: About Me

My name is Tracey,Iam a married mother of three children.I have been married ten years this fri 27th 2008.
My eldest son has just turned thirteen,but most times you think he turned thirty.my daughter is nine years old,she has a good head on her shoulders,does very well at school,but that could all change in a couple of years,kids change so much.Lastly my youngest is going to be eight in july 2008.He is my baby,although really I should allow him to grow up,but like, to hold on as he is the last.
Iam here and joined as when i was younger,about twelve-thirteen i always had a pen in my hand.I used to spend my weekends helping my grandparents out,as my gran was old and could'nt get around much.she had never been in a shop so i used to write short stories about different shops and places.Then i wanted to be a writer as i developed stories in my head,but i would always get to the second chapter and that was it,never carried on.
So here Iam today a fully-grown married mum,hoping to take up where i left of all those years ago.And not only that if i find i cannot write a story that would interest anyone then I can try writing articles insteed,so please be patient with me.
Iam quite an outgoing person with lots of views and ideas.I like people to take me seriously,and not make a mock.I love to do diy around the home.If i had plenty money behind me i would perchase properties and do them up.I try my hand at anything,nothing defeats me if i can help it.Have experienced that live is too short,after loosing both my parents in their early 50's,through cancer.Three years apart.
I love family life,but often felt there is more to me than a housewife.i have loads of ideas in my head and love it when i get them into practice.

There we were, dads brother and I, both watching a once fit and healthy bloke, thrusting his body around on the bed in the resusitation ward at our local hospital. Dad was having his worst fit attack he has had frequent, in the matter of few hours. How much more was his body gonna take?and why?Hadn't he been taking his medication?These questions were swarming around in my head, since I popped in to see dad after work, and found him having his first fit since 20yrs, I wanted answers. This was when I got mad at mum (WHO DIED THREE YEAR PREVIOUS FROM CANCER). Why wasn't she here to support me...
