Hello beautiful people. How are you all? It's been a while since we chatted. What's been going on?

 

I'm Decluttering at the moment. For the most part I really don't enjoy it. I've done the toy room and now I'm doing the boys room. I enjoy the end result but not the process. The only time I really enjoy decluttering is when I'm decluttering my things, I find it very satisfying. Organising messes that I didn't create just makes me angry. The large majority of the organising and decluttering I do in this house are messes that I didn't create, which is why I don't enjoy it. 

 

This is made worse by the knowledge that within a few months they will have messed it all up again. It's like being stuck in groundhog day. I clean up, they mess it up, I clean up, they mess it up and the cycle continues. Either that or I refuse to clean it up and everything just stays messy and no-one cares about it other than me. Either way, it is very, very annoying. So, right now, instead of sorting the boys room I'm procrastinating on here. Next up I'll make a coffee and have some lunch. Eventually I'll get their room sorted, once I can't put it off any longer. 

 

I would love our life to be less focused on stuff. So much of life is about stuff and I don't like that at all. I want the focus to be on fun and enjoyment, not the acquisition of stuff. I'm constantly telling hubby that I don't want to spend money we don't have on things that we don't need but he just doesn't get it. He's all about spending money. I'm all about not spending money. Makes like interesting. But enough about that. What do I want to whinge about today? I can't think of anything. 

 

Oh yes I can. There was a house fire in our suburb this week. It was arson and the person who did it was the ex partner of the Women who lived at the house. Thankfully there was no-one in the house at the time. Police are now looking for the arsonist. I really hope they're protecting the women because her life is clearly in danger. Male violence towards women has to stop. There have already been two deaths this year of women killed by their male partner. That's two deaths in two weeks. What's being done about it? Nothing. Where's the public outrage? Where's the message to men that violence is not okay? I don't see it. I see women being blamed, I see the media phrasing it to make it look like the man deserves sympathy, that he couldn't help it. Bullshit. Men need to take responsibility. They are fully capable of controlling themselves they just choose not to. Men need to call other men out. Everyone needs to stand up and give a very clear message that violence towards women is not ok and will not be tolerated. 

 

I really hope that lady is safe and protected.

 

Have a beautiful weekend and remember you are perfect exactly as you are.
