Did you know that iced tea has caffeine in it all day long? Even at night?

When it is hot out and one drinks alot of iced tea at the burrito shop and then gets some for the ride home, even though it is 8pm when one is gulping their second cup of nice cold iced tea, it still has caffeine.

And when one is swiping sips of her husbands cup of tea cause hers is gone while he is taking forever in the video store, there is caffeine in that tea, too. Caffeine amount does not change the later it gets in the day. Nor does it matter who's tea one is drinking.

I mean, common sense says that one does not drink caffeinated drinks at night, but iced tea doesn't count at night, does it?

I hope you all make note of this so that you do not travel down the same perilous path of trusting your tea to not keep you up until one in the morning while your whole family is sleeping peacefully, even the baby and you are left to blog and throw water on the raccoons that are eating the cat food on the front porch and hope that they are not rabid but you hear that some rabid creatures are afraid of water so what better to throw on them in at one in the morning when the BABY IS ASLEEP and you are all wired from too much flippin tea??? Throw tea at the raccoons! Tea for all my friends! Tea on the terrier who runs down the road barking for an hour every night at 10:30 like clockwork. Tea for the weird neighborhood kids who always ask me weird questions like, "Have you seen my brother who is ten? I lost him." Or, "Can I sit on your porch all day because there is a bee in my house and my mom isn't home and we had to crawl out the window to get away from the bee?"

oh, we are rambling now.

When I have had my ten minutes of sleep after my late night caffeine induced mania, tea for my sorry self tomorrow morning.
