my PTO is spelled MIA

While Jason's family was here, we took some family photos after church.

It is always nice to have family come and visit.  Summertime is usually a booming time for guests at our house.  

After having my sister here for three weeks and Jason's family here for a week (all within 2 months), I have to admit that it is nice to have things back to normal for a little while.  Don't get me wrong, I loved every minute of it.  But it can also be a little exhausting, especially since I still had to work my 9-5 while everyone was here.  

I wish I would have been able to take some days off work while we had guests, but unfortunately my PTO (paid time off) always seems to burn a whole in my pocket.  (remember I went here and there, and before that here) And since I have to use my PTO for holidays, it seems to diminish twice as fast.  That's why I say my PTO is more like MIA (missing in action).  If it were up to me, I would get a week of vacation every month.  A girl can dream, right?
