Hello friends --I think it's about week 9 of the COVID-19 quarantine - and some states (mine included) are starting to open up. I would LOVE to ask for your advice. But first - most importantly - how are YOU and yours doing??  I hope you're hanging in there. It's such a weird time we're living in. So - back to my dilemma: my daughters are 19 & 16 and should be working this summer. My oldest secured a job for this summer to start soon. My youngest has not yet but wants to. I'm scared of them working and being exposed to COVID - for their safety and for mine and my husband's too. I want the girls to learn about working and they need to make money for college. But - it's COVID. So - I'd really appreciate it if you'd hit "reply" to this email and let me know what you would do. I so appreciate this community and respect your opinion. Thanks in advance.Alright, alright, alright (said in Matthew McConaughey 's voice) - let's get to the good stuff: 1.  A brand-spanking new FUMS Podcast episode just dropped this morning.

Sometimes it helps the stress, just to say "F-U-M-S"
