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 was introduced to crypto trading by a friend who has since vanished and left me clueless on how to recover my BTC from a website called OEXBAKE.com. I managed to make just by virtue of learning and trying out a whopping 1951.8591 in btc. Now they are refusing to let me withdraw into my wallet in coinbase by saying I need to prepare 1% of the totality of the assets in my wallet i want to recieve to and transfer to a one time address that will be provided to me. once they recieve this they will allow the relevant transfer. With RecoveryHacker101 I got access to recover everything I lost. Their contact info is RecoveryHacker101(at)Gmail(dot)co m
RECLAIM CRYPTO LOSS: HIRE META TECH RECOVERY PRO TO RECOVER LOST ASSET BACK.
The adage “all that glitters is not gold” proved a harsh reality I recently encountered. The digital realm of cryptocurrency investments and exchange platforms is not immune to deception. My pursuit of cryptocurrency investments led me to a seemingly legitimate site, complete with convincing investor testimonials touting successful withdrawals. Unbeknownst to me, it was an elaborate scheme. I invested $210,000.00 worth of cryptocurrency across multiple wallets, as directed by the scammers. Initially, the process mirrored typical modern investments, but my withdrawal requests were met with evasiveness and silence. This represented my entire life savings, accumulated through years of dedicated work, now vanished in an instant. Refusing to accept defeat, I sought assistance from METATECH-RECOVERYPRO, which facilitated a successful recovery. Their process was remarkably efficient. They meticulously traced my lost funds back to the perpetrators, and within a short timeframe, the recovered assets were returned to my bank account. Without this exceptional recovery team, which offered support when all hope seemed lost, my situation would have been dire. To initiate your recovery, I strongly advise sending a detailed email (Metatech@Writeme.Com) of your task, outlining your specific circumstances.

When I first stepped into the crypto space, the promise of high returns seemed irresistible.I was approached by a group of so called elite coin investors who claimed to have an exclusive platform for doubling investments in weeks.They showed me convincing dashboards, fake testimonials, and manipulated market graphs.With their persuasive charm and fabricated success stories, I committed my entire Bitcoin fortune worth $250,000 at the time believing I was securing my financial future.It did not take long for the cracks to show. Withdrawals were delayed due to security protocols, support became unreachable, and their once-active website started glitching. Within weeks, the platform vanished entirely, and so did my investment. My heart sank. I was staring at financial ruin and the betrayal of trust.After days of despair, I stumbled upon Washington Recovery Pro, a firm specializing in tracking and reclaiming digital assets lost to scams. Their team wasted no time.They launched an in-depth blockchain forensic investigation, tracing the movement of my stolen Bitcoin through a maze of wallets and mixers used to obscure the trail. Unlike the scammers, Washington Recovery Pro was transparent at every step, sharing updates, explaining technical processes in plain language, and even securing legal cooperation where needed.Weeks of relentless tracking finally paid off. The day I received confirmation that my full Bitcoin amount was restored to my wallet, I felt a mix of relief, gratitude, and disbelief.What I had thought was gone forever was back in my hands—thanks to the expertise, persistence, and integrity of Washington Recovery Pro. My story became a reminder that while scammers can be sophisticated, the right experts can be even smarter.you can as well reach out Via..
