Let’s be real. Times are a little scary. There is a lot of uncertainty. People are confused as messaging is getting distorted as we all take to social media with high emotions. But at the root of all of this chaos is a highly contagious virus that targets the respiratory system. This alarms me as someone with asthma, but also a five year only that struggles with her respiratory health on a regular basis. 

At this point we are officially one week into our quarantine for my son and I, my husband still has to go into work. The nice thing is he and I seem to have found a very nice routine. I wouldn’t call it a schedule because I do not have specific times that we do things but we have certain things that we do each day.  We are up usually between 6-630 and that is Jackson’s doing not mine, I would not mind sleeping in a little bit. Then we have some breakfast and relax a little bit so that we can ease into our day. Then we start our school work, I do not do any more than 30 minutes of school work at a time with him. During this school work time he’s working on everything from his numbers, to his letters, to writing his name and knowing how to spell it (sometimes he does this dressed as a ninja or a knight!).  Next up is some free play or time to watch some TV, he gets to pick what he wants to do during this time. While he is having his free time I sit down and I do a little work, usually this is about an hour to an hour-and-a-half to plug through some stuff.
