The first day of my career as an artist…Daycare Day 1.

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

All parents are going to relate to this one…it’s the night before the big day, in our case DAYCARE DAY 1! Who wakes up at midnight and then DOES NOT GO TO SLEEP FOR 3 HOURS??? It was a perfect storm of bin night, husband on school camp and anxious mother. Finally, I gave up and snuggled the little darling into my bed (reality – baby eventually falls asleep sideways and I cling to the edge of the bed waking up with a jolt every so often to check he hasn’t crawled off the side).

Fast forward a few long hours and we get up and get to daycare. Unlike most parents (I’ve been led to believe) I had actually been looking forward to daycare. I imagined long, blissful, coffee-fuelled hours of painting, carefree in the knowledge my sweet child was loving life playing with new friends and toys. This is what actually happened…

We arrive and while I’m waffling to an educator about ideal naptimes, Sal has pinched another child’s yogurt pouch and squirted it all over the floor. I rush to clear it up and sort of tell him off while saying a fumbled goodbye, rushing out the door before I burst into tears…but I hear him burst into tears before the room door even swings shut and it’s TERRIBLE!

At home I listlessly shove a load of paint at the canvas, hate it, call the daycare centre (newsflash: Sal has been, “A little upset,” a.k.a. in floods of tears, like I couldn’t have guessed that, call back in an hour). So what do I do? I do what any sensible person would do. I go to bed. Apart from when I rang to call daycare (again) to check on Sal, I slept until 12.30pm. Then I called again, and then one more time, then I went and got him.

My first day as a working artist felt like a total failure, but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt as a mother over the past year, it’s to not be too hard on myself. I had unrealistic expectations – I was probably never going to whip up a masterpiece in a couple of hours on three hours sleep while my baby made lifelong besties. First day of daycare was tough for both Sal and I, but it was a baby step in the right direction. I will still conquer the art world and my baby WILL love daycare – watch this space!

Photos from Day 2, which was clearly more successful for both of us.

 My mini me! Feeling like a bit of a twit taking photos of myself.

    The Answer is YES, and WELCOME TO A GROUP CALLED DHACKERs. Where we put you first , were we listen to your complains and provide you available Solution.

    ROMANCE SCAMMERS are the most useless Scammer you can have and ever think of been 60% successful while recovering.. Is alway below 70%, that can be recovered not 100%, because the scammers target their victim one at a time, with promises of romance and riches before cutting them off and taking all their money, these type of scammers are usually broke.. And is very difficult for most of the real Private Recovery Agent to actually recover your money back to you or unable to recover it in full amount that has been Scammed is because of there reckless spending, once they get hold of the money they start shopping online, buying things online etc with the money they stolen from you.
    During the recovery process we see all this thing in the there Transaction history, trust me any money that is left in the scammers address account to a government approved online market is gone. Not like other trading Scam, trading Scammers do not only target you but many others victims like yourself, by so doing if you report this type to us, and you hire us to help you recover it.

  • Sometimes last month I invested my bitcoin into a trading platform hoping to get back my invested funds with profits. I was lured by a blockchain expert who claimed to work under Blockchain and as an amateur that I was, I fell for the scam. I invested quite a large amount, about 40000 USD worth of Btc and for a few days, my funds grew and generated profit until I wasn’t able to login into my account anymore. I was scared I lost my funds as I wasn’t able to contact the company for help and I was blocked from all access. I really got depressed and I really needed help but I couldn’t get help from authorities so I surfed the internet on how to get back my funds. I was lucky enough to come across Blockchainrecall.com, a group of experts who surprisingly within a space of 5 days recovered all my scammed funds back to my safety. I am here to testify to the help I got and I hope someone out there who might be in the same situation as I was would find it useful.
