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!

Photos from Day 2, which was clearly more successful for both of us.

 My mini me! Feeling like a bit of a twit taking photos of myself.

  • As I sit down to reflect on the past few months, I can’t help but feel a mix of anger, betrayal, and disbelief. I was one of the many Canadians who fell victim to the Maple Leaf Digital Growth Fund, a scheme that promised a seemingly irresistible 5% monthly return on investments. At first, it sounded like a golden opportunity, especially in a world where traditional savings accounts barely keep up with inflation. Little did I know that I was stepping into a trap that would cost me and my friends dearly.It all started when my close friend, Mark, approached me with the idea. He had been raving about the fund, sharing how he had already made a
    WhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234 significant profit. Mark was always the savvy investor in our circle, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He convinced me and a few others that this was a chance we couldn’t afford to miss. We trusted him, and that trust led us to invest a combined total of $4.7 million, with each of us believing we were making a smart financial decision.As the months went by, the returns came in as promised, and I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I even encouraged a couple of my colleagues to invest, thinking I was helping them secure their financial futures. However, everything changed when withdrawals were suddenly suspended. Panic set in as we tried to access our funds, only to be met with vague excuses and delays. It was then that the reality hit us: we had been duped.When PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY stepped in, I felt a glimmer of hope. Their team of recovery specialists quickly identified the operation as a Ponzi scheme, revealing that the returns we had received were simply payments made from the investments of newer participants. I was devastated. The realization that I had not only lost my money but had also influenced others to invest was a heavy burden to bear.Their skills were apparent as they navigated the intricacies of the case. When they revealed that they had successfully retrieved all the funds, a profound sense of relief washed over me. Such a positive outcome is uncommon in these scenarios, and I felt immense gratitude for their hard work.This ordeal has imparted a crucial lesson about the necessity of thorough research and skepticism in the investment landscape. I’ve come to realize that if an opportunity seems too good to be true, it often is. I’ve learned to exercise greater caution when it comes to encouraging others in financial decisions. I’m thankful to have my money restored.
