Just this sunday after church I tried turning left (on a super busy intersection) & stalled like 8 times in the middle & couldn't get it started...the light turned red as I sat there looking like a dimwit.
But now it's like 4 days later & I think I have only stalled it 2 times today. woot!! so it DOES get easier.
It's such a fun little car! You'll start to feel like a racecar driver when you stop and go at lights. haha
Your phone call was so cute!! I hope my "tips" helped. Seriously practice just starting from a complete stop until you get it down. You'll be fine :) Just give yourself a few more days of practicing.
Well you picked up very well only after one week. Can't want to ride again!

Good luck with the practice.
As Lilylulay says, just start and stop, start and stop over and over.
And try the clutch with your heel on the floor and off the floor different ways until you find a position right for you.
Find the sweet spot and hold it there!

Awesome Jane! Enjoy it!
After you get used to driving stick, you won't want an automatic again. I know I don't.
