Humming bird in the house!

So this past Friday a Humming bird flew into the house! Jovie had been playing out in the garage because I was working and I couldn't go outside with her at the time. She came in and the door to the house (from the garage) got left open. She said mommy, there's a Humming bird in our living room. At first I didn't think anything of it. I was concentrating on my work just trying to get done so I could play with her & go to the store. I said something like oh wow. That's nice. Then I looked up & there was an actual Humming bird in our living room!!!!! I thought o.k., we need to open the doors. Surely, this cute little Humming bird will see the outside and fly right out. Right? So, I was busy trying to get the back door open, I yell to Jovie to open the front door, she does. Then I hear, mommy, the Humming bird just flew up-stairs.. Oh wow!!! umm, ok, what do I do now?? I'm thinking to myself. I know I'll txt George! He'll know what to do! I txt, no txt back. hmmm... I hear, mommy, the Humming bird just flew into your room. Ok, I can handle this. Let me try one more txt.. George the humming bird is in our room! What do I do? In the mean time, I take a broom upstairs, thinking that I can help "shoo" it out. I open the windows & the screen & say here birdie, see the window? Come on birdie! Fly out the window.. Nope! the stupid bird is hitting it's head on the ceiling! pop! pop! pop! it's freaking out! I'm shaking so bad, just wondering if it's going to attack me.. I'm trying to figure out something to "scoop" it up with. I find a white, hard plastic container and a gift bag, o.k. I admit not my brightest moment, but I need something to get this bird out of my bedroom! Feathers are going everywhere! This dumb bird keeps hitting the ceiling! thump, thump, thump! I'm trying to catch it. Every time I go for it, it freaks out even more & flies away. (by this time, I have shut my door & the closet & bathroom door). I decide to get on the bed, even though I'm afraid the bird is going to attack my hair. I think this will get me closer to it. Jovie is asking if we can keep it once we catch it. She's also looking at me like I'm a crazy woman. Then she wants to know if we can feed the stupid bird! I'm sweating and out of breath! Are you serious??? Feed this thing?? I say no, we can't feed it. It likes sugar water and I don't have time to make it right now. Well, mom, do we have sugar? I can go down and get some. (she is such a sweetie!) I have to tell her no. I have to get this bird out of here. Still no word from George! UUUUUGGGHHHH!!! I'm about to give up! I just want to cry, when I spot my 2 soft cowgirl hats!! I think these might work! I just about fall off my bed, my knees are like jello, I grab my hats the bird comes close I go for it and miss.. it comes close again I put the hats together & I got it! I got it, wait really?? I got it! YAY!! YAY!! I got it! Out the window that little Humming bird goes!!!!! finally! That thing uuuggghhhh! So frustrating! Who knew humming birds were so dumb?? ha! ha! ha!!!
