HI, thanks for stopping by :)  My name is Tracy,  36, SAHM to my 2 boys and married to the love of my life for 6 years .... Paul :)  and we reside in the Chicago area. I am truly blessed with my family,  my husband is wonderful and supportive, and the kids are happy and healthy (not to mention challenging) ,  and we have a GREAT life!  

My son Alexander was born at 32 weeks gestation because I had preeclampsia/eclampsia (toxemia).  He's a big healthy boy overall.  He was 3 1/2 lbs at birth now at just 6 years he's 49 inches and 55 lbs - WOW!  He has had some ear fluid issues, not many infections just recurrent fluid and had had 3 sets of ear tubes.  Now in Kindergarten we are have found that he has  CAPD - central auditory processing delay.  How his brain processes information that he hears. 

Sebastian is a sweet happy go lucky 4 year old.  He is looking forward to going to the same school as his brother for Kindergarten in the Fall.  He goes to preschool 5 afternoons a week. 

I love, love, love to travel so I am always trying to plan my next trip. I am going to Kenya in September to volunteer at an orphanage for 2 weeks.  We went to Australia *trip of a lifetime* - check out my photos - in Oct/Nov 2006 and the UK in March 2007 to visit my husband's family.  I also love to read, be on the internet,  including Ebay .. I'm an former addict, spend time with friends and my family :) 

We are truly blessed and I  have a great need to give back to others making sure the boys are involved as well.  Food drives,  homeless shelter donations, adopting a family over the holidays, delivering care packages to those that need it, we took in a Katrina family 1 1/2 years ago for 6 weeks .....

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and am taking medication for it.  Never knew it my entire life,  but it answers a lot of questions now LOL!! 

You've got this amazing creature--> yourself That can move and breathe, Dance and cry. And you have a certain amount of MOMENTS (maybe a few million MOMENTS but moments they are) And you have this chance to do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING To reach out to another vulnerable and true To dance on the roof in EUPHORIA and pray besides the ocean TO LET GO We have the chance every MOMENT To be alive and GIVE to this WORLD who needs each one of us so badly. --Sabrina Ward Harrison.

I'm an open book,  what you see is what you get.  Ask away,  dont' be shy :)  

 Thanks for visiting.
