"I am Amy S. When I got married, I was already an Amy S. Then I married Josh S. and after much deliberation and gnashing of the teeth, changed my name. Legally, I am Amy S.S. Which sounds all feminist and empowering, but really just makes my initials ASS. We have a son, Jackson, who was born in February 2006; a daughter, Emily, who joined us in January 2008; and a daughter, Maeven, who burst onto the scene in December 2009."  For inspiration and parenting humor visit SnarkyMommy.com.
