2:34:  No, not tonight.  Please not tonight.

2:37:  Yep, tonight.

2:39:  Ok, maybe I'll get up and watch TV.

2:59:  Remember to never watch Criminal Minds in the middle of the night again.

3:00:  K, maybe I can sleep now.

3:07:  Nope.

3:11:  Maybe, I'll read.

3:19:  Argh! I keep reading the same page over and over. 

3:21:  Just going to close my eyes and empty my mind.

3:22:  What was that noise?

3:23:  Maybe I'll wake up Alex.

3:23:  Is he even breathing? 

3:23:  Yep, he's breathing.

3:24:  I wonder what he would look like without ears?

3:29:  I wonder if every living creature has ears?

3:33:  I think I need to own some land.

3:38:  That's a brilliant idea.  First thing in the morning I am going to tell Alex I want to buy some land.

3:41:  I wonder how much land costs?

3:42:  Doesn't matter.  Still a brilliant idea.  I'll start saving.

3:50:  Alarm is going off in just over two hours.  Must sleep.

3:59:  Damn it.

4:09:  I think I need to rearrange the furniture in the living room.  It's just occurring to me that it is awful.

4:12:  Actually, I think I need all new furniture.  Maybe, I should start looking for old furniture and re-finishing it myself.  Yes! 

4:13:  The Cure has to be the best band of all time.  I am going to write about The Cure and The Autism Connection. 

4:29:  Yes, that is perfect.  I won't need to write it down.  I will remember in the morning.


4:30:  *sigh

4:45:  This is getting ridiculous.

5:00:  I might as well get up and get ready.

5:16:  *Yawn.

6:00:  (Alarm) Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I seriously wonder how much coffee you had to have the next day in order to keep from dropping on the floor. This .. ehm .. "Discussion" is so recognizable it is almost painful. Good post again, you _are_ really good at this.

I'm not a mother of a special needs child but I do work with them in a public elementary school. It is not an easy job but they are easy to love. I commend you and your husband for keeping things real. For keeping your sense of humor in what has to be a most trying time but a time you wouldn't trade for anything. I love reading your blog and I love Kate and Grace.

I wrote something similar a while ago, I am glad to see other folks have the same worries. Throw in some Money issues and maybe some worries about older family and you have it nailed.

I look forward to my Doctor telling me, "Well don't worry so much and don't drink so much coffee", how helpful, I would have never thought of that... sigh...
