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!

I came accross this post at the perfect time while in my thankful mood, I really want to appreciate Edith and the incredible team at REFUND POLICI RECOVERY SERVICE Wassap : +1 ( 6 5 7 ) 2 6 2 4 4 8 2" for saving my life and giving me another chance to make the right decisions. Navigating the aftermath of falling victim to a romance scam that threatened my financial security was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. The skammer was on the verge of draining my entire savings, leaving me feeling vulnerable and distraught. Not until my coworker randomly found out the level of mess i got myself into, and referred one of her old friend “Edith” to me as she was into tech , Edith demonstrated remarkable professionalism, empathy, and determination. Her assurance was a beacon of hope in an otherwise dark situation. I was surprised at their efforts and the team’s unmatched skills, I was able to recover every single penny i lost to the skammer. This outcome was something I barely dared to hope for at the start of this journey. Beyond the financial recovery, the support I received was instrumental in helping me regain my confidence and peace of mind.REFUND POLICI RECOVERY SERVICE’s dedication to their clients and their passion for justice in the crypto space is truly commendable. It’s clear that their team are not just in the business of recovery; they’re in the business of restoring hope and dignity to those who have been wronged.To anyone finding themselves in a similar situation, feeling lost and uncertain where to turn, I will highly recommend REFUND POLICI RECOVERY SERVICE. They even offer many other tech services like hacking of phone and monitoring a partner and other similar jobs. Thank you, Edith, for everything. Your work not only recovers lost assets but also helps mend spirits shattered by deceit. I am eternally grateful. One good turn deserves another, so i will leave their contakt below just incase anybody need such good services.
