Count Down to Vacation

We are going on vacation on Friday the 3rd. Because of this and the timing of this I am up to my flippin neck in work. I am stressing about it to a degree - trying to contain it though and not let it get to me. From Thursday to Today we all have been bouncing around in tractors, picking rocks and trying to get the field ready to spray alfalfa seed on it. Finally after hours and hours on end of tractorin' (as the kids say) we got the seed on the ground and rolled behind it. Now that is FINALLY done I can work on the other stuff that needs to be done before our vacation.

I am also working on putting a rebuild engine in a truck that belongs to my Brother. Hope I dont get brothered to death here. This truck has been in the shop for about 2 months now and I have only been getting an hour in on it at a time, makes things terrible though. I spend the first 1/2 hour walking around and trying to think about where I left off the last time I was there. Very frustrating for me. I would like to get the engine back into the truck before I leave on vacation, we will see how the week goes for me and if I can get it done.

Not exactly the best timing for a vacation. Normally on the 5th of July we start haying, but since we are going to be gone I am not sure if my Uncles will start haying with out me. Now I am not saying that they cant or are not capable. They are very capable and quite good at it, they just seem reluctant now that I am going to be gone for the beginning of it. SIGH!! Crazy men anyhow. I am sure they will start and be fine, I do feel a little bad. But on the other hand I need a freaking vacation. I need to get away & not think about irrigating, mechanics, haying, tractors, equipment, cows, fence or whatever else has been on my mind lately. The funny thing about all these worries is they either happen or dont happen (I know it sounds dumb) it is not the end of the world. I have things on my to do list that have been there for 3 years and have not bothered me one bit.
The kids are very excited for the family vacation. We are going to Glacier Nat'l Park for 4 days, on the way up we will take our time and stop when we feel like and do what the heck ever we please. We did this last year and it was a great time. Looking very forward to the whole thing. I am dreading coming home though. But I will be ready for it, all rested up and ready to go back at it.
