Tulip's Tantrums

Here I sit. Typing on my blog. 12:30 A.M. and I've been up since 11:00. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to sleep soon. Staying up all night is just nuts on my body and mind. I've suffered from insomnia for a year or so now, though not consistently. I think a lot of my problem is medication - it's a side effect in 4 of my meds. Why I didn't suffer before, as I've been on these meds and at the same dose for a few years, instead the side effects are just coming out now? I'm actually getting tired and don't want to miss this opportunity. Toodles!

I've been up since midnight. That's not too bad. Some nights I only get 2 hours before I'm awake and raring to go. I'm going to try a new medication, so hopefully that will help. Alex Johnstone . What an interesting lady. She's a Hamilton school trustee. She is running in the federal election for the NDP. She did not know what Auschwitz was, reportedly saying "she had no idea that it was a notorious Nazi death camp." Where was she during history class? Must've been sick that day. Derek Saretzky . The monster who is accused of killing Terry Blanchette and his beautiful baby girl, Hailey. Saretzky was taken to hospital with sources telling the media that he had attempted suicide. Supposedly he's in a Lethbridge hospital in a medically induced coma. TURN OFF THE MACHINES! Let what he started be finished; he doesn't deserve to live. The Farmer's Almanac claims to have been right 80% of the time for its yearly weather predictions. That

I want so badly to touch and hug and love Ariya right now. I'm feeling horrible about a little, tiny 2-year-old baby whose Daddy was killed and she taken by a monster. Her body was found last night. Broken and void of life. Stripped of everything she could've been yet never will. A horrendous tragedy. Our baby Ariya with Opa: Baby Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette: RIP little one.

I really wanted to put some of the news up yesterday, but had to go to bed. LOL Let's start with a picture of Peanut. That's always good news. Here she is with her Daddy. Onto the news. Stonehenge : Archaeologists have found more large stones about 3 km away from the original site. I wonder how many other treasures are buried beneath the surface. Tattoo artist Flavia Carvalho is tattooing victims of domestic violence as well as cancer survivors. She does incredible work and helps these women move forward with their lives. Godless Parents . Very interesting article on religion and how it affects families. It was a great read. While I have no problems with friends and family who believe in God, I feel that although I respect them and their beliefs, it's not reciprocated. Open mindedness isn't for everyone, that's for sure. Nick Bateman . OMG what a beautiful man. He's only 2 years older than Dre though! LOL Makes it hard to think anything

Darrin and Braunt have worked in town for one and three years respectively. Now we're going back to them being out of town. I'm pretty used to it; we're veterans. Breanna has Ariya to care for and is pregnant and just isn't used to Braunt being gone anymore. It will be a bit more of an adjustment for her. Thankfully, Ariya won't really be affected. She's too little to have concepts of time. Let's hope these separations go quickly and we get them back on home jobs soon. Ariya. My Peanut. A busy little girl. Always on the go. And talk? She's never quiet! Her vocabulary is so big! Bre works a lot with her to help Ariya learn. My favourite word she says is BUPPIES!!! That is Bubble Guppies in Ariya's language. Haha Speaking of Bubble Guppies, Ariya's a fiend for them! Here's a clip  Bubble Guppies 2015 . What's in the news? Politics, politics and more politics. I'm so tired of it already. For whatever reason, Prime Minister Har
