try to go call up place in city of industry, they seem to have the stuff in good price, unlike in lincoln height(ghetto height) they only stock corolla and metro geo glass.
don't blast the heat at night, it would crack the glass even more
it shouldn't be a problem for couple of day/week, but you could get pulled by the poo poo for it

I assume you mean the windshield and not a window. Anyway, a small crack can be sealed and repaired, usually for free by your insurance company. However, now that it's grown significantly larger you will have to replace the windshield.
You can either go through your insurance company or pay out of pocket. The last time I replaced my windshield it cost me around $400. I replaced the OEM windshield with a PPG windshield, seems to be just fine.

If you have insurance, full coverage or paid a little extra for the windshield coverage. They should cover the windshield replacement. The deductible is usually $50. Call your insurance co. You can also ask for a OEM windshield also. I had it done on my 2005 BMW.

Insurance covered mine for a $50 deductable. It's a comprehensive claim and should not count as an accident. No rate increase.
Be thankful it is only your windshield. In my case, the rock bounced off the hood first. The total claim was $1300.
