Thursday was Jenna's first day with the babysitter. What an eventful day! We left plenty early so I could make it to work on time, which turned out to be a very wise idea. Jenna and I left home and started over to the sitter's only to find out I had a very low tire. I drove on to the sitter's and figured I would get air at the gas station down the road from her house.
Evidently, there was a watermain break overnight, so the street she lives on was closed... causing us to detour. Her husband had an air compressor, so he was sweet enough to give me some air.
He said my tire had a piece of metal in it, so I dropped by Raben Tire in Henderson, called Lance (who was headed through Henderson anyway) and had him take me the rest of the way to work. Guess what time I got to work....7:55. All that excitement and I was still 5 minutes early!
As for Jenna...she will have a little adjusting to do. Teresa said she would look around for me, then fuss. She wanted to be held and rocked to sleep. I told her my Jenna doesn't like to be held or rocked, how strange.
Meanwhile, she's back to work with me until next Thursday. Hopefully, next week will be less eventful.

Sounds like she did pretty well for the first day. It does take them some time to adjust. You might give some thought to taking her on Tues & Thurs or something so she gets a little more used to going. Ciara would sometimes have a hard time going back on Monday's the first few weeks or if we had a long weekend, holidays, etc. She does fine now though! You might consider taking her favorite toy or something too, so she has something familiar.
I'm guessing the ride to work from the tire shop felt strange since it has likely been over a year since you and Lance were together WITHOUT Jenna being there too.
I hope she adapts well to the separation from Mommy, for your sake and hers.
