I'm a Big Girl Now:

I managed to get a bat out of my house all by myself last night.

I had drifted into a semi-slumber while watching 60 Minutes- Baby suddenly jumped up on my TV and was staring intently at the corner of the living room. I noticed a dark spot hanging from the molding that rings the ceiling....eeek!

Genius that I am, I attached a curtain shear to the end of my broom and chased him till he fell to the floor- I then dragged the shear with him under it to the front door and out he went, chattering at me all the way. Bats are cute, but creepy!

Very proud of myself this morning- glad I didn't have to kill him, call the Humane Society, or lock myself and the cats in my bedroom all night and hope he just went away.
