Awe, that is sad to hear about your mom, and the crappy weather really doesn't help anything or anyone. I think it would be good for you to have Lori come a little more often, or stay longer so that you can get some youtime. You need that. Do you still have the lock on the fridge? Have you thought about basically child proofing the home? They make locks for the cupboards and doors as well. It's an annoying, and crappy thing to have to do, but maybe it would help.
I think it's wonderful you are on an AD forum, you need all the support and ideas/help you can get.
Camicon is hanging in there. same old same old.
