I am sorry if I sounded sensitive earlier. Of course I do need to take breaks also, it is only that I quite enjoy editing here, and I am feeling a bit useless at the moment. My family has decided to hire a housekeeper in order to give me a break from taking care of the home. Whilst this might sound wonderful to most people I am feeling quite down at the prospect of it, as taking care of the home is something I enjoy doing for my family. I do realize I require a rest, however I am not used to being looked after by others! I've been a mother for 36 years and I feel rather lost at the moment.

Thank you Nicolette, this explains it quite well.
