After coming home last night and unloading my car (I bought a chair for my new sewing area), Amelia kept saying to me "Mama. There's a bat up there!". I located my husband who was doing something in the basement and asked him if he told Amelia about our indoor visitor from the night before. He did not. Amelia, again, says to me - now with more urgency... Mama! There's a BAT up there! So I walk to where she's standing and asked her to show me. Sure enough, on the stairs, under Buddy the cat's paw... is another bat. I asked her if she touched it. She told me she didn't but we washed hands anyway and my husband scooped it up and threw it in the outdoor wood boiler we have. It was pretty much dead (or so he tells me).
Again, we put Amelia to bed and I start on my evening chores... ironing some clothes foro myself and Amelia for the next day and pressing some muslin that I need to use this evening. I hear my husband say... SH*T! Not again! There's yet ANOTHER bat in the house. Thankfully he caught it.
He's working tonight. I told him that if I see another bat, I'm calling him to come home and deal with it. I'm not touching it! He also has strict orders to remove the A/C unit from the house. I'm sure that's where the bats are living. I will buy another air conditioner next summer.
I'm tired of hosting "Animal Kingdom" in my house already!
Enjoy your day!
