I think my husband may have his priorities bass ackwards. This past Sunday morning it was just myself and the kids home, my husband left out early in the morning to go out quad riding with my great friend shortmama's husband.
So I get up in the morning and everything is just fine and normal. I'm up and dressed, the kids are up and dressed, breakfast is done and the kids are outside playing. So I start to clean up the kitchen. One of my husbands cowboy hats is sitting on the counter so I go to take it into my room. And what do I come upon when I get into my room? There's a freakin' bat flying around all over the place in there.
So I calmly, yet quickly, shut my bedroom door. I head out the front door and around to the back door, which leads into my bedroom. I open the back door and see the bat still flying around like crazy. So I close the door again and get into a better position instead of standing right in front of the door and right in the path of its exit. I open the door again and see the bat hanging on the recessed lighting in the hallway. It sees its exit and goes about its business.
So of course I have to call shortmama and tell her what happened.
My husband got home around noon and I met him out back to tell him about our visitor. My first words to him were "Guess what I had to chase out of the house this morning?". He said "a bat". I said "Yep, you must've talked with shortmama already". And he said yes. But then it took him a few more minutes to tell me that the bat was actually in the house this morning before he left. He said that he didn't know how I didn't wake up because he had all the lights on in the room and was trying to catch the dang thing...with two of his cowboy hats. Oh, to only have seen what he looked like while doing this.
But...he couldn't catch it...and he didn't want to be late meeting up with shormama's husband...in which shortmama's husband was still in deep slumber anyways at home and was late for their meeting by 1/2 hour...so he left the rabid bat in the bedroom with his wife whom he loves so dearly...and that's when the fight started...
You were so calm. I would have been FREAKING out!!
ReplyDeleteI probably would have crapped my pants. I hate bats.
ReplyDeleteThis story still cracks me up...and makes me want to kick Jasons ass at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing at the picture of him trying to catch a bat with a cowboy hat.
ReplyDeleteDid I miss this one?? Why doesn't it sound familiar...? Weird. Anyway, you didn't wake up when he was trying to get it? Srsly, if my hubs wanted to leave BEFORE he caught it, I would have KILLED him.
ReplyDeleteUm, it sounded like you were really calm through all of that. Not me...nope, no how.
ReplyDeleteThat is so classic! I would have killed my husband. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteOh it would've been on!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a classic story - that someday he will be telling your grandchildren how "he saved you" from the bat, and you can correct the story.
PS. to beg forgiveness of my absence, i posted an award for you today.
