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.

  • If you’re a victim of Bitcoin scam or you’re trying to recover your lost coin from a wallet, do not hesitate to email [COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE@GMAIL.COM] Obviously Rick doesn’t know I’m putting this out here just my way of showing appreciation because I feel so indebted to him for the tremendous job he did and to let people know there’s a good guy out there. It all started in March when I sold my Town house in British Columbia to buy a new home in Toronto then I invested part of the proceed with a broker, I never knew I was being cat fished. I was scammed a whooping sum of $36,000 and It became more frustrating when I lost an additional $12,000 to online imposters who claim to help. I almost gave up on my quest for recovering my stolen money before I read an article on New Times Square about Rick’s progressive success on cryptocurrency scam recovery then I said to myself this will be my last try, yes it was and it was a success. All thanks to COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Contact him now if you want to feel this level of happiness and confidence again.

  • Based on my own experience, I wanted to share some practical tips to help others safeguard their wallets from potential hijacking attempts. Firstly, never underestimate the power of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. Secondly, make sure to regularly update your wallet software and keep an eye out for any security patches. Lastly, consider using hardware wallets for an added layer of protection. Going through the wallet hijacking ordeal was undoubtedly a nerve-wracking experience, but it taught me some valuable lessons. Firstly, I realized the importance of maintaining strong security practices from the get-go. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Secondly, I learned the significance of seeking professional help when faced with a security breach. Fayed Hacker was a game-changer in reclaiming my wallet. Now came the thrilling part – executing the recovery plan. Using their technical wizardry (pun intended), the Fayed Hacker team took control of the situation. They used advanced tools and techniques to trace the stolen coins, identify the culprits, and ultimately retrieve my hijacked wallet. I must say, witnessing their expertise in action was quite impressive. It was like watching a daring heist movie, except this time I was the one being rescued. The process took some time and required collaboration between their team and relevant authorities, but in the end, they successfully recovered my wallet and returned all my coins safely back to my digital pocket. Once I had my wallet back in my possession, it was time to fortify its security like never before. Fayed Hacker provided me with a comprehensive list of enhanced security measures to implement. From setting up multi-factor authentication to creating stronger passwords, I took their advice seriously and made sure my wallet was locked down tighter than a vault. I quickly realized that security is not a one-time task but an ongoing commitment. To keep my wallet safe from potential future hijacking attempts, I needed to stay vigilant. I started monitoring my wallet’s activity regularly and kept a close eye on any suspicious transactions. I also made it a habit to stay updated on the latest security protocols and promptly implement any necessary updates. Ultimately, while losing my wallet and going through a traumatic scenario, I can never express how much relief it brought to be able to retrieve it with Fayed Hacker’s help. It is quite remarkable how skilled, committed, and competent they are at recovering misplaced wallets. They helped me retrieve my coin and let me realize how important wallet security is. Thank you very much. I wholeheartedly suggest seeking help from the Fayed Hacker if you ever find yourself in a similar predicament. Contact Fayed Hacker
