Relax, Mom, breathe. Enjoy your time apart. When she comes back and she wants to do something quilty, make sure you have lots of time to do it so there can be rest periods. I suspect the time constraints for gettng these done before THE TRIP added to the frustrations. And it is so interestng that kids can be nice when it is not family involved. :?
When she is older, she will only remember that she got to make these presents. Give her a big hug before you send her off to St.Louis. (BTW, it is HOT here right now!) :lol:
