More appointments for Isaac, and I need a distraction!

The evaluator for Tn early intervention services came by this morning, and we should get this ball rolling pretty soon. We still have the psychologist appt for his "official" diagnosis (one or more) on Monday. In a few days another lady from TEIS will call to meet for his whatever they called it plan, and therapy, or the therapies,  should start soon after that. I'm so tired of...what are those things..acronyms. Like, TEIS stands for something, ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Really...I'm stuck in this place where everything and every sentence has one or more of these in it and I have to try to figure out what they mean. I'll probably know all of them in a few months, but right now trying to read stuff on the Autism mom's group fb page is like half acronyms. That I don't know.
I'm trying really hard to get my mind off of all of these appointments, and I'm also trying to sell stuff like crazy to afford some of these appointments. I'm selling stuff all over fb resale sites. I started a gofundme page for Isaac, for anyone who's feeling sympathetic and wants to help out! Please! The amount that we are trying to raise is what his speech therapy alone is going to cost this year. I put on there that it was for all 3, but I just added up his twice a week visit copays and that's the number I got. Sheesh!! So...if you feel like you can...click the link and help us out!! What I didn't realize is that gofundme will not make your profile/page truly public where wonderful strangers can donate...until you get $100 in donations yourself. So please share!
As spring is fastly approaching, I need something for me to do to earn money. I can do boutique hairbows and diaper cakes with ease, also homemade bath salts and sugar scrubs ... so I was thinking about maybe getting up a big stockpile of those and doing spring, summer, and fall craft shows. Most of these are on weekends anyway when D is off work and I can drag the Jessica with me to help out. Thoughts? On most of the big ones, little ones, and even consignment sales I have noticed that they have vendors who do bows, but since the diaper cakes are so much fun for me I thought about those. Good idea, bad idea? I do not think I can do both in one booth, but I'm not sure about that either. Or not risk it at all? I really really really need advice on this one. I'm on the fence.
Still working on that super sparkly list for this year though, and just wondering if crafts/trade shows should be on it. Y'all help me out with deciding!!
Love and always God Bless! www.gofundme.com/5ywwdw
