Bats in the Belfry

[Beach Goddess]

I am soooo FREAKING scared of bats!
Being a good mother(well, at least I TRY to be) I once went down to the Congress St. bridge in Austin to watch the million or so bats leave for the evening. YARGH!! It was the worst. I was on the river bank because I thought it would be out of the batzone. WRONG. They flew just over my head. I was just sure I would be covered in guano.

Do you have a wreath on your door that it could have been hiding in, then when Fyl opened the door, it flew in. This happened to me, except it was a bird.

it's been over a year ago, our hospital went to totally non-smoking. a patient in one of the back halls opened his window to sneak a puff on the 6th floor and a bat flew in the window about 3 a.m. that was exciting for the nurses and security !

Poor Mermy!! We had a bat come in through the attic vent once. Scared me good. My husband was out of town and I called Daddy. He came over and we gently ushered the lil lost bat out. Things were so much calmer with Daddy there. I was ready to swat it with a tennis racket before he got there. Sorry animal lovers, I was young and scared, that's all I can say in my defense. Not at all brave like Pyl.

Well, actually, not in the belfry, but in the bedroom.

Mermaid! I think perhaps the mouse in the spare bedroom sprouted wings and flew into your bedroom! :funn:

Bats are so cool. I love them. We have a security light on our driveway. I love to sit out on my deck at night right at dusk and watch them fly around the light eating the mosquitos. They are such neat animals. Now, Mermy, however I don't think that I would like them in my bedroom though.

I was being chased around my bedroom by a massive cockroach the other day, it was amazingly fast and I was screaming my head off. could not go to bed until it was dead. but I think the bat would be scarier...

by the way jdarg we have massive cockroaches in Florida and they just walk in your house whenever they want.
