The Cleaning Debate

I love my husband a whole lot but some times we disagree on alot of things. (Yes that is normal in marriage.) Today was one of those days.

It started like this. Hubby "You know that kitchen needs to be cleaned before yall go on vacation so we can process those pigs while you are gone."

Me "Yes It is on my list today. I am going to wipe every thing down and degrease as I go."

Hubby " Ok go to the store and get me a sponge mop and some scrub pads."

Me "OK."

I come back to find he has taken the stove out of the cabinet and flipped the cabinet up side down to clean under it. This starts the discussion on wiping down and degreasing.  I say my kitchen is clean if there is no food on the counter, floor and ceiling. I also said I would do it.

I think the obsessive, compulsive bug bit my hubby in his butt today. He pulled out counters and cleaned under them, behind them, and then the walls and ceilings too.

My kitchen is now in my living room. The cabinets are back in place. The ceiling is clean, and I am having to wash all he dishes that were in the cabinet (minding their own business and not hurting any one) because he got degreaser all over every thing. (we have to do this by hand as we have no dish washer.)

He gets on to me for grease in my kitchen in nooks and crannies. UUMM it is a kitchen and that happens. Plus I do not have a vent hood for my stove. Hubby built my cabinets so I have no where to put one just yet.

To top all of this off when I said something about making a mistake telling hubby I was cleaning the kitchen today I get some one tweeting  me Bible Verses. @Waylandcook words, they are to obey their husbands as they would obey the Lord, in everything (Ephesians 5:24). http://fiys.s0.lt/0oMhM

By the end of the day I was ready to go off. I have cooled off a little now but now I am a few days behind and we leave for vacation in 9 days. I swear men do not think. He actually told me I had been slacking. UUMM There are only so many hours in a day and I can not spend them with a tooth brush in hand and cleaning under a stove. Just saying.
