the price I've paid

replacing Adam's life history book that Josh tore; $90
.
paying for the decoration Josh broke at the Florida beach house; not sure yet
.
paying out of pocket for the dent my run away grocery cart made in the car next to mine; $700
.
keeping my honesty and integrity; priceless
.
just trying to stay positive here
.
now excuse me while I try to forget this whole path of destruction and the price I paid for my honesty
.
actually, not going to happen. I'll remember it every grocery trip and I can promise you now that no grocery cart of mine will EVER roll away again

So sorry, I can tell you that you are not the only one. We just replaced another two toilets this week because of a little un-named baby in our house who shoved stuff in them that could not be snaked out. Price was over $700 -ugh!

So good of you to stay positive and honest. Sometimes doesn't life sound so much easier the other way...

I want to laugh, I want to cry, I want to say, Intregrity always wins......Mostly in the long run.

:( wow. $700 seems like a lot for a dent. Hope that cart was full of groceries as it rolled away!
