My stress hormone is flooded up to the sky !

last night hubby just told me he is very very likely to have a last minute business trip to Argentina for 8 days starting coming Monday. I feel so stressful since then because I will have to manage 2 little kids (2.5yrs and 6 months) alone without help !

I don't drive. I don't manage to have a reliable babysitter yet. I don't have super big circle of friends either. My daughter has to be taken to and pick up from school 4 times of the week and 2 out of that are half day. The school is 10 mins drive from my appartment BUT 45min -1 hour by bus for single trip, not mention about the harsh of getting bus change and on a snowy and slippery road this day

I've been thinking about different options but turn out not one will work.....Red cross is the only option I might call for help for babysitting with reliability but paying SFr25/hour make it not a feasible option for me, plus I have been waking at least 2 times every night since 2 weeks ago because the little one is a little bit sick and need to be fed water during night. Call up school to take a week off for my daughter but will be worst as she needs to burn the energy else where but not much place I could go in a freezing winter.....
