I’m a good little housekeeper, which is why I’m not too ashamed of my dust bunnies, because I know mine aren’t as bad as some.  Today while Chibby napped, I opted to clean behind and underneath the couch. 

Sunday I’ll be serving tasty treats and wouldn’t want anyone to lose their appetite if they catch a glimpse of the filthiness that lurks behind.  It’s only been two months since I did this last but I thought I’d take you along.  Here’s the list of the finds which will no doubt shock, amaze, and horrify you! 

• a pine cone
• a football
• the missing shoe
• half of a baby Einstein board book
• ear cover thingy for the digital thermometer
• an antler headband
• 22 fruit snack wrappers
• several dust-bunnies large enough to scare a grown man
• 1 empty box of animal crackers
• Christmas throw
• a dirty diaper (just pee)
• 2 Little People and 1 Little People dog (to whom i have apologized profusely for the living conditions during their incarceration)
• a quarter
• wash rag
• and old sippy containing what was once juice 
• rubber ducky from the bathroom
• 3 power cords
• enough plastic groceries to fill a shopping basket
• and a sticky substance which began to stink and moan “oh what a world…what a world…” when sprayed with cleaner

The list was enough to make me wash my hands a dozen times and wish I could find the dustpan.  Happily enough I did not find any vermin or spiders so I say the operation was a success.  What’s lurking beneath your couch?
