A Little bit of Funk

Since having Aaliyah at the back of my mind i have always thought why isn't there a broader rang of clothes available? Everything is quite simple & basic in the shops & things that are different & unique are hard to come by or cost a fortune. Whilst living in Roxby Downs the idea of selling my own Kiddies clothes had swirled around in my head but i decided against taking the plunge figuring it was a big risk & maybe more trouble than it was worth. i have always shopped around, trying to find things a bit different than the norm for my children. A pet hate is seeing 10 kids all wearing things from the same place  but i understand that there is just limited options out there. People have always commented on what i dress my children in & given nice compliments along the way also stating they "wish we sold things like that here"  Having worked in Retail my whole career & also being a Manager i feel i have picked some good knowledge up

My daughter Aaliyah is into her third week of Pre school (Child care in Australia) & i must say she is totally thriving . We both knew she was more than ready to take the step into Pre school but just didn't realise how much she would benefit from it. The difference in attitude & temperament has been really noticeable. Aaliyah is a hugely active child who loves to do things & be occupied all the time & has been this way from the moment she could crawl so having her just at home with me most of the time has hindered her growth to some extent, and as bad as that sounds its actually the truth as children learn so much from others and absorb a lot so with my health being poorly that has got to effect the wee midget to a certain degree. Picking up the habits from other children her age can be both positive and negative & although there has been a couple of odd "words" pop out of her mouth there has been a lot of Positives come out som

Week 3 has come around quickly on my new Chemo meds for my Arthritis & i must say i am having server side effects. I hate sitting around doing nothing , I just have far to much going on up stairs to be ok sitting around taking it (easy) so to speak But these Meds are totally knocking me about in a big way. I have been getting very blurred vision & itchy gunky eyes, last week it got so bad i pulled my eye lashes out to relieve the burning (not  just a couple either)  but it didn't help. I am constantly nauseous , dizzy and so fatigued its a struggle to do anything. For the last two weeks i have taken my meds on a Thursday arvo & then i get uncomfortable and sore and sick so bad that i don't get much sleep Thursday night then Friday is a write off.                                   A BIG Fat Write Off !!!!! I'm foggy in the head & not myself at all i am constantly sick & hardly manage to eat anything. Headaches have been constant &
