Early morning view from last week: Dustin's...Mine.
Hard to say which one is worse.
...The fuzzy top of my daughter's head as she snuggles up for breakfast in the faint light of dawn...
...An unoccupied pillow and mess of sheets that mean Dustin is taking the early shower/Piper shift...
...Dew covered leaves out my bathroom window that serve as a double check of the weather...
...Dull white tile, reminding me a renovation can't be far away...
...Stacks of neutral t's and piles of silver bangles, waiting their turn in the outfit rotation...
...Matching faces, as Dustin and Piper spend the morning babbling together...
...A big two toothed grin- her way of saying "bye mama! Have a good day!"...
...The steely skyline of a bygone era, the peaceful shores of a river, and the slow moving train cars I pass on my morning commute...
...A dumpster heap of a desk, covered with literal piles of work spilling over from day to day...
...Faces, of coworkers eager to start the day, or catch up on weekend gossip. Screens- of my laptop, monitor and phone- all blinging with notifications to attend to (or waste time on)...
...The blank walls of a conference room three times a day while I pump milk for my girl...
...The bottom of my lunch bag, after I've ravaged through all my snacks too soon...
...Window panes, framing 3D realizations of my once fuzzy ideas...
...The clock. Constantly checking the time as another day flies by...
...Taillights, as I sit in traffic on the way home...
...Clutter. Tasks to complete, laundry to do, dishes to wash all stare at me, vying for attention...
...My family's smiles, full of food as we share a meal and our day's events...
...A tower of blocks, a stack of books, a pj footed baby as we wind down for the day...
...A guilty pleasure or much needed zone out break courtesy of pirated online tv...
...My messy reflection, which has taken a beating by day's end...
...The dark walls of my bedroom, illuminated slightly by the green glow of the bedside monitor, signaling the babe is peacefully asleep...
