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 have fantastic news to share with you all,everyone. How wonderful my experience with Cyber Retrieve has been cannot be properly expressed
in words. By accident, I erased my password and recovery phrase in 2022 even though I had 211 BTC in my blockchain wallet. I was totally
clueless about how to approach it before the start of this year. As I decided to conduct some research online, I came across a recommendation
for Cyber Retrieve in a community on the web discussing finding misplaced bitcoin, so I contacted them. With far less than two days, they aided
me swiftly and locate my forgotten BTC wallet password. The best available, without a doubt. Once more, I’m appreciative of Cyber Retrieve. I
can safely propose them to you as well by using: similar to what I discovered online. They may be trusted implicitly. You can also reach them via

A few months ago, I was swindled off $378,000 worth of BTC, I was coined by someone who pretended to be a Forex trader online and convinced me to invest in cryptocurrency. I couldn’t withdraw my profits or my initial investment and he kept requesting more fees, to cut the story short I lost all my money which was very depressing for me. While I was confiding with my colleagues at work about the whole situation, I was referred to SpyWeb, a trustworthy group of developers and hackers who could help me recover my stolen funds and help me get these scammers. Without any doubt, I contacted SpyWeb and provided all the information, including their wallet addresses. To my surprise, SpyWeb was able to recover my money in 72 hours which was unbelievable, I’m super excited because I didn’t imagine ever getting back my money. I’ll advise others out there to seek more knowledge before investing in cryptocurrency and if you’ve been in my situation, you should reach out to SpyWeb. They can assist you to recover your money.
