Suri:
You can get a windshield repair kit from the mail order house JCWhitney.
They have a repair kit for $7.98 that will repair one chip, or a deluxe
kit that will repair "numerous" chips which sells for $14.99. 
Unfortunately, you also have to pay for shipping which cost anywhere
from $4.00-$7.35 depending on where you live.
