Breakthroughs & Breakers

Breakthrough....
BEFORE: Princess would ONLY go in the shallow (1 foot) pool outside, and not even sit down in the water.
AFTER: I got her in the deep end, with her water wings on (holding on for dear life on my shoulders at first). And by the time we were done, she was jumping into the deep end by herself, and swimming across the deep end with the help of water wings. She kept repeating "Tudok...Tudok" (I can do it). So proud of her!!

Breakers
We not only blew the electrical breaker today and blew the power out in several places across the building, but apparently we have a water breaker of some sort, and the cold water went out first, then the hot water went. That was after the maintenance guy had already been here to change a light bulb.

This time he didn't come in his speedo though, so it was actually a pleasant visit.

Funny inside joke: he only knows the word "moment" and will sometimes come back 4 hours later after he says that...so now we refer to a long wait as a Hungarian Moment.

  1. LOL, that is just too funny Mel, you blew the breakers !!! i'm really rolling laughing reading your encounters. As far as time goes, when I visited Serbia, it was the same thing. A moment could last hours, no one was ever in a rush and all they could say when we were looking for gas to put in the car was 'Nema Problema'...only to find out hours later after calling the local gas stations that the fuel was indeed all gone....
