Cleaning the House

We shoveled stuff under the couch.
Piles of it, until it was lumpy and the cushions rose in the air.
We shoved stuff under the refrigerator
But the mice shoved it back
This is when we fired the exterminator.

LOL! Oh dear. You know, I was thinking that I should pull out the refrigerator and clean back there because I have no idea what is going on in that long-deserted place. Hmmm...reminds me to clean out my ears, too.

I have to admit I do not remember the last time we deep-cleaned.
