When Lito told me in a note, at Christmas time, that he loved me, but that he didn't have a gift, I asked him, "What about the gift of your love that you just gave me?" So I say to you, Lynda, besides the compliment, which I have conveyed to Annie, what about the gift of your presence? I appreciate the fact that you stopped by, and that is more than adequate.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-39687919908345538012012-01-12T05:45:30.593-08:002012-01-12T05:45:30.593-08:00Nothing to contribute on schedules, but I do have ...Nothing to contribute on schedules, but I do have to compliment Annie on the quit.

Of course, I, being "Queenie", got the use of the parental unit's bathroom. Did not endear me to my brothers.<br />And discipline? again, let's just say that the 'rents were not afraid to be disciplinarians. Oh, no.<br />And, Mark and Annie's boys are responsible, creative, and smart young men now -- good guys, all.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-26961011928253555732012-01-11T09:36:45.974-08:002012-01-11T09:36:45.974-08:00There are things that seem to be taken as "gi...There are things that seem to be taken as "givens" i.e. sibling rivalry, childrens' resistance to work, harried morning routines, etc. that just don't have to be that way. Thank you for this glorious tribute to discipline and efficiency. I don't know when those became bad words, but I am refreshed to read that in some households they are not.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-44537343663539552282012-01-11T08:35:57.772-08:002012-01-11T08:35:57.772-08:00Judy: All things military were left on the tarmac ...Judy: All things military were left on the tarmac in Seoul, Korea. No, the schedule thing had to do with efficiency, with the goal of preserving tranquility. As me father used to say, "Let us be happy in our work."<br /><br />Michelle: Though I have become drunk with power, I will never forget the "little people" who helped me to the top. :)Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-78372369137943726552012-01-11T08:26:42.798-08:002012-01-11T08:26:42.798-08:00Thanks for mentioning me!

I'm okay with the last shower in this rotation, because luke-warm water doesn't bother me. I would say it's the Mom in me, willing to sacrifice a hot shower so the kids and hubby can have one, but really, I just don't like super hot showers. It's a win-win in this case!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-66888556469408733742012-01-11T07:49:41.788-08:002012-01-11T07:49:41.788-08:00Very impressive.

Does the schedule and the way you were able to carry it out with such apparent ease have anything to do with your military training??!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.com
