..there's a bat in mapboy's room!!!!!!
yes, i said that at about 11:45 last night. i HATE BATS!! i don't think i could emphasize that enough. but our dog hopped out of bed last night and ran into mapboy's room. mapboy was sitting up getting a drink. then he, oscar the dog, ran into princess's room. i was starting to get a little weirded out. our dog hears things i don't. he came back to bed and i was awake for a while. i thought i heard some strange sounds, but couldn't put my finger on it. i knew our windows were open so i kept thinking it was princess's door moving in the wind.
then i heard the frantic cries of mapboy, "MOM!!!! there's a bat in my room!" so i yell back that dad is coming. i woke hubby up. now, while i was actually quite scared i had to laugh at the dress shirt and amish hat hubby put on. he stood in the hallway pondering the event. we told mapboy to pull the covers over his head and stay put. princess was sleeping peacefully across the hall.
then we turned on the lights. i screamed, which most likely woke up princess. the bat was flying all over, oscar was barking and trying to catch it, i would scream, hubby was shut in the bathroom, and mapboy made a mad dash to our room. the kids and i huddled on the bed while oscar chased the bat all over the downstairs.
eventually, oscar came back to bed and we all slept happily in our room, with the hallway light on and our door shut. yes, i know the bat could squeeze through the door, but most likely would not return upstairs since the light was on.
princess was still awake at 1 so we switched spots. then at 3 mapboy needed to change places with me. then, hubby got up for a coffee meeting and i crawled back into bed.
whew...what a night!!!
we don't know where the bat is. the kids and i were very brave this morning and managed to look for it. we didn't see it much to everyone's relief. hubby and i know it is still lurking somewhere. so if anyone out there likes bats, come on over and join our fun!!!
