It's 5:30 a.m. and I am awake.

I have already paid bills. I have logged in all of my miscellaneous tax deduction receipts that have been piling up on my desk. I've filled our our Holiday World ticket request from Toyota. I've loaded the dishwasher and folded a load of laundry.

Before I got out of bed, I laid there for over an hour just wanting to go back to sleep before it became obvious that the ol' shut eye train was not making a return trip. I'm rather slow to grasp things at that time of the day.

I wonder how Jacob feels about being woke up at the crack of dawn to go get breakfast and go to yard sales.

I'm about to find out. I'll let you know.
