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!

Having been scammed a couple of times before by “phony hackers” I feel like it’s my duty to connect y’all with any legit ones I come across. Grayhathacks contractors happen to be on top of my list. I recently enlisted one of their services and I must admit I was more than impressed. You will never work with a team that’s more professional and efficient than this one. They offer services like phone and computer hacking, social media account hacking, changing school grades, email hacking, website hacking, Black hat SEO. You name it they’ve got you covered.
Their money back guarantee also does help keep their clients at ease.
You can email them at grayhathacks@contractor.net
Hey guys, my name is Patsy from Australia Sydney. I was defrauded of $210,000.00USD in a binary investment trading scam, and I wasn’t even aware of it until a month later. When they refused to respond to my emails and texts, I realized something was amiss. The website and the services I utilized were so sincere, and everything felt legitimate. I was prepared to concede defeat since I didn’t know what to do or how to proceed until I talked about it with a friend who suggested that I contact Francisco Hacker to help me recover my invested money. Although I wasn’t really convinced, I had to get my money back and had no choice but to get in touch with Francisco Hacker, which I did. They worked really hard to recover all of my money and were incredibly helpful. Their aid in finding my missing money has truly impressed me. While Francisco Hacker Group is not a medical professional, they have helped save my life. To anyone who has lost money in a currency scam, I’d heartily suggest them.

WURDEN SIE JEMALS UM IHR GELD BETRUG? SIE KÖNNEN IHR GELD VON DIESEN BETRÜGERN ZURÜCK ERHALTEN
Ich bin Spyweb Cyber Security so dankbar. Ich bin so glücklich, einer der wenigen Glücklichen zu sein, die mein gestohlenes Geld zurückbekommen. Ich weiß, dass viele Leute nichts über diese Betrügereien mit Kryptowährungsinvestitionen wissen, aber ich wurde Opfer eines Betrugs mit einer Investitionsplattform. Ich habe insgesamt 349.000 Euro in Bitcoins auf ihrer Investitionsplattform namens Bitflip investiert, sie haben immer mehr Geld verlangt, bis mir klar wurde, dass es ein Betrug war, ich war bei allen und der Bank verschuldet, bis ich einen Artikel über Spyweb gesehen habe, sie sind Experten für die Wiedererlangung gestohlener Bitcoins und Gelder von diesen Betrügern. Ich kontaktierte sofort Spyweb Cyber Security und gab ihnen alle notwendigen Informationen. Sie garantierten mir mein Geld in zwei Tagen zurück und in weniger als 48 Stunden bekam ich mein ganzes Geld zurück. Ich bin so aufgeregt und möchte dies mit allen teilen, die schon einmal betrogen wurden. Sie können sich an das Cybersicherheitsteam von Spyweb wenden.
