Why, as a parent, do we lose it with our children? Is it because of the stresses that we deal with day in and day out? Could it be from frustration due to the lack of time that we have in the afternoon? Could it be from anger that is already there due to the failures in our lives? Could it be just plain evil at work in our lives?

I don’t know the answer but I can guarantee you that I have been there too many times. I hate myself for snapping at my son for minor things. The words come out of my mouth straight into the ears of an eight year old boy’s heart. You know the type of words that I’m talking about. As soon as the words roll off the tongue you’re already thinking, why did I say that? Damage is done. You can never take those words back either. You might be able to ease the pain but you can never take them back. Every negative word chips away the self-esteem that they are working so hard to build. I hate myself for being this way. If I knew the answer to the riddle I could change my ways. But with every answer there is another riddle. Would I change, could I change? If I could change how would I change? If I didn’t punish my son would he turn out ok or will he become spoiled? If I didn’t snap would life be different? Spare the Rod Spoil the Child, right? Is this just my problem or is this common amongst other parents? Could it be something from my childhood that is causing me to act out this way?

That’s it; I’ll just blame my parents. Now I feel better about everything.

Feed back is welcome but just don’t give any.

I’m not sure what to do next. I am using Antispam software for my blog and it works 98% of the time. But I guess the spammers have stepped it up a notch lately because I am still getting some trickle in comments promoting anything from viagra to exlax. I was looking around to see what other people are doing to prevent spam comments on their blogs, it’s funny what you find.

Here are a few links to what I have found:
Spammers Suck

Blog Spammers Take Aim at Google

Blog spammers use new trick

The Blog Spammers have won — goodbye referrers

Down with Blog Spammers

If you notice the last link dates back to 2003. Spamming of blogs has a history that probably starts back in the late 90’s, like 1999. This guy claims to have started it all by coming up with the word “weblog” for the first time ever. Peter Merholz

I don’t know when it all really started but I can tell you I am ready for the spamming to end.

It’s been a while since my last blog, my apologies. With the Christmas Holidays and New Year passing hopefully things will get back to normal around here, if there ever was such a thing. I have been very busy over the past three weeks. Preparing for all the company that we had over the holidays and all the end of the year work that I had come rolling in for my personal company. Now, I just hope that I can get back into the grove of things. Take it easy when I can and make all the extra money possible. I want to pay off all my bills…haha. That is seriously my goal, all jokes a side. I want to get my family into a comfortable financial situation…the American dream I suppose. I also want to loose about 60 pounds, that way I will just be fat, not a fat ass. My clothes have decided that they didn’t want to fit anymore. Mari and I bought a treadmill for our Christmas gift. I have used it once so far but she has used it a few more times. Understand that we just got it Sunday afternoon.

Later, more to come.
