I’m a Mom

I am all of those things above but I’m a Mom first, last and always.  Hearsaybyaideen is a commentary into life of a normal everyday family with two working parents, three teenagers, 17, 17 and 14 and an endless round of training sessions, study dilemmas, deadlines and drama.  I stand at around 5ft 7 in my mismatched socks and am struggling to accept that despite being relatively tall I am now the smallest in my house.  Everyone looks down on me now, but only in the physical sense.  I hope.

I love a lazy Sunday with a roaring fire, a glass of wine and our teenagers around us laughing, slagging, carrying on and chucking the Rugby ball at each other.  Well ok I could probably do without that bit, but there’s never a dull moment, never a dreary day and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Every family has a story to tell, welcome to ours.
