Accidents happen...

Augh... I am going on a mini vacation tomorrow, and I am leaving my home a 6AM the only problem is that it is now 1:30AM!! Yikes, I need to get some sleep, but something scary happened. Yesterday, I noticed something silver and liquid on my bathroom floor. I assumed that it was paint, so I wiped it up with a towel. It left a grey streak on my floor, so I went back and later got it with some bleach and a towel. None of my kids admitted to it, so I kind of let it go. This night I had a light bulb moment and remembered that I had an old mercury thermometor. I ran to check and sure enough I found the broken thermometer. I FREAKED!! I googled and got all sorts of scary results so I called poison control. A man named Marco told me a million ways to clean up mercury spills, even though I explained it had already been cleaned up, but thats all. I asked repeatedly if I should be worried, he continued to just say no, it will be fine. Google sounds much worse, so I am calling my doctor tomorrow! My nephews have been here for the last two days so I have had five kids ages 7m to 7y, I am worried!!!!
