    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Having a slow week, feeling rather down. Struggling to think of things to do with DS and DD2. Suddenly feeling panicky about taking DS and DD2 out together alone. He is diagnosed ASD and is just starting to tantrum plus DD2 is going through the fun 2yr old stage of answering back and being naughty for attention, especially while out. DD1 is on holiday with her Dad so one less to worry about, but I feel I am letting them down :( anyway, I've shared now, so hopefully I can shake myself out of it!
