I think I'll read a book instead
Ah, technology! You gotta love it, you gotta hate it, but you can't live without it (at least not if you run an internet-based business!).
My computer has been a bear today. First it froze up when I was uploading some things. Somehow in the process of that, my homepage and shopping cart pages were deleted. Then, when I was trying to fix those, it decided to not even let me get passed the first few boot-up windows (sorry, I'm sure there's a geek-term for those, but I'm not a geek). After multiple tries, I finally got back on and was able to figure out how to upload my homepage. But then I couldn't figure out how to upload my shopping cart. And, it wouldn't let me log in to my email program so that I could email my web designer and have her help me. I finally just got on my husband's laptop (where I am typing from right now) and emailed her and she was able to fix the shopping cart.
The computer is now completely frozen up and won't allow me to do anything - I can't even get it to let me restore it. Ugh! Oh well, there went my two hours of solid, concentrated business work time during Kathrynne's nap.
I think I'll follow GirlTalk's advice and go read a book.

Oh, so sorry about the computer crashes, Crystal. :( It frustrates me to no end when our computer will freeze up right in the middle of me typing a blog post or writing a research paper. It sure is nice to have live-in tech support for those situations (aka. Josh). :) It sounds like what you were attempting to do was more of a critical nature for your business. Hope everything is back in working order very soon!
I know the feeling! Computer stuff can be so time-consuming, even when there aren't problems! And having a "set" time (like when a child has just gone down for a nap ;D) disappear can be frustrating... like when I get one child asleep and then the other wakes up even though he's only been asleep for 15 minutes! lol ;)
