and I thought my day was hetic

Brewers, KY(Zone 6b)

My neighbor would just die if she knew I was telling the world on her...but yall, this is so funny I just had to share it.

My neighbor cracks me up, she is the mother of 4 small girls ages ranging from 9 to 1&1/2, they have an assortment of animals that share the house and back yard. Their house is always full of life at any given time. Today was no different. They left their home this a.m. to run a few errands,kids and husband in tow. It was a dreary day here, rain and chilly. So, when she left she let the outside dog stay inside, she felt bad about putting him out in the rain. Upon her and her families return, Buddy the dog was happy to greet them at the back gate...knowing very well she had left Buddy inside, this meant one thing: the back door had been opened and Buddy let himself out. Now Buddy letting himself out isn't so bad, but Buddy shares the backyard with a pet pig (see where I am going with this?)You got it, Sophie the pig let herself in. Sophie made herself at home because as a piglet she lived inside. She knew where all the goodies were kept. At some point she opened up the pantry door and helped herself to a few things that she could reach. The pig turned over the garbage can all over the kitchen floor and helped herself to yummy garbage scraps. Then she trugged down the hall, helping herself to the case of beer that they bought for the company that was coming over. The pig managed to open and drink a couple of beers. Mind you, as I said, it was rainy today, so muddy hoof prints gave way to her pillage. After much eating, drinking and merry making, Sophie pig decided that a nap was needed. She then went into the ONLY room in the house that had carpet...yup, made a nice little nest in the closet and slept off her drunk. My neighbor finds all this mess and panics because her mom is coming over shortly to spend the night. The guest room is the room the pig napped in. She and her girls began crawling on their hands and knees looking for wet spots on the carpet and poop, hoping not to find vomit..LOL!(Sophie used to eat soap and throw up on a regular basis when she lived inside) As of when I talked to her, none of the above was found, but there still was panic mode. I dared not tell her about my day, at this point, her story made my day sound pretty good.

So, the next time you have a hetic day, just remember, someone is having an even more hetic day...LOL..oh yeah, forgot to mention, they were waiting on the plumber to come over to fix a "small plumbing problem"...I'll spare yall that story.
