I'm working on a few schedule changes in my life and this will affect my baking schedule for sure. Have you ever felt like there were days when you'd never get on task? I've had one of those weeks.

It is now almost 4 a.m. and I am not the least bit tired even though I got up at 6 a.m. the day before. Odd. This happens to me sometimes and it's so very frustrating. My dad says he just goes to bed when he wants to be asleep and forces himself to lay there. Eventually the body will give in. Somehow, I doubt that.

Bakers keep early hours and start work anywhere between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Now I think I can do 5 a.m. for now but any earlier and it just isn't going to happen. Yet.

So this next week (starting this Friday evening), I am going to attempt a 5 a.m. schedule. But since it's my first week I will get up at 5 a.m. for seven days and see how I make it. I've been meaning to get back to my workout routine so an early rise is the perfect excuse - never mind the 10 pairs of size 8 jeans that stare at my thighs in disappointment every time I open the closet. I need something to occupy my time.

You may be wondering what the heck this has to do with my blog but it's very important! As a business owner I have to be the one to open the shop, motivate my staff and gear up for a great day of sales. If I am not awake then my staff will not listen. This is great practice.

And if I can manage to keep a 5 a.m. schedule then there are days when I can successfully bake a cake layer or two before I even head off to work. It will make my jobs much more manageable and keep evenings free to be with my boyfriend and our furbabies. We have two bulldogs and a cat.

Please bear with me as I attempt this amazing feat. Next week's posts will either be completely incomprehensible or they flat out won't exist, depending on how I do, haha.

Wish me luck!
