Sleep and worry

Ryan had another Best Buddy event this evening, an end-of-the-year Potluck. He said he had a good time and he loves tacos which is what they ate I guess so he's happy. Tired, but happy.

Speaking of tired ... you ever hit those days when you're just plain pooped? That's me the last few days. Why I started a blog when I was so exhausted is beyond me. Honestly, sometimes I just need to be slapped. As if I don't have enough to do! I love writing though, it relaxes me to chat to you. End of the school year is usually tiring as well. Seems like all of Ryan's activities come to an end and everyone wants a final hurrah. I don't begrudge that I just don't have a whole lot of energy. I love to see the smile on his face when he's been busy thought, it warms my heart.

He's asking for bed early tonight however. I want him to stay up until about 9:00 so I've got a movie in and he's laying in bed watching. Otherwise he'll be up at 3:00 a.m. Just like the rest of us! I have to admit we have a finely tuned schedule. With meds, bedtimes, get up times etc. Ryan sleeps better. Actually, I heard somewhere that we should all be doing that. Sometimes I put off sleep just because I'm not ready to face the next day. I'm not dreading it or anything, just not ready. There aren't enough hours in ONE day. I keep remembering the Bible verse, "Don't worry about tomorrow, today has enough worry of its own" So true, don't you think. Check out Matthew for that whole section on worrying. It really helps when you're feeling overwhelmed. Which, when you are a caregiver, is most of the time. Am I right?

It's time for me to fly ...
Love, joy and Good nite,
Karen
