So it's packing time for the Wellmans! I asked Jared to get some boxes down from the attic because after the first bat experience (of it flying through our house, hiding from us for 2 days, and taunting us every time we called someone to come and get it), I was not ready to experience another! Jared told me to get one of the boxes that was toward the bottom of the stairs since I wouldn't have to go up to the top of the attic. I asked if he would get the TV that was sitting on top of the one box I wanted to use to start packing because I was afraid I would drop it if I tried...our TV went out a few months ago and for some reason, we're still holding on to it! Anyway, as he picked that up, I went for the box and sat it in the hall way. I looked up the stairs to see what other ones I could grab while the door was open and there was a familiar creature on the bottom step. Bat #1... I said, "Jared, is that a bat," as I quickly shut the door a he tried to take a look. He said, "I'll open the door and you look to see if it's one." "Heck no...I already think it's one. I'll open the door and you look to see if you think it's one," I said. After going back and forth for a few minutes we finally found a reading light and I opened up the door enough for him to confirm that it was definitely a bat! Our neighbors downstairs came up to see and confirmed that we had another one 2 steps up and probably more further up in the attic. YUCK!!!
Needless to say, we left the boxes upstairs and began to pack with the very few boxes that we brought home from my parents house. We're waiting for our landlords to get back from vacation to figure out what to do with the bats and our stranded boxes! I sure as heck don't want to deal with either one!
