Bats..

So, as I said a couple posts ago, I recently moved into a house with two of my friends.  Everything has been fine there for the past couple of weeks..  Well, I was laying in my room with my boyfriend late at night on Wednesday.. when my best friend Chelsey ran into my room screaming.  We had a bat.  If you know me at all, you know that I am a big baby when it comes to spiders, bugs, or anything creepy.  This includes bats (not that I've ever dealt with one before)  and my roommates aren't much better, and unfortunately, my boyfriend is about as scared as I am when it comes to that stuff (Sorry Loge, its true).   Well, long story short.. we got rid of the first bat (it flew out on its own) We slept at my boyfriend's apartment because we were terrified anyway. 

Thursday night, another bat.   This one was pretty small..  A friend we had come over ended up killing him (I didn't like the thought of killing it, but he would NOT get out of the house).   This is what it looked like... Alive, and then not so alive.   These pictures were taken on my camera by my roommate, Jodie.  I refused to get close to it. 



So after we got rid of this smaller bat, we were all hanging out in our livingroom when a GIANT bat three times the size of the other two start swooping and doing laps in our livingroom.  I wish I could say I was brave and helped the situation.. but instead, I jumped into the chair next to me with my roommate Jodie, clutching her and screaming as it got closer and closer to us.  It finally flew out of our house.. but we haven't slept in our house for three nights now.  I'm currently at my parents house which is of course bat free.   Our landlords came and patched some holes, and now we have to "wait it out" and see if any more come before they call an exterminator.  Needless to say.. I am not at ease with the situation.

Let's hope we don't have to deal with anymore of these not so cute creatures.. but if we do, I'll try and get some more pictures!
