The Winner is…Whatever I Say
A few weeks ago I decided that I should pick out blog nicknames for my kids. I need to be prepared in case Straitjackets are Slimming becomes an internet phenomenon (expected any day now), and at some point my children are going to object to me sharing their most embarrassing stories. While I am pretty ridiculously entertaining all by myself, they are definitely the stars of my life.
My plan is to use these names from now on and to eventually go back through old posts and change them. Editing old posts is something I’ve been wanting to do anyway. I’ve read lots of different reasons for leaving them as they are but those reasons don’t apply to me.
The best thing about blogging is this is my blog, my rules. It’s the only place in the whole world where I have total and complete control.
Because I have a problem with indecision I asked my readers to help out by voting on their favorite choices in a poll. I quickly discovered that my readers aren’t into voting on polls. I did tell Savannah about the choices (she is only allowed to read selected blog posts. I do make some decent parenting decisions) and told her that she could vote as many times as she wanted. She choose Wednesday and Puglsey and, big surprise, her choice beat out the others by a vast majority.
So the official winners are Wednesday and MC Bizzy J (it fits way better than Pugsley, my rules).
I am also reserving the right to change them whenever I see fit. To help keep things clear (I know it can get a little confusing around here) one day this week I will add a bio page for the kids, that will include all of their blog handles.

Hey, Bloggie Twin, I sat down a few months ago and had a list of cute names for the boys. Then it hit me, we/they are of Scotish descent and I chose MACS= sons of in gaelic. My oldest is Big Mac (ironically he DETESTS McDonald's) and my younger one is Jr. Mac. So I think names that protect our kids identities are pretty damn smart. Keep up the great work.

I think I'm sad its over. Maybe I'll do it again in December, we don't need Christmas. NoMoSlackMo (which I can't figure out how to link to here, does anyone know how?) starts in January, perfect because I can't afford to even leave my house in January. There's a button in the sidebar up near the top.

Did you get used to them like you did with their real names? I'm afraid I'll want to change them everyday. I can change them everyday, I feel very powerful.

Hun is there a program in your area through probably where you get medical cards and such that will help pay for daycare?? I know we have them here and all incomes can qualify. I think it bites that daycare that is decent costs an arm and a leg and they still come at ya for more…
