let the housework pile up

It is INEXSCUSABLE how I can let the housework pile up. It directly reflects what is going on in my life. Occassionally you must just bite the big one, poor yourself a glass of ICED TEA and grab a garbage bag. As you pull the cushions off the couch you are amazed at what you find hidden in the nether realms. An AIR FRESHENER the cats knocked down, a SCREWDRIVER you have looked for forever, CIGARETTE LIGHTERS in abundance, empty PRESCRIPTION bottles, COMPACT DISCS you had been meaning to listen to, the toy from MCDONALDS your grandchild gave you weeks ago,your dogs favorite toy A Penguin of all things, and all the junk mail for a month. Now that you can sit on the couch in safety you must go tackle the litter box.
