Ok, everyone who knows me understands I’m like a bull in a china shop.  Usually I’m falling though in Romania.  This time I’ve outdone myself. This happened on my first night at House of Angels.

I went to the bathroom, normal procedure, although it was lights out and it had been so long since I’ve stayed in the orphanage that I forgot that the light switches are arms length above my head.  I couldn’t find the switch anywhere.  I really had to go!   ha   I searched high and low.   I forgot my most coveted packed possession is my flashlight for this very thing.   Duh!   I remembered I came back to get it and backed into the fridge in Gelu’s office, and bumped a glass….ut oh!  In my bathroom frienzy…Yes, I have proven yet again, Murphy’s Law.  Either that or my rear end is way too big still!   Huge crash…glass flying everywhere.   The lights are very dim here at night so I can’t find a broom and I know there is a closet somewhere.

I have to pull a nurse away from the babies and point and grunt my best charades with her to find a broom…luckily charades is one of my favorite games  🙂  I didn’t learn the name of a broom in Romanian, but I’m thankful it isn’t one like the grannies use out on the streets!  Those look like what you would see in a Halloween commercial, handmade even!  The nurse was thoughtful enough to hand me the dustpan so I’m set.  I had to take a pic of it first though.  Shame on me.   Please don’t tell Gelu. He’ll kill me!
