There is a new addition to my morning routine.
Actually 2 additions.
The snooze button and an ice cold Dr. Pepper.

It was never like this.
Up until about October, my alarm would go off at 3:00am,
I will hop up and start my day. Just fine no problem.

Now I get up around 3:30am and as soon as I walk into the KOCO-TV 5 studios I am rummaging for $.50

The problem started one morning with a simple wrinkle in my usual morning routine.
I hit the snooze button...3 times!
It was great. The best 27 minutes I have had in a long time.
Finally at 3:27am I rolled out of bed, and started my day.

I was at work at 4:05am (so thankful I have short hair).
But I needed a boost. In came the second addition, a can of Dr. Pepper.

By 4:45am I felt ready to take on the day!!!!
Since then I have not been able to put it down.
I always said I would not drink coffee for fear I would become addicted.
Little did I know, my addiction would come in the form of a chilly sugar induced drink and a button that gives me 9 more minutes of slumber.

I know what I have to do, no advice needed from you.
I gotta get up.
I gotta put down the Dr. Pepper!!!

Pray for me.
