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!

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BITCOIN IS STOLEN OR LOST?
I recently came across an Ad concerning a Recovery group that specializes in recovering lost Btc/Crypto for Victims that have been scammed.Early last month I had lost $150,866.43 in usdt from my crypto.com and coinbase account to a fake trading investment site.
.Did some binary options trade and made a balance of $297,310 but since it was a fake site none of this winning was real. Luckily the group Recovery Masters came to my rescue and were able to recover my funds back.I explained my issue to them and they really worked tirelessly and in a span of 48hrs they recovered the funds back to my wallet.Their services were highly professional and I will forever be grateful to them.

Just like so many other people, I warmly give my gratitude to Dr Isikolo for his help and solution to my problems. I was blinded with jealousy and insecurities, and it created chaos in my relationship with my fiancé and he couldn’t resist my troubles and he left me. After he I realized I had gone too far with everything I was doing wrong to him only for him to relocate to another city and I lost every means of trying to reach him and apologize. At this point I knew I needed help to get him back, so I had to contact Dr Isikolo. He showed much concern, and I told him everything and agreed I was at fault, and he assured me of getting him back and restoring the love and happiness we shared which he did. Just as promised, after 48 hours Thompson called me and I apologized for everything and he invited me over so that we can make things up and be together again. Thank you Dr Isikolo for everything and your sincerity in helping people. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com and its important you read more about him or contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)
