Ramblings of a very tired Mommy

This year, I experienced the joys of preschool. The good, the bad, and the really annoying. It was very exciting for my son to enter a school enviornment, don't get me wrong. My son writes his name, he counts to 20, he sings a ton of cute songs too. So there is a lot to be proud of.

Let me start with the good. I love that he has a structured day. He gets to play with other children and even gets recess. I really like his teacher and he is in a great school. He has made friends too. So overall, preschool is a hit.

Then there's the bad. Sickness. SO. MUCH. SICKNESS. We have had 3 colds, the flu, and hand foot and mouth disease in a matter of 6 months! Pair that with the yucky winter that gave us a snow day a week for quite a while and it's safe to say he missed a lot of school. With that said, I think i'll apply just a little more hand sanitizer. Who knew having a preschooler could turn a Mom into a germaphope??

Then there is the annoying. Boys play rough. When boys get to play rough with other kids, they seem to get rougher. I'm pretty sure my son is convinced he is a real Power Ranger. I hear" hee-yah" at least twice a day and you would think he's a black belt. Sadly for him, he's just a boy, and his superpower seems to be playing rough with everybody.

Even with the sickness, and my son being a Power Ranger (in his mind at least), I have watched my child grow and learn so much! His progress  has been extraordinary and I am very proud. Now if only we could fight those pesky germs!

    Oh man, I can totally relate to the germ thing and the boys play rough thing too! I raised 3 of them! We were nothing but healthy till my oldest started kindergarten. It was like that every year when they started school too. Within the first two weeks someone would come home with a cold and it would make it's way through all the boys and then finally me. All the lysol and hand washing in the world didn't stop it!

    I'm dying laughing. My son was a Ninja Turtle (in his mind at least too) and I still call him Leo to this day. He had everyone, including the teachers, calling him Leo in preschool. Such fun times! But yes! Oh! The sicknesses. Glad he is past that.

    Thanks for sharing. You brought back awesome memories!

If you have tried the Taco Bell Crunchwraps in the morning, you already know what inspired this. If you haven't. go to Taco Bell first, then try these. They aren't Taco Bell, but they are pretty good. These are semi-homemade. I used simply potatoes hash browns. For those of you who have time to make them fresh, I'm sure they would be even better. Ingredients. 1 sausage patty/or 2 slices of bacon 1 egg - scrambled 1 serving of simply potatoes hash browns (or make your own) cheddar cheese queso+salsa dip Brown the sausage and potatoes first (they take the longest) make your scrambled egg Get a tortilla (I use the burrito size ones for mine) Then assemble. I put the hash browns first, then sauce so the sausage stays, then sausage, egg and top with shredded cheese.  Fold and brown each side ENJOY!!  Do you like this recipe? Share it!
