The Roadblock

-
Sometimes as a mommy and wife, I think I'm superwoman. I want to do everything and neglect the little things. Then I start to see why I shouldn't. For me, the thing I seem to put on the back burner the most is my health. I have hypothyroidism and RA, so in the back of my mind I know I need to take care of things. Then that supermom instinct hits and I start thinking about the kids and my husband and our home. I think that it's starting to take a toll now, so I'm going to make it a point to take care of me. I'm doing it for myself and for my family.

The wake up call came when I was getting out of bed. My sheets and pillow were covered in hair. Yep, my hair is falling out. It's a classic symptom of thyroid problems. At first I just pulled back my hair and kept plowing ahead. I'm now getting super tired really fast and I feel cranky too. Those are things telling me, it's time to stop procrastinating. I'm writing about it because i'm hoping that I can get a push from all of you reading. I'm sure i'm not the only one out there trying to be supermom.

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!
