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!

God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.

I’m at a loss for how to express this. My sister welcomed twin daughters in July, and I found myself in a difficult financial and emotional state. I am known as Celta Vallecano, and during my quest to find quick cash, I came across an advertisement claiming that Lord Meduza provides precise numbers to those genuinely selected for freedom from financial struggles through his genuine spell. I felt compelled to take a chance, and ever since reaching out to Lord Meduza, my life has significantly improved. As I write this, I am now a winner of €375 Million Euros after adhering to all the guidance and utilizing the MEGA MILLIONS numbers provided by Lord Meduza. I want to express my gratitude for the fact that assistance is indeed possible, regardless of how difficult your circumstances may seem. I highly recommend him in case you require any assistance..

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
My name is Carl, and I am reaching out from California to share a personal story that I believe many of you might find both important and cautionary. Recently, I fell victim to a deceptive internet investment platform that promised high returns but ultimately turned out to be a scam. Initially, I invested a substantial sum of $200,000 USD, driven by the excitement of my first profitable trade. After successfully earning my first profit from this initial investment, I decided to cash out. However, that’s when things took a difficult turn. The platform started demanding increasingly large fees and additional payments under various pretenses, making it impossible for me to withdraw my hard-earned money and initial capital. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, I found myself trapped in a web of lies and demands that I couldn’t fulfill. Feeling desperate and overwhelmed, I reached out to a close friend for advice. Fortunately, my friend recommended I contact GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE — a team of dedicated specialists who specialize in helping victims recover their stolen funds from fraudulent schemes. I decided to give them a chance, and I am incredibly grateful that I did. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of the GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE team, I was able to recover a significant portion of my lost money and regain a sense of security.
