I think Rick meant his comment to be in GREEN - but I'll let him confirm that if he wants.
As a small business owner myself.....I haven't seen anything in your posts to denote anything out of the ordinary from what all business's experience throughout their normal operations.
In fact - your posts/threads only demonstrate how engaged you are with the successful management of your business.
I think most of us who own business's can resonate with the various scenarios we run into whether it concerns customer relations, material handling, bookkeeping, labor, etc. etc.
I've never seen any business that didn't have daily challenges - and those challenges certainly are not an indicator of failed operations. They are more indicative of a thriving operation.
Carry on and keep posting - we can relate! ;)

Thank you Baz. This past September marks 20 years since I started my biz. Lord knows I have made some mistakes, and learned many lessons the hard way.
Like David above, I am a one man operation. I am often overwhelmed , stressed, and have a large backlog, but you know what? I make money every day. I had employees for 5 years, I was working my ass off, and bleeding money at the same time. My biz grew faster than I was ready for, and I just did not know how to handle it. I did finally figure it out in the end, but I found that I liked fixing cars, better than managing a small workforce.
Best of luck in whatever you do.
