HELP!!!!!!! I lost TDC!!! Need help aligning..

I forgot to turn the timing to TDC and when I removed the tensioner and cam sprocket to change my cam seals...I moved the cam gear may be off by one tooth or so. I slapped the belt back on and turn the crank clockwise and it seems like the marks aren't lining up at all. I removed all the spark plugs and stuck a wooden stick in number one cyl to see how far the piston would go up and the while I was turning th crank a small bit of the stick broke into the cyl...so what now...I'm about ready to give up and bring the car to a shop..help!

Just stop now before you do more damage. Take it to a professional and hope that you don't get raped on the bill.
