Pick of the Week:
"I LOVe LEMON"..

O.k., I'm going to "Flip-Modes" on you.
Tea time this week was inspired by Bigelows "I Love Lemon" tea.
Before I even tried it, I selected it as this editions winner. Not because of its flavor, but because of its name.
You see, this week, my daughter began behaving a little differently. My usual "sweet as equal" six year old was taken over by a strange sour-puss. ..
Request to pick up toys, study spelling words or pick up after a crafting project were responded to with complaints, sighs of aggravation & occasionally a deaf ear.
I was tempted to buy a book on "Sign Language" and wack her with it. "Can you Hear me Now?" ..
The little girl who is usually "the reason why I SING!" was becoming "the reason why I SCREAM!". She was feeling a bit brave, testing her limits to see how far she can go before reaching troubled waters.
Funny thing is, theres a very tiny part of me thats actually enjoying this. If shes' going to put someone to the test, I'd rather she be comfortable enough to try it with me. I don't take it personally.
Maybe because I know I put my husband through this routine at least once a month. Or maybe because I'm confident that no matter how "Unfair" she says it is, I'm giving her the best that I've got. Which will probably never include a $500 tree house mansion. She better call "Paul Bunion" and "Get to Choppin'!"
Its one of those 'When life gives you Lemons' scenarios. Which is why I picked "I Love Lemons" tea.
Tart enough to make you twitch. Sweet enough to forgive and power through to the end.
You gotta try this one. -singer-songwriter
