okay can anyone tell me why suddenly I am having incredible fibro pain... to the extreme.  I know that stress brings it on but I am not any more stressed than usual.  Starting Monday late in the afternoon I could hardly put one foot in front of the other, by yesterday morning when we were leaving for school I was in some pain but later when I got home it was impossible again.  This morn I am some what okay.   

Well on to other news.  I am currently trying to figure out if we need a new freezer.  I say yes most likely but lets wait and hubby would like to buy one this week yet.  You may be asking yourself why would you need one so fast and this is why.  We have 2 chest freezers.  One is small and good for a older couple it doesn't hold much... like a quarter of a cow and a few odds and ends. Now the other one you could fit 6 full grown men in it... 10 years ago it was the biggest one on the market.  On monday we put 70 chickens in it and there is 20 10# bags of ground pork and today I am getting a half a cow and saturday I will be picking up a pig.  Thats a lot of meat.  I am so excited.  The ability to know where my meat comes from is a very reassuring thing for me.  I would hate to tell you all what the chicken you buy from the store is feed... not good.  For that matter pigs and cows get some things that I don't agree on.  So all the meat we have put in the freeze has been organic.  I sold 20 chickens for 3.00 a #.  I could have charged as much as 4.50 but that just doesn't seem right.  My friend who has 5 girls likes to feed her girls meat and milk that is free of antibiotics and growth hormones.  I feel the same way.  I just felt so bad when I realized that those 6# chickens were costing her 18.00 apiece.  I couldn't afford that .... I guess thats why we raise our own.  Boy I sure know how to go on about almost nothing at all.   How are all of you.  Hope you all have a good day.  Send me warm thougts so I don't freeze while I am sorting out freezers.  Love to you all.
