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!

I was a target of a bitcoin heist where my coins were syphoned from my wallet to another. I of course reached out to the support team but they were slow to respond my emails and when they did, they argued that it was someone who knew all my credentials to make the transaction and so they couldn’t do anything about it other than to assist me in setting up an authenticator to enhance security. So I had to solve this through my own means. I reached out to gearhead engineers through their website, gearheadengineers dot org and presented my case. I was impressed with how fast and knowledgeable they are when they eventually discovered where my coins were sent to. They helped me get back everything. Reach out to them through their website.
Hello everyone, I’m Gayle Rollant and I’m from New Jersey, USA. I was scammed of my entire savings by a fake crypto investment site i1274016. com. They won’t allow me to withdraw my funds and request that I pay even more fees to be able to withdraw my money. I was devastated until I came across a post on my timeline about Spyweb Cyber Security and what they are doing to help scam victims recover their funds. I thought it was impossible to do that but Spyweb cyber security with their sophisticated cyber security and tools were able to help me recover my money. I’m truly grateful for their service and I’m recommending them to everyone who needs to recover their cryptocurrency funds and account.
