), also expressed that we are willing to retransfer him back there, if they will have enough player on Julian?s catregory to make a team for next year.
The director was really nice at that time seeing our reasons. And told the D?man that ask Julian, if he really wants to transfer coz if it?s being in the senior makes him think; that it will make him stop playing it will not be the case, he is good. But if he still want to transfer, he?ll do the release letter for him. We were so happy hearing it.
Then, last Wednesday D?man called back, but the old nice director had somehow become vicious & insulting. He was talking in different lingo. Saying that he will not do the release coz he will rip-off Julian?s license to play and he will never accept Julian back to his club for now or next year . Hubby was so stunned that he was lost of words, dully repeating word by word what the director told him. I was so sad at the same time mad. Coz I know how much it meant to Julian playing basket. He is almost sleeping with his ball. It is how much he loves it.
And then, it made me thinking back, when I was talking to someone in Basket ball club representative in Lannion, I was asking which paper we should provide to retransfer Julian back to their club. And if, I would get this paper will they accept him. They say yes, but in some little hint they make me think that they have some issue with the other club. Naming the director was a little bit more emphasized than normal. That made me cunningly asked; is there something that I need to be aware of? I just got a crooked smile & a short word. Was that an omen? I wander.
Then, putting words of Julian & the one from Lannion, it made me think that the one in Tregastel is just trying to have more people to sustain the club. I agree that it should not closedown too; coz there are lots of children; who lives nearby would gladly benefit having a closer basketball club to join. But unfortunately, this year & perhaps since last year; the young men preferred playing in Lannion, because it bigger club & near the secondary school where Julian attends, too. It?s easier for them to go for practice, be with friend or something.
With the club trying to survive and my child is on the midst of it. How would I react? I would have tried more to talk to Julian on staying and play with senior but the way he spoke with my husband. It seems that his instinct got better of him. D?man told me he called the other club & told how it difficult to get the necessary letter. They told him that the club in Tregastel could vote veto on Julian?s transferring.
Now, I really feel bad that one of the head of club, who should be more understanding why this people patronizing them ,because they have things in common, love of what they do there and the club represent. I'm wishing, whatever issue these clubs have should be settled soon, I would be sadder to see someone else would be in my son?s shoe.
Nearly 3 months, I haven?t posted anything because it was vacation time of my children. It was our time to visit places, enjoy outdoor activities without looking like a mummy wrapped, getting invited & having invitees at home. Those are my reasons, why I was not active in here. And I do apologize on not saying a word or two.
Now, my kids are happily backed to school. And I, back to my old couch and starts pretending that there nothing else to do (like cleaning) but sit & read. I?m thinking that it?s about time to catch up with you. I know that I have loads of readings ahead of me though, it would be a pleasure to know, what you?ve been doing these past last months.
And to those who have visited me here; Thank you, I do appreciate it so much.
 I took these photos when we visited Fougères. I'm not really into cars but i do admire vintage one.
These are some of my photos.Hope you like them.
I?ve been racing these past few months. I always felt that I?m always behind of my need to do list & all. Sometimes, I even forget some of my appointments. I know, I should just write them down. And I do BUT I always misplaced my agenda book. If not for Lareine , sometimes I would have forgotten to pick up my kids in the school on the right time or miss some of my appointments. I make sure that she is aware of them(my rdv) coz she can remember them than I. and she?s so kind to remind me. See, how lucky I am to have a great friend like her.
It was last two or three weeks that I have messed up the birthdays of my friends? kids. And I assure you; this is not the first time. I ended up whining over the phone to her (Lareine), forcing her to spit out my weekly schedule and at the same time, really hoping that I have read her my agenda which I even didn?t write myself , it was Brigette, one of the mom friend here who wrote it for me. So, I won?t be mixed up & accept another engagement on the same date & time.
Even D?man was so much astonished that I ended up committing myself to two events at the same date & me not even aware of. Yes, that much! Understandable that it makes him worry coz i'll drag him on it. And seeing his wife, getting stressed up is too much for him to handle.I'm a handful, by the way.
But believe me, I?m more ashamed, how I become so forgetful lately. My reddening becoming my usual blusher and it?s not cute. Me explaining, how I messed up & hoping if we could rearrange something. Luckily, my blushing and stammering do the trick, I?ve been forgiven. And now, they put it on group mail & make me swear that I look at them.
The funniest is my kids would ride on this issue by saying,"but Mama, you don?t have the power of Naruto, (it?s a Japanese cartoon). He can have multi-clone and you don?t have any.? Good point, right?
PS: If anyone of you will say that it?s a sign of ageing.
Here?s my answer, I?M NOT HEARING YOU. I'm just stress.
