oh dakota…

dakota kai has this thing where she only likes playing with things that she shouldn’t.  ie, cell phones, remote controls, glasses, medicine bottles, playstation controllers, etc.  well earlier today she had both my cell and the remote in her grasps.  she kept changing the channel on the tv, so i decided to just let her keep my cell phone and i’d take the remote.

how many of you can guess how much of a great idea that was?

i have the phone set so it automatically locks.  i made sure that before i actually ALLOWED her to play with the cell that she would not be able to mess with it.  well, of course, somehow she was able to unlock it.  i was watching the tv and i notice that i hear a little voice talking next to me where dakota was.  the brat freaking called someone!  i didn’t look at who it was because i was super embarrassed to.  so i just said, “i’m SO sorry” and hung up.

let me add before i conclude the story that when dakota is not happy she will show it.  she has a hard time actually grabbing my phone so when she can’t, she’ll get frustrated and whine.  if it gets really irritating for her, she might actually start to cry (acting cry.  not tears-rolling-how-her-cheeks cry).  this time she was crying.

after i hang up, not even 5 seconds later i get a call back.  IT’S THE FREAKING 911 DISPATCHER!  holy crap!  the man had an alarmed tone.  i guess he didn’t hear me apologise earlier since i didn’t actually have the phone up to my face when i said it.  so all he heard was someone crying and the line being cut off.  oh god…  i had to explain what happened.  he was totally cool about it luckily and he just double checked to see if everything was ok.

geez.  i was so embarrassed.  i remember the first time i called 911 as a joke.  i ended up with a police at my door and a lecture for my parents.  it would’ve sucked if that happened again because a mischievous 6 month old was pissed that she couldn’t pick up a damn phone.  oy…  i need to find a kids-safe toy that closely resembles an expensive electronic.  don’t want that to happen EVER AGAIN.

DERP!

“you will need the witch’s cabin key” 20/05/2010

in other news, life’s been going really good!  i’m having a blast being a mother even with my lack of sleep on occasion (oh baby schedules!).  i keep trying to imagine her crawling and walking and everything.  she’ll probably be doing it super fast.  she’s already trying to push herself up to crawl.  such a strong baby!  she’s also been waking up around 6 every morning just to play.  she’s so giggly!  i wish i could squeeze her with love without fear of harming her internal organs.  xD  love love LOVE her!

been considering getting her “your baby can read”.  is that too consumer whore-y of me?  i want to see if it works and i want her to like reading more than i did (i hated reading as a kid because i had trouble with it).  i found a place on ebay that’s selling it for $70 which the original is $200 minus shipping.  it doesn’t have all the extras, but i’m sure i won’t need all that.  just the basics.  because of the price, i’m super tempted now.  i’m going to run the idea back and forth.  i just might do it.  ^^;  just might.

1st mother’s day 11/05/2010

it wasn’t too much different than say a birthday.  you don’t feel much different.  but then you remember why you celebrate that day:

medicaid 29/04/2010

let me tell you how much i hate dealing with government programs.

i hate it a lot.

so glad though because i just finished reapplying for the benefits i was wrongly denied for and i apparently got Little Star’s medicaid worked out…kinda.

oh.  btw, i had my baby.  xD
i just haven’t made a post on here about that yet.  the little rutabaga will have pictures and a formal post soon!  being a mommy and responsible adult is hard.  D=
