I hate this quarantine - trying to explain to a 4 year old he can't come to the shops with me. Our weekly treat from the Golden Arches hasn't been happening. No playground or seeing his friends at Nursery. It's heart breaking. And walking the dog once a day is just not enough. He is getting so frustrated, I am trying so hard to come up with new things and so is his dad. But as we are key workers, sometimes the frustration just gets too much ( me especially as I work nights ). But like everyone, sit tight, hang in there because if we all play by the rules, we will be back to 90% normality !! Thank you for all your blogs, helps me wind down after a hectic day.

From my understanding Asa is correct, the federal government can say one thing but it's up to each individual state of what they want to do.

[@john0919681]

@Jordyn RIn most cases, but not this one.

[@aimes2011]

Jordyn R Federal law can declare a level and states can be stricter, but not less strict. So if federal law says you can go out for school, states can still choose not to allow it, but they cannot open things up looser than the government. That is how our laws usually work, anyway. It’s like the federal minimum wage. States can set a higher minimum for their state, but not lower.

Abbie did fantastic with her speech activities today. I think it really blew the speech therapist's mind to hear Abbie saying OK. I am very excited to see if she will do it again. We had some of the disposable masks and they too open some at the sides. Carl (hubby) tried to make some cloth ones and they too did that. Thanks, Asa for showing how you are tightening the mask. I will have him watch this so, he can fix the ones he made. It is sad that it has come to this but, wearing them helps keep people safe.

Asa my father was a sewer & did sewing in our house when I was younger. He helped me make my 8th grade home ec project it was a pillow. That was in 1985.

You doing all the arts & crafts sewing of the masks & all the other projects that you do so remind me of him. Thank you .
