The first day of my career as an artist…Daycare Day 1.
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 lost my marriage and beautiful home wrecked by unhappiness seeing my wife walk away over the lies she was fed with and insecurities which were never true. I vowed from the beginning never to be a cheat and stood my ground to ensure I built a happy home but unfortunately she never trusted me enough. I wandered for months trying to get her back and sought help from various sources including her family intervention but never yielded success. I came in contact with Dr Ilekhojie who I doubted at the earlier stage when i got in contact with him. I had to keep hope alive and complied with the procedures just the way he explained everything to me. He assured me of her return which happened after 3 days and i am yet to find words to express how happy and appreciative i am, knowing my son and I have his mom back home. Thank you Dr Ilekhojie for bringing back happiness to our lives.

HIRE A PHONE HACKER-WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I never once suspected my husband, and our marriage had been founded upon a lifetime of respect, history, and a life that we could be proud of having created together. Recently, however, I couldn’t ignore the nagging suspicion that something was wrong. My husband became guarded—his phone wasn’t more than an inch from his hand, and he was being strangely secretive regarding his privacy. It was last Wednesday that I could not help but get the feeling that something was amiss. I am not the jealous type, but the indicators were too difficult to overlook. Something in my gut cried out that there was more to it. Some research online later, I discovered an application meant to trace one’s phone developed by a cyber security firm known as Web Bailiff Contractor. To make it simple for any interested entity within the app, simply email them at webbailiff@contractor.net. It was nothing to be proud of, but my instinct said it was the only way to get to the truth. I paid for the services, purchased the spy app that connected his phone to mine and the app started bringing up messages, call logs, and social media activities. I remember my heart sinking as I scrolled through conversation after conversation with a woman named Rachel. They were flirtatious, with inside jokes, and made plans to meet up. I felt a rush of betrayal as my worst suspicions were confirmed. I haven’t yet mustered the courage to confront him because I’m still in shock. So I’m still spying on him.
