Stressing!!!!

Recently my family and I moved to Georgia. I have been wanting to move here for quite while since I have always felt drawn to the south and my best friend lives here and has been wanting me to come. We have not been here long, only since February. We used our tax refund money to move here and keep us aflaot untill we had an income coming in. Everything WAS going great. We had only been here a little less than two weeks before my husband found employment. My kids have adjusted and gotten setttled into the school here well. This state is beautiful. My friend and I are able to get together every weekend...What could possibly be wrong? Well, as I said, everything WAS great..... untill this past Friday afternoon. Friday, my husband received a phone call informing him that he had been laid off! Okay, we are currently living in a motel and paying rent by the week, as it was our plan to do it this way untill we could find an apartment or something. We have no savings. My husband's income is our only income. (so, ok, maybe our planning wasn't to great, but, we knew that it wouldn't take my husband long to find a job when we got here because he is skilled trades....except we didn't count on him getting laid off or anything of that nature so soon afterwards...). We still have not had a chance to transfer our car over and get Georgia plates or anything, the plate expires at the end of this month....So what do we do now?!....I mean, we have money to cover the rent this week and my husband still has one more check coming so we have money to cover the rent next week also..But since it takes 2 weeks to get your first check when you start a new job, and takes at least a little time to find a job, it is not likely he will find a new position before our money runs out. He has registered at a number of employment agencies and has decided to work at one of those, daily work--daily pay places until he gets offered another regular job somewhere...But what if that place doesn't have a job assignment for him every day? What if it's not enough?...I think I might try to find a job temporarily till we get back on our feet, but, it isn't going to be easy for me to find anything fast because 1. I have to find something within walking distance since we only have one car and my husband needs that to get to the daily work, daily pay. 2. My hours of availability are limited because I can only work while my kids are in school since I can't afford child care and 3. I have not worked in 4 years because I have been a stay at home mom.....hmmm...I don't know why I'm spilling all this here...I'm just totally stressed...
