it can't be the timing belt b/c the timing belt can't slip. it has teeth. what it could be is your tires breaking traction and peeling out when you take off??
It's an accessory belt that just needs to be tightened. alternator,power steering,a/c belt. check the tension on those and adjust.

check your alternator, power steering, or A/C belts. I'm betting its your alternator belt. Tighten it up and the squeeling should go away.
You can by a lube-spray for your belt(s) at an automotive parts store too.

Remember, all the accessory belts have to come off to do the timing belt. One probably was not tightened properly. Check the tensioner pulley for the AC. If it comes off it takes the PS belt with it then jambs against the crank pulley and breaks it. Mine was squeeling at low speed, then came off and did the above.
Check all the belts and assorted bolts that tighten them just in case.

thanks guys. I think i figured out which one was loose today while checking through the engine. Im going to tighten it tomorrow and I should be all set. I removed the a/c, cruise and p/s so that got rid of those to worry about. Its the alternator belt....I appreciate it guys!!
