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? :)

OH.MUH.GAWD. Mommy Meltdown.

I finally bit the bullet and enrolled Lexi in preschool. I have been planning on putting her in for a while now but couldn't bring myself to do it. I even filled out the insanely long application a few months ago, then backed out last minute...OMG the dramzzz! She stays with her grandma all week so this is going to be a big adjustment for us all. The daycare I found seems like a really great place and I know just about everyone that works there, so I'm pretty comfortable with that part, but she's used to being around her family, so dropping her off at a completely foreign place with completely foreign people terrifies the H*ll outta me because I'm afraid she won't cope well at first, bless her heart :( *tearzzzzzz* (Hope you all enjoyed that run on sentence, sorry I'm in panicky mother mode.) But I know it will be great for her once she gets used to it. She LOVES playing with other kids and needs that type of interaction. When I told her grandma I enrolled her, I think she was fixing to cry too:( It's so great to know how much Lexi is loved and cared for, but even grandma's need a break. I don't want her to get burnt out.
I'm taking her to see her new school today after I get off work...let's hope she likes it and that mommy can hold back the tears in fear of making a complete moron outta muhself *Fingers Crossed*
