Re: random thoughts.
Our neighbor actually invited us to his church's Christmas program. My children haven't really ever been to church, at least not where he is expected to sit still.
So we show up on time and our neighbor ushers us to the front. To the front with two small children. The 2 yo decided to be a heathen. Standing on the chairs, kicking the chairs, digging through women's purses, crawling under chairs, screaming, collapsing, whining. DH had to take him outside several times.
I sat there pretending dh and ds1 weren't related to me.
Several people approached us after the service to talk to us but both of us were occupied with our terrible toddler and as a result we felt that we were short with them.
At the end of the service, there was a pot luck. We initially intended to stay, but after the awfulness of our child, we wanted to leave. We tools or neighbor that we were leaving and thank you. Instead he was like, "no you have to eat." And grabbed DH's hand and dragged us to the front of the line. In front of 50+ people and told us to get food. (Totally felt like the ugly Americans. )
When we finally sit down, our neighbor's wife comes by to talk to us. We are trying to get our 2 yo to eat the food (it was spicy Indian food--yum) and he kept shaking his head or spitting it out in front of her. We felt so bad that our child was being disrespectful. We also had a hard time following her because her accent was thicker and in order to follow her conversation, we had to pay attention to her as she spoke. But because we were trying to get our toddler to behave, we weren't able to participate; it was like we didn't care, but we really did.
Well when we left, we are saying or good byes and the 2 yo drops to the floor and starts eating food off the floor. Omg. I about died.
Next time we will get a baby sitter.

A lot of times the fire or police departments will do drug take backs. If not, you can dispose of it by dissolving it in water and mixing it in something gross (cat litter/coffee grounds) and throwing that away in a plastic bag. Not the best way if you have other options, but better than keeping it around your home.

Later that night, I get a text saying that they are in the emergency department and that my mom doesn't have much left in her. But says that he'll call me as soon as they know something.
I get a text Sunday saying I need to go home because my mom is not long for this world.
So I drove 3 hours to see my mom. (And I just drove another 3 hours back home because I have to work tomorrow. )
Good news: it's an infection and they now have it under control.
Bad news: the liver tumors are very aggressive and as a result, she can have a heart attack any day (they are preventing adequate blood flow to her heart). No chemo is working, and without chemo, we don't expect more than 2-3 months.
Can I just say I'm emotionally and physically tired?

On that note, when do I need to talk to my doctor about depression? And which one?

FWIW, given what's on your plate right now, I think most anyone would be depressed and would benefit from some extra support right now.
