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!

HOW TO FIND A LEGITIMATE BITCOIN RECOVERY SERVICES VISIT DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
Not long ago, I invested $80,300 into an online certification I believed would boost my professional growth. Everything looked convincing — the platform was well-designed, the representatives were persuasive, and the promises of career support sounded genuine. But soon after I enrolled, the truth became clear. The lessons were shallow, the support team vanished, and the certification turned out to be worthless. I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. I refused to accept the loss and started looking for help. That’s when I discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery. From the very first call, they gave me confidence. Their communication was clear, their process was transparent, and they showed genuine concern about my case. They gathered the necessary details, traced the fraudulent platform, and managed the refund process professionally. A few weeks later, I received my full refund. As someone living in Dallas, I can say their service exceeded every expectation. Digital Tech Guard Recovery turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of relief and justice. If you’ve lost money to an online scam, reach out to them — they truly know how to get results.

A few weeks ago, I was tricked into using a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform that promised me a 20% daily profit. As a result, I lost almost $55,750.00 USD. I was having a terrible time and was in financial ruin since I was hardly able to pay my obligations. I had to confide in a close friend, who then put me in touch with the greatest recovery firm and crypto recovery team. I reached out to them at recoveryhacker101@gmail.com, and they easily recovered all of my stolen digital assets and gave me my money back. I highly suggest them to anyone experiencing a similar circumstance.
