Tell 'er she's dreamin'

It's true, I am dreaming. I am sitting here dreaming about where I would like to be in life and it seems unrealistic. But that's the beauty of dreaming. My life is nice, I have a lovely husband, two gorgeous girls, a nice house but it's time for me to get back to work. BC (before children) I worked in Law and I could go back to this. I was an excellent Paralegal, I was efficient, punctual, knowledgable, a team player, etc etc. but the hours were very looong and I have to consider travel time now too. If I work in Brisbane I would be away from my girls from 6am to 6pm and that is not including over time and work functions.

I just can't do this with my two girls right now. In my dream, I am available to drop my girls off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. It is really hard to find a satisfying job to fit these hours. So, I dream instead.
My dream would be to work from home, writing light hearted fun pieces for local papers, magazines or blogs. I also wouldn't be afraid of more hard hitting pieces. I would furiously meet each deadline with hours to spare. The boss would clap me on the back. I'd smile and get back to the typewriter (I use a typewriter in my dreams), back to writing because I can start another piece before school pick up. I'd also be a great speller with excellent grammar. Then in my time between articles, I would be a product photographer, I have the equipment, I have the dreams, I am only short the products. In my other dream I am a Supermodel. Ahh, it's so much fun to dream.

What are your dreams?
