My excitement for the year...

I woke up around 4:30 this morning to a strange noise. It sounded like something hitting the window. I rolled over and opened my eyes and about peed myself when I realized there was a freaking bat flying around my bedroom!! I immediately pulled the blanket up over my head and started thinking about what the heck I was going to do. I've NEVER seen a bat in my house before...not this one and not when I still lived at home. I thought about yelling for Doug (he sleeps on the couch), but I knew I would wake the kids up and scare them. Then I remembered I had my cell phone upstairs, so I grabbed it and called our landline, lol. I had to call twice before Doug answered (the first time he was probably thinking it was just a crank call). I told him there was a bat flying around "up here" and he asked where I was...um, duh? LOL. I said, "In my bedroom!" He said he'd be up. By the time he got upstairs, it "disappeared". No idea where it went. He said hopefully it left the way it came in. I doubt it.

I laid there for awhile, having to go pee, but afraid to get up. Wanting to go to sleep, but afraid it would come back. LOL. Finally after about 15 minutes, I crept slowly out of bed to go to the bathroom. After getting back in bed, I laid awake for a little longer until I felt "safe" and then went back to sleep. Can I tell you I am absolutely dreading bedtime tonight??? And from now on I am always going to be afraid of a reoccurence. Especially after being told by some online friends to watch out for rabies or other diseases. OMG. :::freaking out:::

When we went on vacation 3 weeks ago I got dive bombed in THE FACE by a Bat. I was sitting in front of the door of the hotel with Faith because she couldn't sleep. Andrew was out there drinking a beer and watching the impending storm. And BAM!!! Right into my face! It wasn't huge, but I freaked the hell out!!! SOOO scary, so I totally feel you. They are scary as hell!

That is some excitement. Hope the bat stays gone. I love seeing them, but love seeing them outside. Hope you have a great day. Blessings,

LOL I seriously can't believe that. Jarrett just got bit by a bat almost a month ago. He had to have 8 shots the first day at the ER. Tetnus (spelling??) and Rabies Vaccine and Rabies Globulin shots too. Then he had to go 4 other times on different dates to get more rabies vaccines. LOL He's gonna have his last dose next Thursday. Not a fun thing. I'm sure the bat in your house was a fluke, I'm sure it won't return. It happens sometimes I hear..never to me, but to other ppl I know. I'm sure you'll be safe from disease. Good luck to ya
Oh by the way this is Kristy
