Jordan and I got in an argument recently about cleaning.

A lot has changed since Ruby, and one of them being that I've taken on more of the cleaning responsibility around the house. I won't go too much farther, because the point of the argument wasn't about cleaning per say. 

Jordan would rather finish all of the chores and then do other things.

Ok, so maybe we do need some back story here. 

It was after that crazy hard week I was telling you about. Jordan was working nights and I pretty much turned into a zombie, because I can't sleep when he's not here.

By the end of the weekend the house was looking pretty rough.
But, you know. the usual. dishes in the sink, toys scattered everywhere. I was barely maintaining.
We both served at church that Sunday and were wiped. After we ate lunch at home, I didn't want to do another thing. I figured I'd clean in the evening and enjoy the day and rest during ruby's nap. I did clean up a little before when I sensed that's what he wanted to do. After getting lunch cleared and putting away a few toys, I just couldn't do any more. It could wait.

Jordan, on the other hand wanted to finish all of his chores. I mean, he's basically a machine. The man worked the entire night before. And then decided to do yardwork and wash the cars.

I think he tried his hardest to approach it in a way that was kind and loving. But, it just didn't work. I exploded. I was tired and already feeling a little down. I think he asked what we thought our cleaning roles were, but really wanted to ask, why does our house look like a disaster happened?

So, do you procrastinate, or do you like to get things done right away?

I'd also love to hear... 

Did you deal with cleaning issues as well as a new mother/newly married/roommate? Please tell me we're not the only ones that are getting in arguments over cleaning!
