I Am Grateful for TEA (iced, hot, with a straw, without a straw)

No joke, I am addicted to caffeine.  But I don't drink coffee (way too intense) and I don't drink Coke or *anything* carbonated for that matter (to me, bubbly drinks feel like fireworks in my mouth - not cool).

So I drink tea.  Lots and lots and lots of tea.

I prefer it iced but I'll take it hot.  As long as it has caffeine.  Until about 2 PM - then I have to put up the black tea and break out the hibiscus tea (yummmmmm....).

It's the simple things.  A big glass of properly brewed iced tea is, to me, a little piece of heaven.

Charles calls it my crack, my heroine.  My legal drug.  I call it Nice Mama in a Cup.  Because if I don't start my day with a big old glass of tea, I might not be so nice.   So really, I guess my whole family should be grateful for tea.
