The Dream

I do not call my dream the "American" dream because of course my dream is to leave America.  I will get through school if it kills me lol, working all the way up to my Masters.  Possibly own my own business (that one I am not completely sure if I do want) and of course my ultimate goal moving to Scotland!  Finding a beautiful home and settle my family in.  To be immersed in my heritage and this wonderful new world.

Some days that dream feels a million miles away, as opposed to the actual time line.  There have been so many obstacles in my life and I have overcome every one of those.  I can overcome the ones presented in my life now.  My current obstacle is school/work.  I really need to go back to work.  But work, school and my girls?  I can't let my girls suffer because of work and school.  As hard as I try to me I'm not Wonder Woman.

So I'm starting to work out the best time management for school, as well as searching for a part-time well paying job.  Both my house and my car are paid for so I only have utilities, insurance, things for the kids, stuff like that. I will switch to part-times school and probably have to pay for it myself. 

Very slowly bit by bit and piece by piece I will make that dream a reality.  I get a wee bit discouraged at times because it is slow going, but I try to remind myself every class I attend every test I take every paper I write is taking me one step closer to my dream.  And yes sometimes it's two steps forward one step back but it is still progress.  It will get me to my beloved Scotland. 

For now I will put in my favorite Tartanic cd and listen to my bagpipes and drums and appreciate this journey I am on.
