By now, you've got to know Thelma and Louise - the washer and dryer that will hopefully be brought to me by Standards of Excellence, Westar Kitchen and Bath, and Florida Builder Appliances because of the wonderful blog SITS and Back to Blogging.
Today: A new post about a woman who inspires me.
This is actually really hard, because I have alot of wonderful strong women in my world.
But if I have to pick just one, I'd have to go with Maude, my son's biological grandmother.
Maude is so special to me. Her son and I have not always gotten along very well, but she has made it a point to always make our relationship separate from that.
And even though she absolutely didn't have to, she treats my daughter like her granddaughter, so consequently, she is.
She's also the strongest woman I know.
She's been through hell and back many times over and she just keeps on. She may rage about it, or cry, but she never gives up.
Maude is one of the kindest and gentlest people I know, but she also doesn't take shit from anyone. And while she knows how to hold her tongue, if she cares about you then she doesn't - so I always know that she means what she says and says what she means.
I have never asked her for something that she hasn't come through on. There are not words to describe how much I love that woman. And other than my kids, I have no idea what she gets out of our relationship.
There could never be a higher compliment in my mind than to have someone tell me I'm like her.

I love people like that. You always know where you stand with them.. no guessing. Too many passive/aggressive nonsense. Just say what you mean, and mean what you say!
That is someone who gets it. She understands that just because you and her son aren't together anymore means she can't be part of his life and yours. Really cool!
