Yep, sounds like any day.  She's not being lazy, she's laying in supplies for the big day!

Can you take her to a  vet about the diarrhea, even if you just call.  A week is too long.

How long was she gone for?

The diarrhea may be from what she ate while gone and now switching back to her regular diet.

Boil some chicken and shred it for her, and cook some rice in the chicken broth and feed it to her. No onions or garlic, but you can salt the water. This will help with her loose bowels.

She also looks extremely far along in her pregnancy. Do you have a nest set up for her to give birth in a quiet place?

I was thinking kitten food was the problem any I took a black storage tote with lid on and cuts hole in it put in some old towels and put it in my closet would that be good enough

Yet that will work.  You may not need the lid and it will be easier for you to see how things are going without it.

That would be a problem.  Have you shown her the nest?  You may need to set up a couple others.  If you have a cardboard box you can use that, clothes baskets only work if you can block off all the openings.   The moms don't go into the nest until the last minute.  In the wild they don't want to attract predators or mess it up.

You can always move the kittens into the nest in the closet if she gives birth in a place where you don't want to leave her. After she's done delivering, of course.

How long was she gone?

Hmm. You say you no longer see kitten movement? And does she have white crust on the tips of her nipples?
