Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

We've had a major family pow-wow around here and come to a big decision that has made me cry.

Because of our one-car status (with no hope in the near future of getting another one) and because of gas prices and traveling to practice -- which is in another county, about half an hour away from our house, but the facility is free and gorgeous and has all new, top-of-the-line volleyball equipment -- as well as to away games that include locations like Lafayette, South Bend and Ft. Wayne, Meelyn and Aisling are not going to be able to play volleyball this year. This would have been Meelyn's first year playing varsity.
