Beauty sleep? I'm Getting Ugly Fast!

Is it ok to say "I'm tired"? Well, I am. All mommas are tired, but I'm on the verge of exhaustion. I've always bragged on Asher's sleep schedule. He doesn't take naps, but he sleeps 10 hours a night. Sometimes, in the afternoon, he falls asleep in the car, and I can count on it being a LONG night. He gets energized and is usually in rare form.

This has been the busiest ball season with my boys. There have been a lot of practices, games, and splitting up duties with Randy. I'm tired of arranging a babysitter. I'm tired of packing Asher's bags to go to games. I'm tired of eating fast food. I'm tired of thinking and worrying.

Asher's sleep has been off. He started taking a medicine to help with his anxiety and hyperactivity. Don't judge this decision. This is just something we're trying. If it helps him learn, I will gladly give him this medicine every freaking day.  Anyway, he has to get used to it and adjustments may need to be made. He has taken it for several days and I've already seen his concentration improve. It has also made him take random naps.

For example, he took a nap early yesterday afternoon. He went back to sleep around 8 pm. He woke up at 3 am. He was happy. He snacked and played. Randy got up at 6 am and took a shift with him. Asher took another nap today during therapy.  He has just now fallen asleep and it's midnight. I feel like I can't get reset. I missed my dr.'s appt. today because I didn't know what day it was. It's never ending.

I have read a lot about the sleep habits of Autistic children. I'm praying that this is not what it's coming to. I get depressed at times like this. I don't feel strong.  The tunnel is dark tonight, y'all. Maybe I can see a very small light if...
