Super frustrating...

tomorrow my biggest etsy shipment yet will go out.
over 30 packages.
i bribed jody with candy and coffee and she willingly came over to help me package.
i was all set up and ready for her arrival.
i had the assembly line in place.
all packaging materials will placed within arms length.
coffee was hot and peppermint mocha was set by the pot.
kids were in bed.
mozart was playing over the baby monitor.
it was as peaceful as it could get around here.
jody started packaging.
i went to paypal to start printing shipping labels.
they were down...for like the first time in paypal history or something.
SO SO SO frustrating.
i'm getting slightly nervous about this holiday shipping stuff.
i don't want to mess up anyone's order or not get it to them in time for their gift exchange, etc.
i feel a sense of responsibility...and i'm not super good with responsibility.
so i have had to stay very focused and force myself to stay on top of this etsy madness.
and then paypal goes down?!?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
so we packaged everything and jody left.
and now...at 11:45pm...paypal is back up and running.
so i'll be printing labels and taping them on for the next hour or 2.
thank goodness for coffee...
