To add to what Peter said, I've had this vacation crunch issue in the past, and it's easily solved by just setting a time for mnemosyne, and sticking to that time. If you don't get all your scheduled cards done in that time, no biggie. Eventually you'll get through the backlog. I use a little timer-app on my computer for something like 5 or 10 mins a day, and that works out fine for me.
