A Wisdomous Week

Posted by Jess on Jun 4, 2013 in Essentially IBOT, Essentially Jess | 52 comments

I’ve had a week. Not a good week, and not a bad week, just a week. A week that was tiring and exhausting and draining and yet successful and exciting all at once. A week that had me giggling over the ridiculous, and bawling over the non existant. Just a week. Towards the end of last week, I kind of shut down. Again, I’m not a hundred percent sure why, but I did. Didn’t want to see people, talk to people or even check facebook or twitter. It all got too much and I just...

Parents of the world!!! I bring you good news of great joy!! The information I am about to impart, will revolutionise your life, if, and only if, you follow it to the letter.* Over the past number of weekends, I have been engaging in a anthropological study of epic proportions. Well the study itself has not been so epic, but the results certainly are. I’ve been working on how to guarantee, a Saturday sleep in. And I think, I have the answer. image credit Now if your home is anything like...

Dear Ava

Dear Ava, Sometimes, mummies on the Internet write really lovely letters to their offspring. They are full of kind words, and whimsical reflections and will provide a beautiful history to look back on in the future. This is not one of those letters. Yes I do love you, very much. You are full of personality and gumption and a degree of craziness that obviously proves you came from my body. You’re very cute. Obviously. I mean look at that face. You’re also very smart which bodes well...

Autocorrect Fail #3 I give up.

Posted by Jess on May 17, 2013 in Essentially Jess, Essentially Random | 26 comments

I give up. I once held a lofty dream, of never being made a fool of by Auto Correct, and yet I doubt this will ever happen. Ever. I’m fairly certain that Siri and all her apple friends have tapped into my products and purposely changed words on me just for a giggle. She even did it in this sentence, but I caught it in time! (Take that Siri!!!) I have been her helpless victim, time and time and time again. And yes. All those blue words on the time are links to all my published fails....

Every Day is Mothers Day

I think I must becoming cynical in my old age, cause this year I am a bit ‘meh’ about mothers day. And to be honest, I think I’ve been getting this way every since the very first one where I was actually excited to be a mother for the first time ever. It’s not for the usual reasons; you know the ones where we mums complain that what’s the point of having a day dedicated to us, when we still have to do everything anyway. That’s just fairly stock standard, and part of life. I’m ok with that. ...
