Throw in the Towel?

Ok I'm at a loss for what to do?! Preschool is making me crazy (along with Derek and Alexis)! Lexi has been going for 6 weeks now (2 days a week) and is still having mega meltdowns in the morning (however the vomiting has ceased "for the most part" YAY!). She comes home and talks a big game like she liked it, but when it's time to go back she freaks out! A friend of mine told me it took her daughter 6 weeks to adjust to daycare (she was also going 2 days a week) so I've rode it out this long, but I don't see it getting THAT much better :(

In a perfect world, Alexis would stay with her grandma 5 days a week, but that's not possible anymore. Grandma can only watch her 3 days a week. So daycare or a private in home sitter are my only options. I don't even know if she'd do much better with an in home sitter? And finding THE RIGHT babysitter that I can trust may be impossible...and it may take her a few weeks to adjust to that...would they deal with a crying kid all day? I don't know if we should just continue to ride the daycare thing out and hope for it to get better or just throw in the towel now?! I like the structure and social interaction she gets through daycare, but if she is really THIS unhappy with it, is it worth it? Then on the other hand, am I just giving in and letting her have way? I don't know what to do!!

If we go with plan B then we'll need sitter suggestions :) So does anyone know of any good sitters in the area? :)
