Wow, some great advice on respite. Thanks @Cazzie @3forme  @BeHappy and @Snoo 

There's been some discusson on knowing when and how to take a break.  @3forme  spoke about forming a 'sense' of how her daughter is. This got me wondering what  people's 'senses' are of themselves in knowing when they need a break - in other words, when do you know you need respite?

For me, it can sneak up on me, and I can suddenly find myself saying, 'gees, I need a break'. Usually, this is accompanied with feeling tired, and irritable, and indecisive. What about you?
