Anyway, I looked toward the door of the room and realized a bat was out in the hallway/lobby swooping by the door of the room I was working in and then into the ladies restroom.....I did the 1...2....3....I NEED COURAGE count and ran and shut the door to the room I was in. Then I realized I needed to shut the door to the adjoining room because it was still ajar to the hallway as well.....so I ran in there and did the same thing. Both doors have windows in them, so I could still watch the bat from the security of my solitary confinement :) I watched it for a little bit and then called Brad and told him what was going on and to please come soon and remove the bat....actually it went more like this....he said, "Are you done already?" and I said, "Get over here NOW....there's a bat and I am stuck in here." we only live 4 minutes away....so I figured I was all good for a few minutes. At the end of my brief conversation with him I said, "You don't think it could get in here with me, right?" He said, "Well, it probably could, but it won't." (WHATEVER! NEVER SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!)
So, I had this wave of peace at that moment....like, I was thinking.... it's out there....I'm in here....both doors are shut....I'm just going to enter into my artistic zone and paint these cute little stars...and I even started thinking happy thoughts about the bat that couldn't bother me....like, oh he is probably just a sweet little creative bat and he is just curious to see what I am doing in here and I kept working on my stars and entering my ZONE....that is, until the bat decided to create it's new orbit around my head!!!!!

Get it? I like that one :)
I was up on a chair painting a star and it flapped right in front of my face.....so now I was confined into a small room with the bat because I had closed off all the exits that a human could fit through....I have no idea how it got in with me.....there was only the small opening at the bottom of the doors unless there was some kind of vent that I didn't think of. SO I SCREAMED A FEW TIMES quite loudly and ran with my star stencil and sponge through the building and into the parking lot of the church and just waited there for Brad....laughing at my really quick heartbeat, thinking how ridiculous it would be for someone to pull into the parking lot right then and find me there with a wet paint sponge and star stencil, and telling my heart to be still...haha!
I was staring at the REAL stars while I waited for Brad with my little star stencil and yellow paint all over my hands. Don't you love those moments when you are all freaked out and trying to self talk yourself to your happy place and then you just start laughing so hard about what actually happened and how you reacted and are still reacting :) I was kind-of scolding GOD for playing that prank on me, but He knows I love it deep down. It always feels like He is picking on me :)
....and would you believe that when Brad arrived to take care of the bat he couldn't find it.....MURPHY'S LAW, right!. He even questioned if it was my imagination..... HUSBANDS!
So, he grabbed my phone out of the room for me and we headed home....we pulled into the driveway and I realized I had also taken my computer with me because there was a picture I wanted to pull up to look at the design I liked....so we had to return to retrieve it. Brad ran in to get it and he was in there for a little while....then he came out and motioned that he had had an encounter with the bat too...
bat 0, Brad 1.....YES!.....I am not crazy!
BUT, there may be a fault in my stars :) When I jumped off the chair I am pretty sure I made one of them a shooting star :P I will not fix that by starlight, thank you very much :)
