911? I'm grounded

So I got Mike a new phone for our anniversary. It got here yesterday so he gave Jercie the old one. First thing he told her was "Do Not call 911." He told her at least twice. Well we were in our room talking and Jercie comes down the hall bawling. Mom I called someone on accident. So I get on the phone and tell her that Jercie had accidentally called. She was like well this is the 3rd time we've gotten a call from this number. So I apologized, explained the situation and apologized again. Jercie was freaked out to say the least. I don't know if other phones work the same way, but if there isn't a sim card in the phone you can still make emergency calls if you push the call button twice. Nobody explained this to Jercie so she didn't understand how she was calling 911. Anyway a little while later Jercie comes in crying again the cops are here. So I answered the door, explained everything to the officer and made Jercie apologize for making him come all the way out to our house for nothing. Mike and I sat her down for a nice talk about choices and consequences. We also told her that she has until Wednesday to prove to us that she deserves Christmas. If she messes up again we're calling Santa and letting him know. She is also grounded to her room. She can read books but can't play with her toys. I know I'm a mean mom, but I have to teach her somehow and nothing else we've tried has worked. Hopefully this will sink in!

In other news, Blaze went looking for Easter Eggs (don't ask because I have no idea) and checked the closet in my bedroom where all of Christmas is stashed. I went looking for him and found him coming out of my room. I asked what he was doing and he told me. I asked where he looked and he told me. I.about.killed.him! I told him he better run. After the red had cleared and I was calm I went in to talk to him. I asked what he saw. Thank goodness he just saw the Operation game we were giving to the kids. I had to apologize and give him a big hug. I felt really bad for yelling.
