I have the same feeling from time to time. If you take time away, you can get your thoughts together because you certainly don't want that while you are on the ball field.
In 1992, I decided to make umpiring my summer job (I was in college at that time). I worked 5 nights a week for a total of 6 games(Friday's were DH). M-W-F were 11-12 years old and T-TH were 13-14. After about 3 weeks, I couldn't stand baseball anymore. Topping it off was that most of the baseball in Raleigh NC at that time was over by early July. I still had 6 weeks left before college started again. I made some extra peanuts by working for Raleigh Parks and Rec at a community center.
You'll work through this and decide if you want to keep going. I think that every umpire gets tired of seeing the same faces, hearing the same crap, and dealing with the same mess night after night at some point. It's those times when you need to evaluate if you need a break or not.
