Monsters Under The Bed

I never put anything under my bed. I have never put anything under my bed since I was five and feared those nasty little green monsters that jump up and bite you if any of your extremeties go over the side of the bed. Why would I give those monsters a comfy home? Nope - it's always bare under my bed.

Lately I've been keeping a set of weights under one corner of the bed (right next to the edge) and a shoe buddy under the other corner. When I clean my room I usually have a lovely pile of garbage under my HUSBAND'S side of the bed (I keep a garbage can under his table and I swear he misses 80% of the time and never bothers to pick it up), but I only move the whole bed once a year to vaccuum under it.

I was cleaning my room today and smelled a dead mouse. I couldn't find it anywhere - even after I cleaned up the mound of trash under my husband's side of the bed. So I moved the whole bed.

You would not BELIEVE all the stuff that was under there! All my missing shoes were under there, a bunch of DISHES were under there, every dog toy in the entire house was under there. My missing bath scrubby that I couldn't find and bought a replacement for was under there torn to shreds, as well as SEVERAL items of dirty clothes....mostly socks. I can only guess that my lovely new additions (the two puppies, now 8 months old) are using under MY bed as some kind of lair where they keep all their crap! I could not BELIEVE I was sleeping over all that mess!

So I cleaned it aaaaaaaaall up (I did find that dead mouse) and I put smelly powder down and vaccuumed the whole thing and NOW I have to remember to check under there occasionally because adding the two pups has given me basically another bedroom to clean! LOL

I wonder what they think of it now that it's all clean and bare like it's supposed to be? HaHa who knew I would bring REAL monsters to live under my bed? LOL
