I have been pretty open (but not *too* open- I don't want to scare them) with the kids about how I have been feeling. That mummy is sad, and sometimes this puts her in a bad mood. That it's not their fault, that I'm not mad at them, and that, most importantly, mummy will get better.

In the meanwhile, I am so behind on everything. Laundry, school forms, you name it...I am trying not to take on too much, it is taking all my power just to get the basics done.
