After decades of volleyball and recent poor exercise decisions, I succumbed to rotator cuff surgery. This meant that I stayed home a week from school, and my arm will be in a sling for a month. As my friend Jon said, "Parenting singlehandedly!"

| Does this sling make me look fat? |
But this week, at least, I have some helpers besides Maceo and Cassius. My mom and Maurice have moved in for the week! They are cooking, parenting, dropping kids at school and picking them up, and more!

Tonight, with "Hakuna Matata" playing, we are all making frittata for dinner.

I was in a similar fix, maybe even a worse one, decades ago, when you were five, Nick, and I was parenting singly in Vermont. Our next-door-neighbor broke my ankle with her car, and I had to be on crutches. No Grandparents handy, but you and I managed. I sat on a stool at the stove while you brought me ingredients for dinner, for example.
