To try a new thing

So my 10 and 9 year old sons have been showing me these blogs they have been doing in school and I thought I should try doing one to. I know I may not be all that exciting but who knows maybe I will have a new and easy way to destress every night when I need to get my head to shut down so I can sleep.
So I guess I really should start with my basic info...
I was born in February 1977 making me 31 years old. I don't always feel like I should be that old and sometimes I feel like I am so much older. When I was 18 I met my husband to be and we had an interesting two years of dating. We ended up being pregnant before marriage and after a long thought and prayer we chose to adopt this first child of ours to a family that he was waiting for. I have never felt sad or regret of this decision because I know he is loved and that he is with the family he belongs. A year later we married and soon after that had our oldest son in February of 1998. He was and still is such a blessing. A year later our next son arrived in March of 1999. He was such a joy in our lives and still has an infectious smile. 2 years later our next son arrived after a hard pregnancy where the doctor told me to stop trying to control having babies (since I had now had 4 while on different birth controls each time). He was a beautiful baby born in June 2001 and 3 months later we moved to another province. It was not easy leaving all my friends behind but I have managed to get through it. I still miss them a lot and love it when we can visit. In October 2003 my next son was born and I began to figure I would never have a girl, and I was ok with that since I had now 4 great boys. In July 2005 our next son was born and we learned that our middle son was different from other kids, he was extremely smart with low social skills which made him have different rules in his head than other kids. We also made another major move that year to a different part of the province and we started from scratch again. This move was for the kids as we needed school that could handle how smart they are without teachers who would be threatened like we were having. We have lived here for just over 3 years and in February of this year we had our last child as I am too tired to have anymore, but she is my little girl and I adore her. She is 9 months old now and trying to walk already and I wish she would slow down and stay a baby a little longer.
Well it is late for but I think I will enjoy this as a new me moment before bed.
Have a good one.
