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!

What would I have done without your help Mr James Mckay Wizard?.. I’m most grateful and am writing a review for you with a grateful heart. Thanks for helping me get my life back together and especially helping me to clear my credit debts that my wife had maxed out and even more thanks for helping me get the proof I need to go through with the court proceeds. My wife has always been a cheater and I never would have had helped without you, she would have took away my children and all my money. If you are looking to hire a good cyber hacker and recovering agent he is the man for you contact him here: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +3165.. 744.. 6248.
Hackers broke into my wallet and stole over 70k worth of bitcoins. Everything occurred so quickly. I was at work one morning when I received an email from blockchain asking me to verify my account for safety reasons, which I did thinking it was the appropriate blockchain email address. I then clicked a file that was attached to the email, and that’s when everything went wrong. My personal computer collapsed for a brief period, and then I got an alert that my Bitcoin request had been submitted to a different wallet. I tried emailing the blockchain support since I was so enraged and perplexed to see if there was any chance I could get my bitcoin back, but they stated there was nothing they could do. I gave up on it for a little period of time. I was informed that I could actually get back my Bitcoin with the aid of a hacker. I requested assistance from jamesmckaywizard who was introduced to me through a colleague. They only required the information from my own wallet. The money was found in my wallet in less than 4 working days, and it turned out that the intruder had already spent some of it, leaving me with only about 53,820.00 bitcoins. I’m still pleased and happy, jamesmckaywizard deserves every bit of praise for the fantastic job they did. They are influential on WhatsApp and email. jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +316…5744…6.248.

I woke up one morning to a gut-wrenching realization, my life savings, 100 Ethereum, were gone. A late-night crypto trade, fueled by exhaustion and a shady exchange platform, had sent my funds to an unknown wallet. Panic set in as I stared at my empty account, the numbers mocking my mistake. I thought it was over, my financial security, my dreams, vanished into the blockchain’s abyss. Desperate, I scoured forums for advice. That’s when I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest, a group of crypto recovery specialists with a reputation for cracking impossible cases. Their posts were filled with success stories, and though I was skeptical, I sent them a message. Within hours, I shared everything, the transaction ID, the platform’s sketchy interface, and my careless transfer to the wrong address. Alpha Spy Nest, a mix of blockchain analysts and cybersecurity experts, got to work. They explained that recovering Ethereum sent to an incorrect wallet was like finding a needle in a digital haystack, but their proprietary tracing tools could analyze blockchain ledgers with precision. Days felt like years as I waited. Alpha Spy Nest kept me updated, detailing how they were cross-referencing wallet addresses and tracking the flow of my Ethereum through obscure nodes. They uncovered that my funds had landed in a dormant wallet, likely controlled by a scammer who hadn’t yet moved the assets. Dormant wallets give us a window. Using a combination of social engineering and blockchain forensics, they identified the wallet’s origin and contacted the exchange tied to it. Alpha Spy Nest’s legal liaison drafted a compelling case, leveraging the exchange’s KYC policies to freeze the account. After tense negotiations, the exchange agreed to reverse the transaction, a rare win in the crypto world. Days later, I refreshed my wallet and nearly cried 100 Ethereum, back where it belonged. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my savings; they restored my faith in justice. Their fee was steep but worth every penny for the miracle they pulled off. I posted my gratitude on forums, hoping others would find their way to this team of digital detectives who turned my nightmare into a triumph.
