if you gang up on mom...

You'll need stitches.

God doesn't give four boys to just ANY mom.

I just need to know when to contain my super-human strength.

My entire brood of men (including my beloved) joined forces to gang up on me tonight and pin me down, except one of my freakishly strong legs broke free and pushed one of my small men into the corner of a dresser.

P1040669

Quite a headache.

And a lesson - I hope, for all of us.

    hey, tell your gents-in-training that that's no way to treat a lady!

    hope it heals up quickly...

    I will start calling you "Zena the Warrior Princess". Nice job defending yourself.

    this should teach 'em, right? :)

    just kidding...i'm sure you felt awful for your superhuman strength, but what's a girl to do?

    hope his head feels better soon.

About Me

My photo
Messy and wonderful perfectly describes my life as a wife and mom of five. I'm passionate about advocating for orphans by telling their stories and encouraging adoption and orphan care. My schedule is messy and wonderful as I am charged with four sons and one daughter. We love living in our little mountain ski town. We do a little camping, a little skiing, a little hunting, and a lot of laughing and loving. Life is dirty and loud around here but we wouldn't want it any other way. Okay, maybe a little less dirty!
