First things first, Mrs. Flinger had beautiful Baby O this weekend via emergency c-section! The little guy was three weeks early and he’s in the NICU. Stop by her blog and wish the family well.
Second, I’ve been tagged by Mom of 2 and Wife of 1 for a meme and since I seem to have a hard time deciding what pressing issue of the day to blog about, this seems like a good opener.
