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 feel so blessed again in my marriage after Dr Ige Ajayi brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 months. Am Jessica Butler by name from USA. Even though i have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank Dr Ige Ajayi for his help upon my life. My husband separated with me for the 3 months and have been in pains and agony without him. So, i searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until i meant Dr Ige Ajayi who i contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours as far that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Dr Ige Ajayi said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: drigeajayi@gmail.com/WhatsApp {+2348130035939}

I found this company WZARDGARRYSPEEDHACK@GMAIL.COM that provides services for victims that have been scammed or cheated on the internet. So i engaged this company in order to receive my monetary funds of about $427,560 from a Forex company that scammed me, CryptoFx to be precised. The account manager by the name of Mr GARRY assisted me step by step and we worked together and without doubt I was actually amazed with GARRY HACK and how he assisted me to receive my money from the Forex company. In conclusion the company was very cooperative and worked very friendly and also professionally at the same time. I recommend Mr GARRY HACK to anyone that have been a victim of fraud or scammed online please contact Mr GARRY HACK on email address: wzardgarryspeedhack@gmail.com or whatsapp: +1 928 534 9618 Website: https://wzardgarryspeedhac.wixsite.com/my-site-1
