You don’t know how close I came to posting:  “This space to be used for most awesome flash fiction ever!  Stay tuned!”  But I didn’t.  Here’s my flash.  Nothing to write home about but it’ll do:

P.S.  This is not at all intended to be a negative commentary on FitMom.  I’m sure they have a lovely product, especially for new moms.
