Following on from the apparent success of Internet connection problems, I bring you Part 2 of this open ended series in which I make more excuses for not writing a proper post like:
- We’ve had some prolonged power outages
- I left my laptop in my other pants, and,
- The dog ate my laptop
In future instalments of this series I’ll telling further outrageous lies like:
- The cheque’s in the post,
- Yeah, yeah, of course I love you, and,
- Oh Honey, I love your new hair style
Heee heee! 
What a week!
Snot
The children were off school all last week for their Autumn break, which combined nicely with three of them being ill (as previously mentioned (several times 
)). The sleepless nights and snot fest continued unabated for the entire week.
Phew. They’re back at school now and thankfully the mucus has all dried up, although I’m still finding snail’s trails everywhere.
NBOTW
I started and ended my reign as NBOTW over at Blogging Without A Blog. Thank you Barbara!
This week’s NBOTW is Think Maya and reminds me that I’ve barely had time to read or comment on other blogs lately and it makes me a bit sad 
Congrats Maya, I’ll be stopping by a little later to catch up.
Halloween
I was bullied in to celebrating Halloween by Tara and Dave and I’m glad I caved in like the lily livered spineless jellyfish that I am.
We had great fun with badly carved pumpkins and some costumes for the kids. We didn’t dwell on the scary aspects of Halloween but we did turn the lights off and party by candlelight. I baked a great Halloween cake which for all the world looked like a regular cake, but I put some dark icing on it and slapped a plastic bat on top. Voila, Halloween Cake. 
I’m 40!
BloggerDad who writes about humor and poo, stuff and whatnot outed me on Saturday. No, my marriage and four kids are not an elaborate smoke screen to provide a façade of heterosexuality. No, I turned 40 years old on Saturday and I’ll probably write about it provided the dog doesn’t actually eat my laptop.
Thanks Dave BloggerDad Wright (39yrs) and thanks to everyone else who wished me a Happy Birthday.
Tag
While my back was turned I got tagged by Tim Atkinson another Stay At Home Dad who writes ‘Bringing Up Charlie’. It looks like Tim is set to become a published author with ‘Writing Therapy’. Come on Tim, do tell us more.
Tim really takes the biscuit when it comes to finding excuses not to blog. He recently threw himself down the stairs and broke his hand. Lame Tim. Very lame.
I’ll come back to the tag during the next power outage scheduled for next Monday.
Baby Gates
My youngest daughter at 22 months has been walking for a couple of months now. I know she’s a late starter but she’s really making up for it now.
Because she’s quite old (relative to babies who walk at 12 months) she’s quite tall, so not only can she get everywhere, she can also reach everything. Our other three children made a gradual progression toward being able to reach all the dangerous and valuable things but the youngest just sprung it on us and I wasn’t prepared.
For the last two months I’ve been chasing her around the house and feeling harassed.
So while I was slacking off from blogging this weekend I was able to reposition and refit some of our baby gates to limit my daughter’s access around the house. Calm has now been restored.
Guest Post
Following my recent guest post at Tara’s blog (From Dawn Till Rusk) entitled Dave Fowler Rocks My World, He Can Rock Yours Too , I’ve got another guest post looming later this week at another fabulous blog. I link to it once it’s published.
It’s all so exciting. Woo hoo!
Fitness
I’ve been threatening for the last two months to continue my fitness and fatloss campaign. I’ve been stalling on this deliberately because the opportunity of a collaboration presented itself. The opportunity was far too good to turn down, hence the delay.
Although it’s still a work in progress the launch of this project is imminent.
I can’t wait to get started!
The End
Hehe. I shall post again on Thursday.
Thanks
Dave.
