so i guess last night was the championship of college football. we had no reason to watch it at our house....even if ohio state is a big ten team. there was way too much excitement at our house; football could not compete!!!
it was monday, the last day before heading back to school. the kids and i spent the day playing with some friends. got home and i tried to get some work done. mapboy had lost most of his privlidges for the day so this was proving to be a bit difficult. hubby arrived home and after a brief confrontration from mapboy he was sent to his room without supper! i know, harsh, but totally needed last night. i thought to myself...this could be a long night!!!!
after supper we got the dishes done and i headed off to the church meeting. always exciting!! pastor's daughter was leaving at 3:00 am this morning to fly to egypt so he was in a hurry to get through the meeting, get home to spend time with her, and of course to get some sleep before waking up in the middle of the night. i was home again by 8:30!!!
all was quiet. hubby and i sat and talked while music played. it was wonderful, peaceful, and so enjoyable. oscar, our dog, was sitting at his feet. apparently, hubby had let oscar out to potty. he didn't seem interested in coming back in. for our dog, wet muddy grass is a not a favorite so this seemed unusual. hubby looked out to see him tossing something around outside!! sure enough our little weiner dog had done his job and caught himself a mole!!!!!! a LARGE MOLE!!! so hubby had to wrestle the dog away from it and toss the mole. fun times!!!! i loved the story and praised the dog while hubby looked at me with frustration!!
as the storm came in mapboy woke up. it didn't help that every fire/ems truck our city owns was honking and blaring it's sirens outside our house. after about 15-20 minutes i got him calmed down. we tried to watch the weather, but it was a football game! hmm....well let's just go to bed!!
so i head upstairs, find mapboy asleep in our bed. i carry him back to his room and when i do i hear our basement door slam shut! odd.....we are in a flood watch, and since we have a cellar basement we sometimes get some water in there. figuring hubby is just checking the water level i crawl into bed. when he finally comes up he announces that he has found a bat in the basement. not just a bat, but a VERY LARGE BAT!!!! this begins a long discussion of how to keep it in the basement. are there any holes in the floor that one could squeeze through? will it get into our duct work? is it safe to cover the return air vents? how do we get rid of it? do we have animal control in our county?? after much discussion we decided to leave all the lights on downstairs, the stairway light, and the bathroom light at the top of the stairs. that should keep him down in the basement. we hope!!!
so of course the dog wants up in the middle of the night, mapboy wakes up with the next round of storms, and hubby is freaked about the bat in the basement. needless to say, it was not a calm, quiet, restful night around here. with the recent scare of rabid bats i'm a little freaked out myself! oh, who am i kidding? bats totally freak me out rabies or not!!! so the lights will all stay on for the day until we figure out how to get rid of it!! any ideas??!?!??? oh..and who won the game???
