Peony..

It was so hard to leave the house today, freezing temps and I just dont get along, but anyway I did eventually get out and I came back with a Peony tuber, I was hoping to get a dark pink,  cherise colour but this pink is all that was available - dont really mind as long as I get some peony blooms!! I am hoping I will get some blooms this year, fingers crossed!

Tangled...

What a cold night, infact it has been cold all day today. Was not able to sleep last night and when I did eventually get some shut eye it was time to get girls up for Ballet, yeah - its Ballet on Saturday for the 2 younger girls and its more stressful trying to get girls ready for Ballet than it is to get them ready for school all week long..!

Doing Leilaah's hair is somewhat of a challenge and today she made me laugh - she says, "Mummy, you are pulling my brain out, stop combing  my hair or I will have no brain left..!!!"
This was as I was detangling her locks, so explaining what I was doing led her to asking if they could go and watch Tangled...so after Ballet we ended up at the movies and the girls have had a great time watching Tangled while I sat in the foyer and read the newspaper.
Going to get some rest now, tomorrow want to go out to our local town garden centre and see if I can find some items on my garden wish list - I really would like to have a Magnolia and a Peony bush in our garden!!!

Just wondering...

...if my treasured lillies have survived the winter, unfortunatly I am not in the habit of lifting bulbs over the winter...I hope my faithful lilly plants are ready to start shooting now as I so look forward to many scent filled, lilly blooming summer days..!

How pretty..!

To see more pretty, pink pictures go to Pink Saturday

Where is the justice..?

This week has been a week of emotional ups and downs and I guess it is bout time I started to learn how to talk and share problems and burdens, I dont have anyone "near and dear" to talk to living close to me so I guess I will talking on here to you...here goes, a few months ago I became victim to a (previously convicted thrice over, registered) sex offender.
Too cut a long story short, I took my laptop for repairs and the shop owner, unbeknown to me was and still is a sex offender who targets women by obtaining their details in the light he was taking details to book the repair job in on his system.
The local newspaper got hold of the story and kinda got the story but not as in depth as the actual facts in my case, not sure about the other previous victims...
The paper then got hold of the court appearance this week and published another story..At this point in time I am not allowed to talk to the media to correct the facts they have wrong or give them the full facts, I am also angry that the way the public prosecution have handled the case has left me feeling terrible, due to the nature of my work and other factors, I did not want to be identified by name and that is being used against me, I did not want to appear in court, having to go through the police interviews after I reported this vile character,  left me feeling like he was the victim and I was perpetrator, I was ripped to pieces and my character scrutinised to no limits imaginable...so after that, I refused to appear in court...all the evidence that was needed was available in print, text messages and photo text messages. So the police decide to do a "evidence based report", therefore the policewoman would stand my place in court...this is now being used against me and I am angry!
In the first place why is this nasty piece of work still allowed to trade and be involved with he general public in a field such as computers...how?, how is a character like him allowed to live and trade near a school...yes a school, my kids school as a matter of fact...how? I am told he has "Human Rights" and has a right to live where he wishes, i.e....1 min, (if that at all) walk from a school.
What makes me really angry is the judge in the case wants to look into wether this character was "encouraged" by me as this sick offender claims, if a reply text asking how much the repairs will be or a text saying that receiving a picture message of inappropriate measure was not appreciated is seen as encouraging...I dont know then ....he breached his previous bail conditions for previous offences, he is a known, repeat sex offender and is still loose on the streets..jail him, end of story?!!

Watery Wednesday..

Serenity at its best...a lake at Leopard Rock Hotel in the Vumba Mountain of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, a place described by Her Royal Highness The Queen Mother in 1953 as..

"There is nowhere more beautiful in Africa"

Roller Coaster....

Not much to blog about, I am kinda feeling a little like this.....

...like I am on a roller coaster ride, emotions with highs and lows all wrapped in one ride including missing my other half....but looking forward to up coming R&R, class is demanding....but looking forward to my new title once I qualify, cant stand the cold and dark days anymore...but looking forward to our summer break on the beach and... aarrgghhh the list could go on!

Exitement in the house of Haze...

...Malaikaah has her first loose tooth!!! Our middle girl has not had much luck with her teeth..even the children of Dental nurses have bad teeth. Malaikaah had extreme respiratory problems right after birth and was diagnosed with Asthma and at the age of 15 months she and her new born sister, Leilaah were diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis....then when her first teeth erupted she was diagnosed with Amelogenisis, this is the abnormal dental formation of enamel in children who suffer for respiratory problems. So  little girl has had sensitive teeth and symptoms and signs similar to that of acid erosion..and has also had to have one of her premolars extracted, which for her was not pleasant at all and it left me feeling sooooo helpless ...

(Excuse the messy look, girls had just got up...and discovered the loose tooth)

Anyway going back to this wobbly tooth now, we all know about the Tooth Fairy, but Malaikaah (who will be 6 in 9 days) is not sure is the Tooth Fairy really exsists..!! So our trip to the library this week was to look for facts on this special Fairy, we did manage to find 2 books, not sure how many actual facts are in the books but they were good reads all the same.
I was also excited to dig out  a book I had bought a while ago in anticipation of wobbly teeth...has a little tooth tin too...
