The Nurse

She attended college at Indiana University back in the 60's. She worked hard all through college, met the love of her life, and was well versed enough to become an RN (registered nurse).
She's one of those no-gumpt ladies... and if you don't know what I mean (which I'm guessing a lot don't since that's kinda one of 'my' catchphrases) it means she won't take any crap from anyone. She's headstrong, knows what she wants and goes for it. Very intollerant of her own failings, yet still tolerable, and helpful to those with their own failings.
She worked in the RN field for about 8 years, and one day up and got Pregnant... Well I'm sure there was more to it than that.. but this is my Mom.. I'm not ever wanting to know any more detail!!
Even though her career as a Nurse was going extrodinarily well, she decided to leave work, so that she could raise her child. Three years later, that mysterious stork came again.
Two children, one supposedly a docile, easy going child that could be trusted alone outside for hours on end to keep himself entertained and safe... The other a hooligan who would get into anything, and cause no end of mischief. (guess which one I was?
)
Years of backbreaking labor, child raising, ass spanking, emergency room trips, sibling fights, broken household items, and general mischief ensued. Somehow through all of that she was able to keep most all of her sanity in tact, and taught both of us a lot of great lesson's in life. She showed us that every woman is to be respected. That there really is no reason a woman isn't as good as any man, and normally she would one up us and show us how women were better!
She was always fair, and never accused of anything unless we really did it. She had the mothers 6th sense and knew exacly when we did something wrong though... She was smart as all be, and can still make me shiver in fear of a lecture even across 1.3k miles over the phone.
She's a wise woman, and has taught me a lot about life, women, and being the best person I can be. And for putting up with all the crap I put her through when I grew up, and somehow resisting the urge to kill me, she should be sainted.
I love you Mom!!!!
