June and Ward Cleaver do NOT live here

Claire had a friend spend the night on Friday. She had a great time! I also had fun. The girls and I painted their nails and talked (very informative for me and them). The little girl is a vegetarian, so Claire and I were educated on the choice to be a vegetarian. You should have seen Claire's "matter of fact" expression as she stated that God placed animals here on earth for us to eat. She is so confident that she is correct on all matters! Anyway...

The little girl also asked a lot of questions about my job at home, and Justin's job here. I told her I was a pharmacist, but she didn't know what that was. I explained that we give the medicine to people when they are sick, and sometimes we make the medicine, etc.

Her mother came on Saturday morning to get her. I was upstairs on the phone and didn't hear the doorbell. Justin went to the door in his normal "just out of bed attire" (no shirt), and opened the door for the mom. He yells for me to come downstairs. (His tone was that he was frustrated and what could I be doing that was more important than answering his call...you can imagine). I angrily yelled back that I was on the phone and that I was not coming downstairs. Then he told me that I had company. You can imagine how EMBARRASSED I was. I barely knew the mom and I was arguing with my husband in front of her. You should also know that she has five kids, and is very 'laid back.' I am SURE there is no yelling at their home. UGH!

Later in the day on Saturday, I had to talk to the mom again. She quickly asked me if I work. I said not here in Denver, but at home I do. She quickly asked me what I do. (It was a little odd how random the question was). Anyway, I told her that I am a pharmacist. She burst into laughter. Obviously, she was relieved because her daughter told her that I was a DRUG DEALER!!! Can you imagine this mom. My husband answers the door half-naked, she saw me yelling at my husband and now she thinks I am a Drug Dealer. I am sure we made a great impression.

I laughed and told her that June and Ward Cleaver do not live here. We are the REAL DEAL ...living in the trenches!! LOL!
